Find the perfect gift

Giving a villager their loved gift is the fastest way to raise friendship, and it matters most for the twelve marriage candidates. Caldarus adores home-cooked fare like apple honey curry, fried rice and sushi platter, while Seridia has a softer taste for fog orchid, night queen and shadow flower.

Handing out loved gifts is also how you earn the pickup hints that speed up your fishing, farming and mining skills. If you're collecting for the museum, some artifacts are also popular gifts — check twice before donating.
