Gifts to a character should add affection, but not by spamming the same present

In a dating story the player soon finds that giving the same flower twenty times maxes out a friendship in one afternoon. Here is how to make repeats count for less, put a ceiling on each day, and let tomorrow start fresh.

Why this works

A bond means something only if it takes time and variety. Making a repeated present worth less each time, and fixing a ceiling for each day, turns gifts from a button to hammer into a choice about what this person would like, and spreads progress over several days.

When not to use it

Do not use it in a short story with only a few scenes, or when the point is a grand gesture, such as one rare gift that should change everything. Then let a single meaningful gift count in full.
