Once in a while you will already have the item and you can send it to a friend and have them send it back and as soon as you collect it and close your giftbox you will see the same thing you see when you complete a quest in regular play. I've had some rare experiences where someone gifted me an entire collection and then had them come up later as quests and the completions for all of the collection items just fly by in order without any play at all.(Same if you have the whole collection and send it to someone to send back to you.) What you can not do unfortunately is combine a collection that contains a quest item and then have the quest done. You will get credit for the combining only when that comes along but it will not help you progress in the indidividual quest items. Also I want to point out that there is a talisman called the Candle of Eternity that you can earn during the Mirror Hall event (banish 100 event monsters) and it extends time allowed  to complete locations or puzzles by 20 seconds and lasts for 50 minutes. I believe the few people that reported using it, used it during a mini challenge requiring a lot of TB and or HL play and they said it made a huge difference. Obviously it is up to you to decide if you want to save it for such a mini challenge or to clear a some quests or a combination of both.

The spyglass in AC will briefly reveal all remaining pairs.

I hope that all makes sense and helps a bit. Best of luck!! Thank you, as well, for explaining the gifting along with the added wrinkles...I bet it is funny to watch the quests complete 'automatically.'

Very special thanks for mentioning the Candle of Eternity. With the event close to ending, I knew I wasn't going to complete anymore collections, so I wasn't worrying about banishing event monsters, but your comment got me thinking. I figured I was nowhere near banishing a 100, but it wouldn't hurt to banish all I could. Much to my surprise, I got the candle!

I plan to save it for a special occasion, when I have time to use it in conjuction with an energy talisman.
