As you get to known the island residents, you’ll learn more about what they like and dislike. Each character has their preferences, which dictates whether they’ll appreciate specific items that are given to them. While the gifts you offer your favorite islanders may be well-intentioned, they may not always be well-received. Because of this, you’ll want to make sure you’re handing out the best gifts for each character. Here’s a look at the best and worst gifts for each NPC.

Best Gifts for Every Romanceable Character in Coral Island

Coral Island features over 20 romance options, so there truly are plenty of fish in the sea when it comes to dating on your playthrough. That said, you’ll want to give awesome gifts to win the hearts of your favorite characters. This means focusing on universally loved and liked gifts as well as personal favorites.

There’s just one gift that almost every character loves: Pink Diamond. Fortunately, you can process this precious gem from geodes found in mines. Apart from this, most characters like to receive flowers.

This generally includes crafting materials, like wood, stone and trash.

However, there are several other items that most characters don’t like to receive. Here’s a closer look at the gifts that majority of the characters in Coral Island dislike:

• Tilapia
• Crayfish
• Metals
• Bait
• Kelp
• Low-quality dishes
• Explosives
• Insects
