How Gifts Work

Use documented reactions, not assumed tiers

The current Japanese guide data indicates one gift per villager per day, four Likes and four Dislikes per villager, and relationship progress from requests as well as gifts. The game's observation / focus feature can reveal a villager's liked and disliked items.

Birthday Gift Note

Birthdays are useful to track, but the exact relationship bonus for birthday gifts is still being verified. This guide does not assign a fixed multiplier.

Disliked items can produce a negative reaction, but the exact friendship-point penalty has not been verified. Items without a documented Like or Dislike are not automatically labeled Neutral.

A Practical Gift Routine

Find the item first, then plan the easiest route to get it

The reverse finder is useful when you already have an item. When you are preparing a week of gifts, start with birthdays and source categories so the same gathering, farming or cooking trip can support several villagers.

Step 1

Check the birthday calendar

Filter villagers by season and review the birthday cards before planning a route. The exact birthday multiplier is not assigned here, so use the calendar for timing rather than an unverified point calculation.

Step 2

Use one documented Like as your target

Search a villager, choose one documented Like, then open the linked source database. This is safer than assuming that an item without a listed Dislike is automatically Neutral or universally useful.

Step 3

Batch the acquisition trip

Group gifts by source: seasonal crops, forest forage, quarry materials, fish, hunting drops or processed goods. The Resources Database and Processing Guide can help turn the reverse result into a route.

Step 4

Keep requests and recipes in the same plan

A recipe gift may also support cooking progression, while a requested material may be needed for village progress. Cross-check Recipes and Requests before using a limited item.

Evidence note: the database currently records Likes and Dislikes, but it does not claim a full loved, hated or neutral tier system. Unknown reactions should remain unknown until supported by an in-game observation or reliable source.

Easy Year 1 Gifts

No safe per-villager Easy Gift recommendation is published because the current item records do not normalize Year 1 availability, repeatability, season access and progression cost together.

Criteria: Year 1 availability is known; repeatable source is known; no rare RNG dependency; no late-game building dependency; no multi-step route when a simpler liked item exists.

Source guide links

Gift items keep stable IDs and source routes. Use the linked Crops, Fishing, Cooking, Processing, Mining, Wild Animals, Foraging and Shop Inventory authorities instead of guessing availability.

Safe derived candidates: none.

Seasonal Birthdays

Birthdays recur every in-game year

Use the season grouping to plan ahead. Birthday dates are stored as a season ID and numeric day.

Progression Safety

A liked item may still be important elsewhere

Do not label rare or progression-sensitive materials as best gifts merely because someone likes them.

Source families to double-check

14 Mining or Hunting item IDs are flagged for an owning-guide check before gifting. The badge is a safety warning, not a score.

Requests are separate

Villager Requests, Chief Deliveries and story handovers are not counted as gifts in the current relationship model. Requests can raise Friendship, but delivery is a separate interaction.

Common Problems and FAQ

Gift rules at a glance

Check the counter boundary before assuming a hidden preference tier or a broken birthday rule.

How many gifts can you give per day?

One normal gift per villager per day.

How many normal gifts can you give per week?

Two normal gifts per villager per week. The counter resets on Monday.

Does a Birthday Gift count toward the weekly limit?

No. It is separate from the normal weekly allowance.

Does a Birthday Gift count toward Meal Invitations?

No. It does not fill the normal weekly gift gauge used by Meal Invitations and Sleepovers.

When do gifts unlock?

Through Helping Ticket progression. Spring 16 is an observed timing hint, not a fixed event date.

How do I see what a villager likes?

Use Focus. The current record says it reveals liked and disliked items.
