Have you given a wrong gift to a villager?

[CrankyCupcake]

Accidentally clicked on the wrong item and gave Raymond a customization kit! Then I saw there was special dialogue for it.

Have you ever clicked on the wrong item to give to any of your villagers? Was there special dialogue? Were there consequences?

I gave Merengue a whole mermaid bed yesterday on accident. She was shocked, I regret not capturing her reaction. I had meant to give her a new dress! I'm still waiting for her to be home to see if she replaced her bed or not. I'd feel better about the mistake if she actually used it!

I've also given the wrong colored items to villagers as well. Thankfully I've never seen them appear in their homes or anything!

I've given villagers the wrong clothing and accidentally gifted them furniture (RIP originality) before. I tend to stick to gifting them wrapped foreign fruits now because it's no-risk and I quite like most of my villagers' default clothing.

In the future, once I get their photos, I'll probably go to Harv's island some more to see what clothing looks good on each one.

How did u gift him that at nooks?

Talked to him. I had just bought customization kits to use and they were right next to the stack of fruit I usually give to all my islanders, I clicked too fast and so Raymond got a kit.

 

[Sharksheep]

Yes. I shut off my game because it did not suit the villager at all. I always make sure to wrap it right before I give it them so I don't accident gift the wrong item if it's not fruits.

I do it every so often, and I just force close the game. I don't want my precious Diana displaying a fossil in her house!

I accidentally gave Merry a black bikers helmet meant for Antonio... yikes

He says he loved it in the second pic but his facial expression makes it seem like he is being sarcastic XD I dont recall giving a villager something by mistake since i try to be extra careful but even when i happened to change my mind about a gift i gave someone i closed the game before it auto saved.

 

[Bcat]

Yeah I gave Mira the wrong color dress and it clashes with everything about her. She wears it constantly to remind me of my shortcomings

 

[rawstberry]

yeah, happaned to me few times before, especially at the beginning of the game. i gifted sherb peach dress by an accident. he looked very cute though. ☺ on the other hand i also mistakenly gifted audie a kimono and it looks weirdly stretched on her, i regret not closing the game before autosave.

 

[FaerieRose]

I accidentally gave Fauna a cooler instead of a white mini-fridge. Not too big of a deal, since she liked it, and it doesn't clash with how I'm redecorating her house.

How did u gift him that at nooks?

Sometimes villagers will be at Nook's Cranny, Able Sisters, or the Museum.

@OP: I gave Apple a candle once. I should have just reset the game. I wasn't happy about giving her that gift. Fortunately, it didn't look out of place at her house.

 

[BigBadButterfree]

One time I made Tucker a fossil doorplate with one of my fossils cuz I thought it'd look perfect for him.

When I went to give him the gift my brain clicked on the other fossil in my inventory

 

[SlipStitch626]

Accidentally selected a 99k money bag and the villager refused to be gifted currency. Luckily I was still able to gift them something else.

I just accidentally gave Raymond a fossil and I didn't think to force quit the game ... please Raymond, please, please don't display the fossil in your house! Oh, the hours I spent looking for you...

To answer the question -- he mentioned something about liking old things. Haha

 

[dizzy bone]

Yes, I’ve given the wrong gift because of my joycons drifting I wanted to give Tabby a cute dress but I accidentally gave her a hoodie that I received from a villager. I didn’t know how it looked like at the time because I didn’t try it on yet. Thankfully it suit her so I let her keep it!!

 

[itsmxuse]

I had done it the other day, went to give my villagers matching raincoats in their favourite colours and accidentally gave Chèvre the purple on that was meant for Kitt and I hate it every time I see her wear it

From my experience, they NEVER display fossils. Even if you want them too

And, fortunately, I have yet to slip up that I can recall. Even with wrapped gifts, I'm more likely to unwrap something to be 100% sure it's the right gift then to risk giving the wrong one!
