When: February 3–17
Where: Located outside Orgrimmar and Stormwind, with portals to the Gala of Gifts found in major cities around Azeroth.

With help from the Artisan's Consortium, Stormwind and Orgrimmar are putting on a Gala of Gifts, where townsfolk can get tokens of kindness and affection for their loved ones. Complete quests, defeat Apothecary Hummel or donate to the Artisan's Consortium to earn Love Tokens and exchange them for exquisite rewards.
