Moonlight Peaks gifts, likes and dislikes for all 23 romance characters, including Alina, Ridge, Evan, Noel and Death, plus four giftable NPCs.
Moonlight Peaks Gift Guide: Loved Gifts for All 23 Characters
Quick answer: the easiest strong gifts include any flower for Luna, Beer or a blue flower for Ridge, Black Rose for Alina, Purple Kthonia for Saga, Mana items for Noel, Black Tulip or Coffee for Evan, and trash or a hat for Death. The complete table below covers all 23 named romance characters and four additional giftable residents.
Jump to the most-searched answers: Alina · Ridge · Saga · Death · Evan · Noel
You can give each resident one gift per day. Loved gifts are the fastest route when you have them, but an easy liked item is often better than spending a rare Diamond or Golden Egg. Check the relationship screen after gifting: it remembers the last eight items and their reactions.
All 23 Romance Characters: Loved, Liked and Hated Gifts
The loved and liked categories below use the broadest post-launch table currently available, then cross-check high-demand answers against IGN, TheGamer, Nintendo Everything and TechRaptor. Where those sources disagree, the conflict is stated instead of silently choosing one answer.

Best Gifts for Alina
Alina's clearest loved theme is black flowers: Black Rose, Black Tulip, Black Azalea and Black Plumeria. Diamond and Golden Egg are also reported as loved, but black flowers are the practical answer. Blue, yellow and white flowers, Blood Orange and Blood Grapes are useful liked alternatives.
Black Rose is independently present in GameRant, IGN and Nintendo Everything, making it the strongest cross-source Alina answer. Do not give her trash, fish, wood, conches or dried herbs.
Best Gifts for Ridge
Give Ridge Beer, a blue flower or a flowerpot. Diamond and Golden Egg are also reported as loved. If those are unavailable, other flower colors, Juice, Jam and Wine are listed as liked.
The broad GameRant table contains an internal conflict for Wood, placing it in both neutral and hated categories. Until the in-game history resolves that conflict, use Beer or flowers and avoid spending Wood as a test gift.
Best Gifts for Saga
Saga loves Purple Kthonia, Blue Kthonia, Purple Moonlight Flower, Blue Moonlight Flower, Tea, Golden Egg and Diamond in the checked release guide. Ordinary flowers, drinks and hats are easier liked alternatives.
Purple Kthonia is the most strongly cross-checked answer because it appears in GameRant, IGN and Nintendo Everything. Avoid Honey and the usual trash/resource categories.
Best Gifts for Death
Death's unusual loved category is useful: give trash, any hat or Eggnog. Rusty Soda Cans, Plastic Rings and similar trash are specifically included by the broad release table, while Nintendo Everything separately points to Trash Bottles and Rusty Fish Cans.
Egg, bread, cheese, Beer and Juice are reported as liked. Do not use Cloth, Charcoal, Fertilizer or Coins.
Best Gifts for Evan
GameRant and Nintendo Everything support Black Tulip; GameRant also lists Diamond, Coffee and Flat Cap as loved. Other flowers and clothing are liked fallbacks.
IGN's work-in-progress table instead lists Purple Tulip and Red Azalea. Because the flower colors conflict, Coffee is the simplest non-flower test, or use the in-game history before repeating a scarce bloom.
Best Gifts for Noel
The best-supported Noel gifts are Mana Coffee, Mana Wine, Mana Potion, Mana Chocolate, Mana Moon Cupcake, Diamond and Golden Egg. Any fish is a cheaper liked fallback.
Do not assume a flower is universally safe. GameRant marks flowers as hated, TheGamer reports Purple Tulip and Pink Azalea as disliked, while Nintendo Everything separately reports Violets as liked. Treat Violets as a source conflict until your relationship history shows the reaction in the current build.
Four More Giftable Residents
These residents are useful for friendship or collection play, but they are not part of the 23-character romance table above.
| Resident | Loved gifts reported by GameRant | Easier option / warning |
|---|---|---|
| Brook | White Rose or Top Hat | Dairy, Juice and other hats are liked; most raw resources are hated |
| Moon Goddess | Blue/Purple Moonlight Flower, Mana Moon Cupcake, Moon Milkshake, Moonfruit, Mana Moon Jam, Diamond or Golden Egg | Other flowers, Moon Crystal, Juice, hats and Coffee are liked |
| Pumpkin Head | Pumpkin or Pumpkin Spice Latte | Bread, Wrapped Candy, Lollipop or Beer; avoid Blood Tomato and wine |
| Skull Girl | Flowers, critters or Houseplants | Food and clothing are liked; trash, ore and conches are hated |
Best Gifts for Pumpkin Head
Pumpkin Head is the non-dateable host of the Evernight Festival and appears during Autumn; the current official Wiki lists his birthday as Autumn 10. Give him a Pumpkin or Pumpkin Spice Latte for a loved reaction. Bread, Wrapped Candy, Lollipop, and Beer are liked fallbacks.
Avoid Blood Tomato, Red Wine, White Wine, Blue Swallow, Fried Egg, Pink Plumeria, Raspberry Cupcake, and Skully. The older version of this guide incorrectly grouped Honey and broad pumpkin foods under his loved gifts; the current official character table does not support that shortcut.
How to Confirm a Gift in Your Game
- Give the resident one item.
- Open the relationship screen.
- Check the reaction stored in the last-eight-gifts history.
- Repeat confirmed easy items instead of spending rare Diamonds or Golden Eggs.
- Recheck after a game patch when two public guides disagree.
The game uses a heart for loved gifts and a star for liked gifts. A current in-game capture is stronger evidence than a copied community list, especially for Noel, Evan, Aras, Elvira and Ludo, where post-launch tables disagree.
