Coral Island, a charming farming simulation game by Stairway Games, features a vibrant cast of villagers with whom players can form friendships and romantic relationships. One of the key aspects of deepening these relationships is through gifting. Understanding each villager’s preferences is crucial for maximizing your connections and unlocking unique events. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you select the perfect gifts for every villager in Coral Island.
While each villager has their unique likes and dislikes, there are a few items that are almost universally loved by the residents of Coral Island, with minimal exceptions:
- Black Rose: Loved by everyone except Noah.
- Pink Diamond: Loved by everyone except Jim.
- Rainbow Wool: Adored by most villagers.
To give a gift, select the item in your hot bar and right-click on the character. Remember, you cannot gift items directly from your inventory; they must be in the hot bar first.
It’s important to note that there are universal dislikes, which should be avoided as gifts. These include items like Artifacts, Bait, Building materials, Failed dishes, Fossils, Seeds, and Trash. Gifting impacts the Heart Gauge, which measures the level of friendship and love with each NPC. Filling up this gauge not only strengthens your relationship but also unlocks unique friendship-only events
- Listen to Villagers: Often, villagers will express their likes and dislikes during conversations. Pay attention to these cues for hints on the best gifts​​.
- Attend Events: Participating in events and interacting with villagers is another way to increase your bond with them.
