One of the main parts of Hello Kitty Island Adventure is deepening your connections and friendships with the many Sanrio characters who inhabit Friendship Island alongside you. These friendships unlock quests and reward rare resources, but what happens when you become Best Friends?

Becoming Best Friends with a character happens when you reach maximum friendship with them. This could be at level 15, 20, or 25, depending on the character. Once you reach this point, they’ll stop giving you their basic resource return gifts and start giving Character Gift Boxes instead. 

If you’re working your way up to Best Friends with any of the characters, we have a useful gift guide that can take you through the entire process.

What are Character Gift Boxes in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Character Gift Boxes are, essentially, a lucky dip with rewards on offer specific to each character. While it is entirely possible that you could get their usual resource offering, you could potentially get a rare item instead. 

There are three different sizes of Gift Boxes for each character. Which box you’ll be given directly corresponds to how many hearts the gift you gave has: 

  • Small – Any one-heart gift
  • Medium – Any two-heart gift
  • Regular – Any three-heart gift

Once you receive a Character Gift Box of any size, it must be opened from within your inventory before you receive the rewards inside. 

How to get Character Hats in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

One of the main reasons to keep gifting characters three heart gifts after they’ve become your Best Friend is to get the individual Character Collectors Hats. The only way to get these is through Regular-sized Character Gift Boxes. 

It’s entirely down to chance and RNG whether you get a Character Hat from any of the Regular Gift Boxes, but there is a failsafe in place. If you get unlucky and open 100 Character Boxes from a single character without receiving their hat, you’re guaranteed to get it in the 101st box.

Each larger box will always have a chance to yield the items from the smaller version of it. For example, a Small Hello Kitty Gift Box can only possibly reward Tofu or Sand Dollars, the Medium adds three different Dyes into the mix, while the Regular size box only adds the Collector’s Hat. 

As such, I’m only going to note items that are unique to the larger-sized Gift Boxes. Remember that a Regular Gift Box can possibly reward items included in the Small Gift Box column.
