Best times to give people gifts

Most villagers have some working schedule, but it can also be unpredictable.

One thing to note is that many villagers enjoy walking, especially early in the mornings and evenings.

This time around is a great time to give gifts since they will be more relaxed and receptive.

It's best to avoid giving gifts when villagers are busy with their daily routines. For example, when Lumina is playing her piano.

So, wait until they take a break or have finished their work for the day.

Final thoughts

As we wrap up this gift guide for Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life for PS2, PS4, and PS5, we hope you've found some valuable tips to enhance your gameplay experience.

Remember! Building relationships with the villagers is crucial in progressing through the next chapter, and giving them their favorite items at the right time is the key to success.

Another factor to consider is the quality of the gift. Giving a higher-quality item, such as an S-grade vegetable or golden egg, can vastly increase the friendship points compared to a regular one.

By paying attention to each character's likes and dislikes, timing, and quality, you can boost your relationship levels and unlock new events, opportunities, and rewards.

We hope this guide will be helpful for those seeking to improve their gift-giving knowledge in this charming farming simulator. Thanks for reading!
