How this planner works
Data. Gift preferences come from the wiki’s NPC Gifts Table and birthdays from its Birthdays calendar, verified 2026-10-07. Fondness values are the ranges the wiki publishes (+87~92 favorites, +43~47 likes, -10 dislikes, ×2 on birthdays).
How to read it. “Gifts for an NPC” shows one villager’s full preference card. “Who wants this item?” searches every NPC’s lists at once - useful before regifting or spending a rare item. Quest items are the things NPCs ask you to fetch for story quests, listed for completeness.
Limitations. (1) The wiki table has gaps (some NPCs lack favorites); we show the gaps rather than inventing data. (2) New NPCs and events can change lists - we re-sync after wiki updates and note them in the changelog. (3) Romance-specific gift rules (e.g. bouquets) aren’t in this dataset.
Frequently asked questions
How much fondness does a gift give in Harvest Town?
According to the wiki’s gift table: favorite items give about +87 to +92 fondness, liked items about +43 to +47, and disliked items -10. Neutral items (not on any list) give a small amount, and Garbage is a universal +1-2 gift that still counts for daily gifting tasks.
Do birthday gifts give extra fondness?
Yes - birthday gifts give double the usual fondness. Check the birthday calendar below and save your best gift for that date.
How do I give a gift?
Hold the item in your hand (tap it in your bag), then talk to the NPC - the “This is for you…” option appears. One gift per NPC per day is the practical rule; the wiki notes gifting works via the hand-hold interaction.
What should I give someone whose favorites I can’t make yet?
Work down the list: favorites first (cooked or crafted items often can’t be rushed early game), then likes - usually easier ingredients like Ginseng or cloth. As a general rule the wiki notes that things you grew, cooked or crafted yourself, plus nice wild fruits, are safe gifts for almost everyone.
Which gifts do the most NPCs love?
The most widely favored gifts in the current data: Licorice Tea (2 NPCs), Star of Fire (2 NPCs), Tangerine Tea (2 NPCs). Search any item in “Who wants this item?” mode to see exactly who wants it.
Why do some NPCs have no favorites listed?
The wiki’s gift table is community-maintained and still has gaps (a few Monster NPCs and children). Empty lists here mirror the wiki exactly rather than guessing - check back after wiki updates, or send us what you observe in-game.
