The visitors to the town can’t be befriended in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, but the normal villagers have friendship levels. Depending on how close players are with the person, they might give a request (and reward players for it) or even start a romance. Players who are seeking to quickly increase Friendship Point with everyone in town can refer to this article for SoS Grand Bazaar gift guide.
This guide is a work in progress. Items marked with asterisks (*) indicate that they still require confirmation.
The gifts listed are tested based on how easy it is to make, get, or how common it is for people to like the item. Therefore, a villager’s loved and liked gifts are not limited to the ones listed here.

These numbers are then multiplied by the Quality multiplier and Freshness multiplier, if available. A 0.5-star item that’s still Perfectly Fresh will have a 1x multiplier for both multipliers. Meanwhile, as the item starts to lose freshness, the Freshness multiplier will keep lowering. For instance, a Should be Good Yet! Item will have a 0.9 Freshness multiplier.
For example, gifting Sophie a 1-star Herb Salad with Should be Good Yet! Freshness will increase her Friendship Point by 400 * 1.05 * 0.9 = 378.
Here are some other notable ways to increase Friendship Point earnings:
Wrap a gift
Wrap a gift with the person’s favorite color
Give a gift on the villager’s birthday
Combining a favorite gift, wrapping it in their favorite color, plus gifting it on the person’s birthday is the best way to boost a villager’s Friendship Point. Therefore, make sure to check the calendar and see whose birthday is coming soon so that you can wrap that villager’s gift during the Saturday bazaar.
