On any given day, gifting a normal quality loved item always gives more points than gifting an iridium quality liked item to a given villager.<ref>See <samp>NPC::receiveGift</samp> in the game code.</ref> For liked or loved gifts, the equation is <code>Event Multiplier × Preference × Quality Multiplier</code>, where <samp>Event Multiplier</samp> is 1 (any day), 5 (the player's [[Feast of the Winter Star|Winter Star]] recipient), or 8 (their birthday), <samp>Preference</samp> is 80 (loved gifts) or 45 (liked gifts), and <samp>Quality Multiplier</samp> is 1, 1.1, 1.25, or 1.5.  (For neutral, disliked, or hated gifts, the equation is simply <code>Event Multiplier × Preference</code>.)  The highest friendship points possible from a single gift would be to gift someone an iridium-quality loved gift on their birthday, which would yield 960 points, just short of 4 hearts.
