How to give gifts in Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Giving gifts is relatively straightforward. You’ll need to approach the character and select the gift icon in the lower right-hand corner (X on Nintendo Switch). You can give up to three gifts per day, which resets daily with your timezone. However, if you manage to get a Friendship Blossom, you can gift an extra three presents that day by gifting the Blossom first. Friendship Blossoms are a legendary daily login reward, so make sure to claim them in the phone menu under Daily Rewards.
All friendship gifts in HKIA
While each Island resident has preferred gifts, you’ll be glad to know there are no unacceptable gifts. So, you can’t decrease your friendship hearts by gifting an item that doesn’t have hearts. There are three levels of ideal gifts: Three heart, two heart, and one heart. You’ll want to focus on the three heart gifts to maximize your efforts.
