Providing gifts to people are one of the joys that we get to experience in real life. There are many occasions where we do this such as holidays and birthdays, and it’s nice to see the reactions of those who receive them. In Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, gift giving is also one of the game’s features. As the new farmer, it’s your duty to introduce yourself to the residents and build your relationship with them.
Being able to provide gifts will help you bond with the residents. You can also build up your relationships and possibly form romantic ones. Knowing which gifts provide the best points is useful for this. In our gift guide, we’ll provide you with the list of the resident’s birthdays, their loved gifts, and liked gifts.
Interacting will all of the residents in Olive Town will let you be able to put their names on your notebook. Press X and then press R until you find the Resident Information page. There you’ll see the list of residents that you have interacted with, and you’ll see that there are hearts on the left side of the page.
Providing gifts to the residents will increase their friendship points with you. Also, you’ll see that there’s a gift icon there as well. This icon indicates that you can only provide gifts once a day, and it will be filled up once you already have given them one.
Building your relationships with the residents will provide you with new interactions. There are also 10 Marriage candidates in the game which are split to 5 Bachelors, and 5 Bachelorettes. If your goal is to have a relationship with them, then knowing their favorite gifts will come in handy.
Similar to us in real life, the residents in Olive Town also have their own birthdays. Unlike your typical calendar however, Story of Seasons implements a season-based calendar where a year is comprised of 4 seasons, and 28 days each. You can also check the calendar in the game through your notebook.
Here, you can view each season and check the birthdays of the residents. There are also holidays that are marked with the flags. Knowing the birthday of a resident that you wish to befriend will be useful since you’ll be able to get increased friendship points for this day.
If you’re consistent with giving a specific resident a gift that they like daily, and if you provide them with a gift they love on their birthday, then you’ll have no issues maximizing your friendship with them. Also, bachelors and bachelorettes let you experience “Heart Events” which provides you with some scenes about their character.
Now that you know more about how gifts work as well as the benefits of providing it on their birthdays, you’ll want to provide them with items that they love or really like. Each resident has their own quirks in terms of items that they enjoy, so this also means that they have items that they might hate.
In this list, we’ll be providing you with the best gifts, liked gifts, as well as their birthdays. This way, you’ll be able to prepare which gift is suitable for the resident that you’re trying to build a relationship with. We have also prepared the list in order of their birthdays. Make sure to use your Town Map as well to know their locations!

That’s a lot of residents that you’ll get to know in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. If you have the capability of providing gifts once a day for each resident, it would be easier for you to focus on a select number first and try to maximize your relationship with them. This way, it will be much faster since you’ll be able to familiarize yourself with their daily schedule.
Once you’re able to raise their hearts, you’ll be able to view some of their heart events and learn more about their lives. Eventually, you’ll even be able to be in a relationship with one of the bachelors and bachelorettes. We hope that our gifting guide has helped you!
