I am trying to think of the global prizes or the special gifts thru the hayday NewYears.
Telescope, fireworks barrel, typewriter, gramophone (?), animal balloons.
Does anyone remember what they were and in what order by year?

Wasn’t the gramophone a prize that was missed by not making the Global Goal? Seems it was, and then they brought it out on the WOF. Then again, maybe the coffee hasn’t fully kicked in. :)
The fireworks barrel was a year ago. (I know that because it was my first New Years playing the game.)
Gramophone December 2014
telescope December 2013
The telescope must have been first for sure because that's the only one I don't have, so was from before I started playing.
Same here. I wound up buying the telescope as soon as it was available in the shop. I agree with the rest of the line-up:
2013 - telescope
2014 - gramophone (Yes, we had to get it through the WoF since we didn’t make the goal. The event was a debacle, but we did have a lot of “fun” with the wheel. There was a lot of talk here in the forums about getting/not getting the gramophone. SC could regularly create a stir by putting a premium item on the wheel.)
2015 - typewriter (I still wish the desk had a chair)
2016 - fireworks barrel (I love mine and wish they would offer a second one with different colors. I fire it off over the river every time I launch the riverboat.)
2017 - grandfather clock (looks like we ought to meet the goal with time to spare)
The animal balloons were threshold prizes in 2014, and I think they had first appeared in 2013. Many folks have asked for other new ones to be added, but we haven’t seen any—even the original ones—for years. I love my balloons. So do the Dibley Fields animals.
Any suggestions for next year’s grand prize?
I love the clock. Alfred just brought it.
