Gifts (Dragon Age II)

In Dragon Age II, the gift system has been changed from the one in Dragon Age: Origins. Upon acquisition of a gift, an associated quest is entered into the journal; return to that companion's home to speak with them and complete the quest. Presenting a gift increases that companion's friendship.

Some companion items are armor upgrades rather than actual gifts. Upon acquiring an upgrade item, it is added to that companion's armor regardless of whether they are in your current party. These upgrades do not affect their friendship/rivalry status.
