NPC gift tastes are funny.

I think most advanced players probably have memorized at least one loved gift for most NPCs.

Like, Shane and his pepper poppers and his beer.

Haley with the coconuts and sunflowers.

You get the idea.

But I think it's really interesting to look at an NPC's specific gift tastes and find out new things. For example, I had no idea one of Alex's liked gifts are frog eggs.

That's so cute.

Or that Emily dislikes icecream. I wanna know why... Emily! Bare your soul to me and tell me why you don't like ice cream.

There seems to be a real effort by CA not to have one perfect gift you can just give everyone and relatively easily farm (one way or another). The closest thing is Rabbit's Feet but the only Farmer I know who might generate enough to gift everyone is @MogBeoulve . The rest require you to get to pretty late game before you could effectively farm them (Prismatic Shard) and even then you only get 4-10 per Skull Cavern run. That's just wayyy too much work for Farmer Bobbi.

So then it drops to Universal Likes and the easiest of these to farm might be Apricots, which everyone Likes with no exceptions. With 34 villagers, that's 272 gifts/season plus another 9/season for birthdays for a gift total of 281 gifts/season. 10 Apricot Trees will give you 280/season and is there anyone who plays the game so perfectly as to gift at every single opportunity? So an initial outlay of 20,000g for 10 Apricot Saplings gets you continuous Liked Gifts with little fuss. You can work up to 10 Trees slowly and stick with giving any Liked/Loved gifts you're familiar with to cover the rest but this is an easy gifting train. After you're done Gifting you can Jar/Keg the Apricots for additional revenue.

Edit: Taking this a step further, how long to get everyone to 10 :heart: using only
Apricots?

That's 2500 Friendship Points, you'll get 1800 the first year if gifting 2x/week plus Birthday. With silver quality fruit the second year you'll finish 10 :heart: in only ~7 weeks, and up to a season sooner if they have a Birthday during that time.

Less than a year and a half to get everyone in town to 10 :heart: with only 10 Apricot trees and using only one slot in your inventory even if you wander town at the ready to give gifts at all times. LOL this seems so easy that Farmer Bobbi will be trying this out in the next save!

One funny thing when looking for other options is this for almost all Vegetables:

Heh I guess this is a bit of evidence for which of the eligible bachelor/ettes are the youngest. I'd headcanoned Haley as older and spoiled but this argues for her being younger.
