Giftsplosion 2013 is one of the four annual events in which ROBLOX staff releases multiple gifts in the form of hats, each with a specified way to earn it for free. Gifts are rewarded to those who meet the requirements of the gift within one to three days. If the user cannot earn the gift for free, then (s)he is still able to buy it for a set price (usually in Robux) after it becomes available for purchase in the Catalog. After it goes off-sale, the gift will open and a new item will appear in the user's inventory if (s)he owns the gift. Once a gift has been awarded to those who met the requirements, there is no other way to earn it for free, as the gift would already become available for purchase at the Catalog.
