I'm not seeing this topic anywhere else yet, so here's the traditional thread for the lovely gifts the PAs are surprising us with this season:
THANK YOU! 
I do hope that I'll find some time to create some renders with the gifts. Until then, just know please that it's very much appreciated!
Also, I love that DAZ are keeping up the advent calendar, so thanks a lot for this was well!

Thank you for starting this, I have moved it to the Commons where it will fit better than in Daz Studio Discussion since it is addressed to the PAs.
Oh sorry, must have clicked on the wrong button! Of course it was meant for the Commons. Thanks!
Silly me had no idea that one was meant to click on the giftbox to reveal the choices. Inadvertently did so today, and Surprise! So, thanks.
Thank you to the PAs for these wonderful gifts!
Thank you PAs for all the lovely gifts!
Thanks tsroemi for starting the thread. Here's a list of the gifts (minus the days when I'm away/offline after the 18th).
Here's the link to the full list supplied by felis. Thank you felis! Full list of gifts
Thank you, PAs!
Yes, thank you to the PAs and to DAZ!
@SapphireBlue, thanks for starting the list!
My favorite so far was the old-timey heater, how cute and useful is that? The wreath is also incredibly beautiful and detailed.
I have been charmed and thrilled by each one every day so far. I have used one of the poses from Feng even.
And the https://www.daz3d.com/christmas-bouquets-and-vases went into my cart immediately.
Such beautiful gifts... I can tell a lot of time & love went into them. :)
Thank you to the PAs for making my morning store check merry and bright. <3
Yes! Today's flowers and vases are wonderful! I can't believe we get to have them for free.
Thank you Daz and all the PAs for the amazing gifts!
I must be doing something wrong. I don't see anything for free, but then again I haven't had the ability to purchase anything in the last couple of weeks either so if it is based upon that.

is todays, the link will only last one day
thanks!
Keep scrolling. The daily PA gift is pretty far down.
Thank you very much DAZ and PA for the beautiful gifts!
My sincere thanks as well to the PA's for the gifts and DAZ for the punches and other specials.
Items from my wishlist have appeared amongst the offers for the second third day in a row now. Coincidence?
Hallelujah!

Today's revolver by Mattymanx is rigged it says, which is great! Also comes with a bullet and a G9 pose. Neat!
Thank you! I hadn't scrolled down nearly far enough. I had stopped at opening the gifts.
Thank you! I missed it but I did get today's and now I know what I need to do for sure.
Just an FYI, the MMX Revolver 1873 is not accurate to the real Colt army revolver. It was created as part of a modeling tutorial that focused on modeling technique and not model accuracy.
@MattyManx it still looks pretty cool, thanks for that!
They also appear in the main store sequence of new releases, but I gather that many people just use the promo page to check new releases where they are a separate listing.
¡Muchas gracias!
Can someone who bought the gun recently released by Feng checks how the free poses works? I didn't and the end result is very strange.
I don't really know how the poses of the Titan Mk Action Poses were saved or if it's the result of not owning the gun, but while the needed rotations and translations are done on the hip, they are also rotations and translations applied on the figure itself, a figure which ends in a bugged final position (setting all translations and rotations on the figure to zero put the figure in the intended pose).
These rotations and translations on the figure also made no sense whatsoever: I compared them with translations and rotations applied on the hip, but I don't see any relation between the ones on the hip and the ones on the figures. The later feel like they were randomly generated for some reasons.
The poses are also trying to load the guns, which is common in a lot of props poses, but it feels strange when the props are sold separatly.
The last pose will also make the figure invisible so I ended with creepy eyes and mouth floating alonsgide two crossbows
Outside of these strange problems (no idea if it's possible to open a ticket for a freebie, so I'll likely spend a couple of minutes loading each pose, setting all translations and rotations on the figure back to 0 and save them before replacing the original files with the result), the poses do look nicely made.
As a bonus, the poses are labelled as a pose preset so they work with a pose converter. And for some reasons, the one I'm using by n_alexandru is not applying the translations and the rotations on the figure so these pose actually works better on the figures they are not made for, especially because the converter also completly ignores the props.
The gun is https://www.daz3d.com/fn-triple-barrel-titan-mk. I don't have it.
Indeed, thank you all!
