With the official release, a lot of the gift info got changed.
All Gifts Guide
Intro
Spoiler Warning!
If you haven’t unlocked all of the characters, this is going to spoil it for you, as they are listed here.
- ‘Likes’ = +5 points
- ‘Loves’ = +9 points.
On birthdays, you get 3x the amount of points.
Key:
* = this item can be bought, either by the town vendors or by the traveling merchant. Some fish are random, in the ‘Solar Term Special Offer’ section at the fish stall, so you may not see them all the time. Some items the traveling merchant sells are also seasonal, so not everything will be available when you see her.
^ = this item can be crafted, though you may have to unlock the blueprint for it with Wei Hong, or through trade routes/development. The Fish Specimen’s are crafted by speaking with Chen Yuanzhou. I did not mark food or ingredients (like pickled cucumbers, liquor, pearl powder, etc).
** = this item can be purchased at Qiongzhen Pavilion, but only after unlocking it through trade routes/development.
The traveling merchant is in town during the first week (three days) of each season, as well as the 4th week of each season.
Some items listed may be locked due to your level, friendship level, quest progression, or trade route/development progress – so if you can’t find the item to craft/buy/forage, that’s probably why.
Everyone likes (+5) Dongting Tea, which can be traded for with the Mysterious Person in Red.
