**********************************************************
On 2 Winter, unless you are in the midst of a terrible snowstorm, Thomas will appear at your door at 6.00 a.m. to request a random item from you. He is an inveterate gambler, you will discover, and each year will wager that he can obtain a random item, proving to the Mayor of a neighbouring town that HIS village is better... The fact that he is NOT Mayor of Forget-Me-Not Valley does not bother him in the least. He is quite happy to obtain the item from you instead of the rancher of Mineral Town, who apparently turned him down...
Now, the item he requests will be random and will change each time you load the game, so I recommend that players save their games BEFORE they exit the farmhouse on 2 Winter. You might consider this to be cheating in a way, but the fact is that the game does not play fair here.
In HM DS (boy version), the Mayor actually may request a Golden Egg as the item he wishes you to provide. There is NO Golden Egg in HM DS, although it is an item that can be obtained from a Chicken who wins the Chicken Festival in Friends of Mineral Town and More Friends of Mineral Town. If, therefore, the Mayor requests a Golden Egg, you are completely out of luck and it is beyond your power in ANY year to obtain a Golden Egg.
In Cute so far, the Mayor has asked me for Orange Marmalade (unobtainable in the first year), Green Pepper (cheap and easy if you stored some from Autumn), White Grass (I have it, but as if!!! I need it for Skye's Finest Curry), Diamond (too valuable), Bracelet (too valuable) and Matsutake (well, valuable, but I'll do it... I'm getting tired of this. It's worse than haggling with Van!)
If I had not saved my game before I left the house, I would not have been able to haggle with the Mayor by reloading the game over and over... Purists may be against it, but frankly, why should I be punished for not being able to give the man an Orange Marmalade in the first Winter? There is no way that your Orange Tree, even planted early in Spring, would yield an orange in the first year.

thnks for this. i couldn't find any info on it!
hi, srry to post this question on your blog as i am quite desperate. I wanna ask why i cant tigger the thomas request on winter 2, my weather is fine(sunny) with no snowing
Have you spoken to Thomas previously on any other day? I don't recall any specific requirements. Ordinarily, you simply exit the house on 2 Winter to trigger the event. Perhaps you have to have rescue at least one other sprite on that team ...
I just got asked for a Black Grass - so easy! :)
I actually got a 'Golden Egg' request from him. I haven't saved the game, well, its my call them.
Yes, you won't be able to find any Golden Eggs in HM DS or Cute DS. The list of items must have been taken from FoMT/MFoMT for this Event! I suggest that players ALWAYS save before they walk out the door on 2 Winter.
