When you first dive intoHello Kitty Island Adventure, it’s hard to miss the big pink flowers that litter the map. They’re permanently closed, at least to start with, and you can’t seem to do anything with them, but they do eventually have a very important role to play.
These closed pink buds are called Gift Flowers. When you water a Gift Flower, it will open up and give you an otherwise hard-to-get item that can be used as a gift for one of the characters. Before you reach a point when you’re able to make three-heart gifts yourself, this method to get them can be extremely useful.
How do Gift Flowers work in Hello Kitty Island Adventure?
After you’veunlocked the Watering Canby completing My Melody’s level 14 quest, “Flower Power,” you can start exploring Friendship Island with the new ability to open up these pink buds. Because the Watering Can is one of the tools that’s always active, all you need to do is walk up to the Gift Flower and press the button in the bottom right of your screen.
When you water a Gift Flower, an item orcooking recipewill pop out, which you’ll need to manually pick up just as you would any other resource. If you already have the recipe given by the flower, you will receive a pre-made version of that recipe instead.
Gift Flowers are only ever found on the land, so there’s no point looking for them while you’re adventuring around Rainbow Reef, and Gift Flowers do not respawn once you’ve watered them. These are a one-time helping hand, but you will at least end up with some pretty flowers decorating the place once you’ve watered them.
