Birthdays and Villagers' Favorite Gifts - Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Guide

This is the complete list of the birthdays and villagers' favorite gifts in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition PC, PS4, Switch, and Android.

Increasing friendship points (FP) with the villagers in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope is very important, despite not directly impacting the main storyline significantly.

However, it is closely tied to fulfilling requests from villagers and pursuing marriage. If you aspire to marry one of the marriage candidates, you must certainly raise their friendship points (FP).

HM LoH Gift Guide

In Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, you require a minimum of 4 pink music notes and fulfill other criteria to get married. Similar to other games in the Harvest Moon series, you simply need to interact, converse, and give gifts to the villagers daily to increase their friendship points (FP).

You can boost their friendship points (FP) by giving them gifts they love (favorites), particularly on their birthdays. When villagers love the gifts, you'll see red hearts above their heads. If they simply like the gift, you'll notice yellow musical notes instead.

Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Gifts Guide: Birthdays, Likes and Dislikes

I didn't list what they "like" because it can be anything between the favorite and disliked gifts.
