Tuxedosam is one of Hello Kitty’s friends that you’ll meet in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Becoming closer friends with him will unlock furniture/clothing-related gameplay features. If you’re setting up cabins for Visitors, then one of Tuxedosam’s Companion Abilities will come in handy. Tuxedsam accepts gifts from three separate categories, but if you’re trying to level him up as soon as possible in Island Adventure, you’ll want to give him gifts with a 2-heart or 3-heart rating.

Tuxedosam Gift Guide
What Can You Give Tuxedosam?
Tuxedosam likes gifts with the Tropical, Fancy, and Cloth tags. You can check the tags of items by selecting the i/info icon (+ button on Nintendo Switch) that appears when you hover over a gift in the menu. As you explore the island and raise friendship with the characters, you’ll begin unlocking more crafting plans. With these, you can create higher-quality (3-heart) gifts.
If you’re just starting Island Adventure, you won’t have access to the crafting plans for Tuxedosam’s 2-heart and 3-heart gifts. As such, you should give him items that you find in Seaside Resort, like Pineapple and Thread.
The best gifts to give Tuxedosam are the Designer Island Doll, Tropical Gift, Beignets with Pineapple Dip, and Tropical Material. The Beignets recipe you can unlock by cooking with the required ingredients. However, you’ll need the crafting plans for the other three. Here’s how to get them:
- Designer Island Doll: Reach level 16 with My Melody.
- Tropical Gift: Loot from the chest on Hopscotch Island (the same Island with the Golden Apple Slice).
- Tropical Material: Loot from the chest near the path with the Gudetama board.
The Tropical Material is a good “beginner” gift to give to Tuxedosam until you unlock the Designer Island Doll or the Rainbow Reef area. Rainbow Reef has materials that you need to craft the Gift Box, which is used to make the Tropical Gift.
Below is a chart detailing how to craft the best gifts for Tuxedosam:
