Grinding out bond levels with party members in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth can be rewarding thanks to the backstory lore dump and the powerful tag team skills that players can acquire. However, the steps taken to raise bond levels may take quite a while, especially if the players hold off on gifts.
While some of the gifts might cost a bit, they are one of the fastest ways to raise bond levels significantly. Offering gifts tailored to the specific interests of the party members will grant the highest gains to bond level, so knowing the location of these special gift items will come in very handy.

How Gifts Work?
Players can increase bond levels with party members in a variety of ways. Partaking in mini-games like karaoke, darts and cabaret clubs or triggering special meal conversations called Table Talk are just a few ways. Then there is a new mechanic, Bond Bingo, that lets players get to know more about the interests of their party members. This new system allows Ichiban to quickly rack up points towards bond level for interacting with Walk and Talk speech bubbles throughout the map to complete a bingo for the new party members.
One of the more reliable ways to earn party members’ loyalty and trust is by gifting them special items that align closely with their interests and hobbies. Gifts can be offered in two different ways: Gift-Giving opportunities, where a gift prompt appears when strolling through certain stores, or finding time at the Survive or Revolve bars to offer custom gifts to the party members.
In both cases, players will increase the bond level meter most when catering to the party members’ personalities and offering them a fitting gift. While some party members’ personalities are easy to decipher, others may not be so transparent about their interests. Also, noteworthy is the fact that some of these special gifts will be requested by other non-party NPCs as well, so it's always good to know the locations where these items can be purchased.

This will open up a small window showing a few items under the Recommended heading, that may serve as potential gifts for the party members.
