Awww that's a shame, I got eggs from Marnie and I thought it was very sweet. Was it from Robin or Leah?

There seems to be a correlation between your relationship with the person giving you the gift and what you receive.

If you have a 0 heart relationship with someone then, yeah. You're getting a rock.

Linus, at two hearts, gave me an emerald. What would he give me at ten hearts, a dozen iridium bars? I don't think there's much of a correlation between how much they like you and what you get. Looks rather random to me.

Unfortunately, any evidence provided is going to be anecdotal since the event is an entire year apart and there doesn't seem to be a way to control who gifts you from year to year, making it almost impossible to gather usable sample data. The only way we'll really know for sure is by peeking into the game files.

Anecdotally, I've noticed an increase in gift quality between 2 hearts, 5 hearts, and 10 hearts (wood, purple mushroom, gold bars). This is why I said there "seems" to be a correlation. You can take that for what you will.

Aaaaaw, I got a sweet tea set from Gus for Christmas :D
Also, I gifted my best bottle of wine to Pam (not sure it was a good idea...).

Maybe you'll get more luck next year ! :)

Well Pam gave me a Teapot set(furniture) for the secret gift exchange. I was 4 hearts with Pam at that time. So its probably as Tyril said, there should be a correlation of hearts to gifts recieved for that event

Yeah, I remember during Year 1 I was an eager beaver about getting them one of their most loved items. I remember it was some baked item that had me planning that full week in advance. Then the day came and in return I got...a jade. The person I got the jade from I was at 6-7 hearts.

Then to add insult to injury, I didn't even gain hearts from giving my recipient their most loved item. What a crock!

we need to think it's not a big village, they are isolated and the people give you the thing they are able to make,

it's not the value of the thing they count, it's the love they put in it they count, it's not like the day we have in the reality, where children receive hundred of gift and after 8 hours it's take her to develop the gift they say "it's all" or they ask a car, a plane or thing they cost more and more hundred of dollar...,

in a small village the gift are giving with true friendship, it's not represented a marketing day and to be loved we need to give the thing they cost the most, in a small village it's more to show the respect and keep the way of the sharing, and to show to the children even if the thing you give have not a big monatary value, it's can be the most valuable gift, because they have been made from a people to an other people, and not to make money with,

even if you receive an orange or an apple from a poor people, it's can have more value than a thing they have a big monetary value, because it's can ask more for this people to be able to give you this apple than the other they have just need to put out her wallet to buy a thing...

it's help to understand the true value of the partage, it's a value they have been lost in the reality, because more people when they receive a gift say "only that?" but they don't view the time and the work and the love behing this gift...

i receive cookies from the old lady in the game, and i have be happy to receive it..., because i know they have made it with her heart, and they have not go buying it in the market..., i hope ha ha ha

After reading these comments, I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed with my second christmas.
I got Sebastian some Sashimi and Clint gave me an Iridium bar for my first christmas.

I gave Marnie a Diamond and Elliot with whom I was... four or five stars, gave me a purple mushoom... Oh, gees, thanks for the poisonous mushroom... maybe it has some sort of poetic meaning behind it.... wants me dead for talking to Leah?

Quality of gift my vary a bit because of relationship status, I dunno, but the gift itself at least has a lot of RNG factor to it.

Evidence: I save scummed that festival because my secret gift person kept not liking my gift and I wanted to know what they would like. When I did so, the person who was gifting me gave a different gift every time I reloaded.

I don't recall what all of them were, but once it was a basic flower, once it was a picture to hang on the wall, another it was a fish, another it was some kind of cooked food.

I also had a time where reloading a gamesave repeatedly ended up with the result where one of those gifting letters that the scientist husband Demet. likes to send, the contents of the letter were different each time (gem one reload, shell another reload, and so on).
