How gifting works in Persona 5: The Phantom X

Gifting in Persona 5: The Phantom X is all about boosting Synergy with your confidants. Each character has their own “Likes” list in the Synergy menu, making it easy to check what they’ll appreciate most. First-time gifts give a massive bonus, so try to hand over each unique item at least once! Remember: you can’t give gifts during yellow “Form Bonds” hangouts, and always check if your Synergy will carry over before handing out those pricier presents.
