Regarding the decoration that rewards you with points, realize that you're already a slave to the clock with the spinner wheel, and with the timing of the hatching and breeding. It's just a lot of game checking all week regardless.

From my last event, I calculated I eared about 9 points for each gold I spent in speeding up breeding and hatching, while the decoration would have ended up giving me about 6 points for each gold I spent (I didn't buy it though, and it turns out I didn't need it to come in first)
