From Nookipedia, the Animal Crossing wiki
(Redirected from Handheld items)

Not all items listed here are available in all games; several non-tool items were initially absent in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but many were gradually added in updates, with most of those available from Redd. Villagers can also be seen from time to time holding items, including (in New Horizons) some that the player cannot hold (often in relation to a hobby), such as snacks, drinks, and magnifying glasses.
