Destiny 2 A Small Gift cover

Destiny 2’s A Small Gift is a consumable item that drops when doing activities in the Dreaming City in Destiny 2. Its description doesn’t tell much as to what it is used for aside from having a hint of mint. However, this particular item can actually be given to some cats hidden across the Dreaming City in exchange for some local gifts.

In this guide, we will talk about where to get these Small Gifts and show the locations of the cats that they can be given to.

What is A Small Gift in Destiny 2?

A Small Gift is a consumable loot drop that can be acquired from doing different kinds of activities in the Dreaming City region, that includes clearing Lost Sectors or doing Patrols, to name a few. These Small Gifts can be considered as a sort of catnip in the Destiny 2 universe which you can give to small cat statues that are hidden across different locations in Dreaming City.

Only one Small Gift can be acquired per character per week and there are only 9 cats to find. Once a Small Gift is given to a cat statue, you will be rewarded with a Legendary weapon or a piece of armor that comes from the Dreaming City loot pool.

On the other side is the second cat hiding in the bush.
