Something I really like about Lioden is how quite a few of the events are related! Like September being foreshadowing to October, or the March event causing a boom in rabbits for April.
However, I usually only see this connection in the next event - for example, March and April are connected, but only April mentions that connection. That's understandable, as they both have very different vibes. But I think it would be neat to see each event have some sort of closure.

Also, it sucks forgetting that it's the last day of an event and forgetting to spend your stuff - this could be an in-shop reminder!

So! My suggestion is for a slight change to the shops on the last day of the event. The text could be slightly different, something about "(x crisis/event) is dying down - we're packing up our shop."
Maybe along with the text change, a couple random shop items could be offered at a slight discount? Nothing gamebreaking, just "Oh hey, we've got too much of this item to bring with us - wanna buy it? I'll knock off a couple beetles for you!" The discounts would be random, and probably not for breeding items or apps.

The November shop is a pretty good example of this, with "We live a nomadic life so we will be gone by the end of the month." Wenet's goodbye/claiming is great too!

Some example ideas - suggestions more than welcome!

flavour text is nice but not offering discounted product. would skew the market imo.

Yeah I can see how discounting would be an issue! My best solution for that (besides not adding it) would be just a 5% discount and randomizing which items get discounted (same site wide, but unpredictable and changed each year)

Also editing to say that my idea would be 5 items at most that were discounted!

Anubis: "I thank you, [NAME] for your invaluable aid. I cannot overstate how much your faith in me matters. However I can't stay here for much longer, for I have friends and family to return to. But I'll forever keep you in my thoughts."

Seth: "Mortal lion, I must return to my slumber soon, but it's been great to have you around. How about one last tussle, and perhaps some extra trinkets too?"

Draco Demiurge: "[NAME], now that the Grand Demiurge Council is over, we have little need for Axion cores anymore. We'll lower the price for certain goods before we leave; feel free to grab what you like."

Shamash: "I'm grateful for your help protecting the animals, but with the oncoming monsoon, my services are needed elsewhere. Perhaps, as a reward for your good deeds, I can discount some of the wares I'm selling?"

Gaunab: "Us maneaters will need to find fresher ground, because those wretched humans are coming back with more weapons. Oh, you can't leave with us? Fine, how about some extra rewards then?"

i dont think discounts would be bad if they were random and limited to decor/backgrounds. and a limit of 5 sounds good too. i'm not sure how awful it would be if items like giant tortoises, black stallions, etc. were discounted, but i think for sure breeding items should be excluded

overall, i really like this idea :)
