[[File:Daily Gift Calendar.png|thumb]]
The '''Daily Gift Calendar''', or simply the '''calendar''', is a feature added in [[Version History|Version 1.8]]. It is a daily rewards system that awards [[Research|Epic Research]], [[Golden Eggs]], [[Bocks]], and more at [https://time.is/UTC 00:00 UTC] every day. Most of the rewards on the calendar change every month. Each "month" is actually 28 days, and if you miss a day then you will not have to restart the month; you will just pick up from where you left off.
==Rewards==
All cash rewards are based on [[Farm Value]]. The amount given is the number in the table multiplied by Farm Value. For example, "*1.05" means a cash reward of your Farm Value times 1.05 Bocks.

This page will only list the first 3 years of calendar rewards, as starting on month 25, all monthly rewards rotate through a fixed pattern of 42 possible months (months 25 and 67 are identical), and it is simpler to list some example months and describe the pattern.  Note that as a result, the claim the game makes below the calendar, "Each month the Calendar resets and becomes more <font color="#8600c4">valuable</font>!", '''''is false'''''.

Because the calendar was only introduced on 15 April 2019, the maximum progress currently legitimately obtainable is day 1 of month 67 (as of 24 June 2024).<!-- If you need to edit the calendar rewards, you need to edit the CommonGiftMonth template -->

Starting with this year, only three days ever vary, ''and all scaling stops'' - the varying days rotate through the same fixed selection they've rotated through since Year 1:
*Week 3, Day 2: +1 rank of {{Epic Research|Transportation Lobbyists|32}} on even months and {{Epic Research|Epic Hatchery|32}} on odd months.
*Week 3, Day 6: +1 boost: {{Boost|Money Printer|32}} when the month is a multiple of 3, {{Boost|Epic Soul Beacon|32}} the following month, and {{Boost|Boost Beacon|32}} after that (the month before being a multiple of 3).
*Week 4, Day 2: +1 of 7 boosts based on the month being a multiple of 7 and then proceeding in order:
*#{{Boost|Legendary Boost Beacon|32}}
*#{{Boost|Money Printer|32}}
*#{{Boost|Jimbo's Best Bird Feed (big)|32}}
*#{{Boost|Epic Boost Beacon|32}}
*#{{Boost|Epic Tachyon Prism|32}}
*#{{Boost|Legendary Soul Beacon|32}}
*#{{Boost|Large Boost Beacon|32}}

This means all remaining monthly rewards rotate through a fixed pattern of 42 possible months (months 25 and 67 are identical).

==Notes==
*Prior to the Daily Gift Calendar being introduced into the game, you would get a Daily Gift of either [[Golden Eggs]] or [[bocks]] for checking in once a day (also refreshing at 00:00 UTC).
*At the end of every month (from Month 1 to 24), you receive an Egg of Prophecy, so check in every day!
**For the first approximately two years and one month of the calendar's existence, month 25 onwards continued to award an Egg of Prophecy at the end of the 28-day cycle. This allowed players to exceed the developer's intended limit of 24 Eggs of Prophecy. This bug was patched shortly after month 25 became available, and anyone with a 25th calendar Egg of Prophecy had theirs removed.
*The easiest way to get free Epic Research and Golden Eggs is to check in every day. The more, the better.
**If you buy up to the maximum of an Epic Research the calendar provides, instead you get the Golden Eggs of the cost of the final level.  Not only does this immediately exceed any of the actual Golden Egg rewards, but you can buy the research while it's discounted by a [[Special Event]], and the calendar will still provide eggs as if you'd bought them undiscounted.
*The daily gift calendar follows a pattern, with values either staying the same, adding, or multiplying each month. Some values do have a cap. For boosts, there are cycles that repeat over several months.
*The calendar can be a very good way of getting Soul Eggs for new players and those who don't progress quickly through the game, as you can get over 1.25 billion Soul Eggs from simply opening the game on 140 different days (5 months). However, for late-game players, the Soul Egg rewards are largely useless compared to the number of Soul Eggs those players would already have or could earn from a [[Prestige]].
*After month 24, [[Eggs of Prophecy]] are no longer rewarded at the end of each month. Instead, 100,000 Golden Eggs are given, making it a total of 24 Eggs of Prophecy obtainable from the Daily Gift Calendar.
*On the info screen where it does not directly tell you what month of the calendar that you are on, you can tell what month you are on by looking at the farthest right Golden Egg reward on the top row and dividing it by 1,000. Until month 10, this is also the only reward in the calendar that does not have a cap. Month 10 onwards will have the same reward: 10,000 Golden Eggs.
