Fire Emblem: Three Houses Gift Guide: Best Gifts & Flowers for each Character

One new element to Fire Emblem: Three Houses is that of Gifts, the ability to give your allies a present outside of battle. There are many ways to raise your Support Level with your class and other characters, but one of the most reliable methods is to simply give characters gifts they love.

While you can give any Gift to (almost) any character, each character will have a preference for the type of Gifts they like. Sometimes a Gift will be useless and sometimes gain you nothing at all, sometimes a small Support increase (shown by an icon with a single up-arrow), and sometimes large Support increase (shown by an icon with two up-arrows).

This is similar to how the advice box and lost items or certain dialogue choices can also boost your support - these features all work together, including gifts, to build a relationship with any given character. This page, however, is all about gifting, and covers:

• How Gifts work in Fire Emblem: Three Houses
• Complete Gift Item List 
• Best Gifts for each Character
• Flowers and Flowers as Gifts

Fire Emblem Three Houses Gifts: what to give to each character

Gifts can be obtained either through Quests, or they can eventually be purchased. Starting in the 9th Month of the Fodlan Calendar, two shops will open up that sell Gifts to Byleth. You can buy one of each type of Gift, once-per-month. A third shop opens up with more Gift items after the timeskip.

Below we show which characters like which Gifts the most, that is, the Gifts that will give them a large Support bonus (two up-arrows). We show this in two different ways:

1. By Gift Item. Use this list if you have a Gift in your inventory and you want to know who to use it on most effectively.
2. By Character. Use this list if there is a character you want to gain Support with and you need to know which Gift items to use.

Finally, there are Flowers. Flowers are a type of Gift item and work exactly the same way, except these can never be purchased. Instead, Flowers are gained by planting them at the monastery greenhouse, and then subsequentially harvesting them the next week. As Flowers are a bit more random, we list these separately from the other Gift items.

Note: There are some characters you cannot give Gifts to. This includes the House Leaders of the other classes, Hubert/Dedue, and some other storyline or minor characters. This system is also replicated in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, but we've got a separate Three Hopes gift guide.
