BTW, you can also give assessed fossils. I do it every day. The villagers love them and surprisingly they don't display them. Not even ones like amber etc. you don't have to wrap them and they always give gifts in return. I have received framed pictures for them.
I would advise against this if you really don't want to mess up villager's home, specifically those that have many table top and/or wall items on display. Even though they don't display them, they do take up a spot in their inventory, which having near full/at full capacity will make them remove table top items and wall items. I made the mistake of giving Julian Iron Wall Lamps, even though they don't display they still made him remove all his star garlands and the scale on his table.
The safest option is always fruit.

That hasn't happened to me and I give them fossils every single day. Once I get a framed picture I don't always give them wrapped fruit or pumpkins and none of what happened when you gave them wall lamps has happened.

I also don't give them full bunches all the time. You can get away with 5 non-native fruit or 8 pumpkins wrapped if you want to stretch your inventory. I gift all my villagers everyday with 2 characters, so sometimes I run low of fruit or pumpkins.
No clue if they fixed that in a recent patch, but 2 non-native fruit wrapped up pretty still works well without the potential risk if it hasn't. It's just considerate to gift other people's villagers with an item you are 100% certain will not effect them in any way. ^^;

I did a little research after reading your post and found one person who said they gifted a corprolite and it was displayed, but no one else. So take that with a grain of salt.
I also read people saying that data miners confirmed that daily gifted fossils do not take up inventory space. Again, grain of salt as I couldn't find much info on it.
That's why I experiment myself. Don't even ask about my wasp experiment where I thought they wouldn't display more than one and then villagers suddenly had wasps everywhere! lol. I'm still dealing with that.
I can tell you that I've been giving all my villagers fossils for some time and sometimes two a day and nothing weird has been happening. Even one villager I have had since august. So I do think fossils gifted daily do nothing but if I ever learn different I'll let you know.
I can also say that I always gift other peoples villagers wrapped fruit out of respect.

Oh, I forgot to say I give gifts of 2500 bells sale value or more because according to Fandom that's the total which guarantee's a gift in return.
Friendship
In the Animal Crossing series, friendship is a measurement of how friendly the player is with a villager. Friendship is measured in a scale where positive represents friendship and negative represents dislike. Having a high friendship level can result in the player obtaining a picture of that...

They're one of the few sites I more or less believe.
Do you always get gifts in return with only 2 wrapped fruit?

Yes, 2 wrapped non-native fruit will give you gifts in return. I've gotten many framed pictures that way. I never use the fandom wiki so I don't know how accurate it typically is, but this thread is always up to date with how the friendship mechanic works with each update.

That "how to" actually points to the same guide as on Fandom and in there it actually says what I said my experience was, that assessed fossils are safe as long as not birthday presents or mailed gifts.

Does anyone know if pumpkins give more friendship points than stacks of fruits?

Love this idea 
Bonbon's birthday is coming up, and she's such a vastly underrated villager (seriously- those eyes! that crooked smile!) I may throw one for her ☺ And people would be welcome to give her clothing, she's so fun to dress up!
...As long as I approve it first

The large fossils likely won't we displayed in the homes due to their size, but the smaller ones most likely can replace the fossils in their homes. I get that it was an interesting experiment but please play it safe when you're gifting to someone else's villagers! <3

I change these intermittently depending on what I have available, from my understanding from the friendship guides its based on the value of the fruit stack rather than the produce, I believe you'll need at least 3 pumpkins to take you to the 1000 Bell mark and only 2 fruit. I personally always wrap 3 fruit because its easier for me to wrap after I pick up 3 and saves me separating fruit, I'm just lazy. The wrapped fruit or pumpkins method is how I get villager photos and has not let me down. I will only occasionally gift furniture or clothing if it's something I want that villager to have.Does anyone know if pumpkins give more friendship points than stacks of fruits?

I cannot appreciate that you are guessing as to the games mechanics and then thinking you have to tell me how to act. If you're going to come from outside of a conversation and think you need to tell someone how to act, I personally think you should read all the thread first. If you had done that you would have seen the mechanics of the game are clearly laid out by data miners, they back up what I was seeing in my experimenting and that the person I was having the conversation with was concerned, felt they had to tell me how to act in that conversation and I answered them appropriately.

If I may make a suggestion, perhaps you could link this guide in the main post (not made by me, just one I have saved)? It's a few patches out of date, but the final page includes a list of items considered "safe" for gifting to villagers.

With all respect, I did read the entire thread first, and to me it seemed like you hadn't given up on the idea of gifting things other than fruit, which we know for sure to be safe. That concerned me, because I know many people would appreciate some certainty when letting others gift to their villager, and having people gift unexpected items would complicate that. (Side note: even if you wouldn't do it yourself, people could still read those posts and decide to start gifting other stuff. Not saying it has to be you.)
I wasn't guessing about the fossils, the 1x1 fossils are in the Display category, and villagers can show those items if you gift them on a birthday. I didn't include sources because this thread isn't intended to go in-depth about gameplay mechanics and I still don't want to make this too long, but that data is in the furniture guide too, here you go.

I am reluctant to include guides like the above because it's too in-depth for birthday parties and because datamines aren't always 100% accurate, and finally because mechanics can change (for example, shoes are listed as safe for daily just like fossils are, yet with the last update, villagers suddenly started displaying those shoes in their homes).
There was no attempt to attack you on this. I'm just trying to keep these parties simple enough for everyone to be able to participate without people first having to read walls of text to understand the mechanics and the risks of inviting people over. I hope you can get that.
