Giving Gifts to a Character

In Xenoblade Chronicles, you can select collectables from your inventory to be given as gifts to other party members. However, depending on which character receives the gift, the amount of affinity gained or lost will vary. In order to use your collectables efficiently, you should make sure to present each item to the character who can be used to gain the most affinity points. The best and worst gifts to give each character are shown from the next section.
