If you're really quick, you can collect gifts from town visitors when the eggspress arrives.

As soon as they have given the gift they no longer count for your town total.
I have my town designed as a maze, so the released visitors always miss the train and have to wait 6 hours for the next one. That means my hoodies can pick them up.
