How to get gifts in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

To get the different gifts in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, you’ll need to either go fishing, mining, harvest your crops, milk your cows, items from dig sites, or by cooking unique recipes.

One of the best features of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is you can get items from nearly everything you do. Once you do have them, you can gift them to the appropriate villager.

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life: How to gift items to Villagers

Gifting items to villagers in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is straightforward, and all you need to do is:

  1. Hold or equip the item for the appropriate villager.
  2. Speak to the villager—the one the gift is for—and choose the dialogue options referring to the item.

And that’s it! 

The catch, however, is you can only gift one item from each category to each villager per day, and not all villagers will stay in Year Two, so be sure to befriend them before they leave. I know befriending and wooing villagers would be much easier and less time-consuming if we could give them a bunch of their favorite items, but sadly, we can’t.

Whenever I harvest my crops, go mining, or finish, I always see who I can give my items to, even if I don’t want to romance them, because you can get some pretty neat rewards. However, I would prioritize only the villagers you can romance and get the best tools from in Year One. That way, you’re not missing out.
