How long does it take to be able to give gifts to your villagers?

I reallyyyy want to give Audie a seashell wreath for her door, but I don't want to talk to her so much that she gets annoyed.

What's your strategy?

It takes about a day or 2 for you to have that option of gifting them something. At least in my case c:
Make sure they aren't sitting as well.

It's once per day. And don't worry, they never get annoyed from being gifted everyday.

Even when I talk to new villagers once per day, I find I can't gift until day 3 or 4. As someone already mentioned, make sure they aren't doing another activity or you won't get the option to gift.
Currently on Day 3 with Tia but she's sick today >_>

Give her medicine, leave her house, then go back in. At that point, you should be able to speak to her like normal.

Thanks for the tip!

Can confirm she doesn't want my gifts on Day 3

I don't recall exactly, but it feels like it was a bit less than a week before I could start gifting my newest villager.

I sent Whitney a Seashell wreath in a welcome letter the day she was moving in. The next afternoon it was on her door. By the third day I was able to give her a daily gift. It may have helped that Felicity (peppy villager) had me deliver Whitney a gift on the second day (apparently they got in an argument about who had better fashion/style ideas).
