How Do I Give Rune Factory 5 Gifts?
Luckily, the process of actually giving a gift in Rune Factory 5 is very easy. All you need to do is craft the gift of your choice, then equip it in your hands by pressing Y. The protagonist will then carry it around. Then, simply find the character you wish to give the gift to, then press A when you're close enough. They'll then speak a few lines of dialogue, which determine whether they like or dislike their gift. As such, you'll want to make sure it's something they actually want in order to avoid jeopardising your bond with a dodgy gift.
