Villager Friendship

Villagers were previously unable to accept Bells as gifts from players. However, villagers can now accept them if wrapped in a Lucky Red Envelope or a Bokjumeoni Lucky Pouch.

Though there are quicker ways to raise friendship, you'll be able to keep a villager's default clothing and furniture by giving them Lucky Money or Sebaetdon.
