Take the following steps to get lots of unlockable items and achievements in Animal Crossing: City Folk on Wii.

To get the Mush Furniture Set: Look under the various mushrooms that will appear in your town. They usually appear around 03:00PM daily, in front of trees in the month of November. You may find an item from the Mush Furniture set (which includes furniture, carpet, wallpaper, and appliances). You can sell unwanted pieces at Tom Nook’s store.

To get the Snowman Items: When there is snow on the ground there is a chance that you will find two small balls of snow on the ground. If you take one ball and make it huge while keeping the other small then you can make a snowman. The snowman will come to life and mail you a random piece of snowman furniture.

Special Events Calendar: Download the official Animal Crossing: City Folk calendar from Nintendo’s official website. It’ll help you find special events and holidays (which usually have unlockables, like the days listed below).

Talk to Tortimer (the mayor) on these events for free items:

When he gives you them take them and go find the Turkey person in your town, Franklin. He is starting to get that we like to eat turkeys on thanksgiving, so for every pair of utensils he will give you furniture.
* On Nature/Earth Day (April 22) he’ll give you a Cool Globe.
