Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a cozy experience teeming with items to find, quests to complete, and decorations to place. But perhaps most of all, it’s overflowing with adorable pals to befriend as you explore the island and grow your in-game social circle. As with similar games in the cozy life sim genre, you’ll need to give gifts to those pals to improve the level of your friendships, earning yourself some new goodies for doing so.
Gifting basics
You can gift up to three gifts to each character per day. Afterward, you’ll need to wait for the next day to begin handing gifts out again, unless…
There are two items that can reset how many gifts you can give in a day:
- Friendship Blossom is a My Melody Daily Reward earned by logging in on Tuesdays. This item can be used to reset how many gifts you can give a single character.
- Friendship Bouquet is a My Melody Daily Reward earn by logging in on Saturdays. This item can be used to reset every character’s total gift amount for the day.
Every item you can gift in the game has tags that must match tags liked by a specific character for you to be able to gift it to them. For instance, Hello Kitty loves Bakery, Fruit, and Fancy tags, so items you gift her should aim to match a minimum of one of these tags. Generally speaking, each tag that matches between a character and an item adds to the amount of friendship XP you’ll earn when gifting it to them. Your goal is (usually) to aim for 3-heart gifts any time you can to ensure you’re maximizing your earned friendship XP.

Here are all of the 3-heart gifts for each character that can guarantee you faster friendship leveling.
