So I'm trying to get some bonus points with Mako, because I don't always make good quest choices. I have underworld trading, so I send her off on some missions to get some gifts I can give her (sounds wierd). She only ever comes back with types of stuff that she likes or is indifferent to. Never anything that is listed as favorite or loves.

So here's my questions. Are there certian mission skills that return different types of crew gifts? Do the individual missions have certain gifts as rewards? Is there some mechanic in place where a companion won't return their own favorite? Am i just having a run of bad luck?

Or is my companion keeping the good stuff for herself?
