Gifting any character what they like is an easy way to raise their affection level, but to marry Gustafa, you’ll need to be a little patient. He won’t always accept multiple gifts in a row like other characters will, but the nice part is that Gustafa’s likes are still simple enough to grab. The easiest among them are:

- Milk & Milky Soup
Between the flowers, milk, and milky soup, I never felt like I was at risk of running out of gifts for Gustafa. You can give him multiple presents per day as long as they aren’t the same item, but you must spread your gifts throughout the day for him to accept them.
