Companion Gift & Affection Guide
Companion Gifts are the easiest way to raise your Companion's Affection levels. Rank 1 and 2 of these gifts can be purchased from a vendor in the Fleet Station but all other ranks must be gathered through Mission Crew Skills. If you don't have any Mission Crew Skills you can always just purchase these gifts from the Auction House. The rank 5 blue ones aren't that expensive and there are usually tons on the Auction House at all times.
Depending on what Companion you have determines what gift you will want to give to them. Not all Companions like the same gifts and not only that but there are three different levels in which they can give you Affection for the gift. Love being the highest affection gain per gift, Favorite being the second most and Like being the least. It will be cheapest and most effective to feed them gifts they Love rather than gifts they like or that are their favorite. However, not all Companions have gifts that they Love, some only have Favorites as their max gift (Qyzen Fess being a prime example). If you'd like to see a list of what gifts each Companion takes, follow the link below.

What Is The Best Way To Raise My Companion's Affection?
That is probably the most common question players ask and the answer is by starting out with Rank 5 gifts (Blue or Epic ones) and just feeding them the gifts until max. It will be more expensive by about 10k Credits per Companion but you will save HOURS of time by skipping the earlier gift ranks. Since you have to wait 30 seconds inbetween giving your Companion a gift starting out with a low rank gift will take entirely way too long. For this reason I am only going to chart out the Rank 5 Blue and Epic gifts for each Companion.
If you want to start out with lower rank gifts because you're raising a Mission Crew Skill then all you need to know is Rank 1 Gifts stop giving affection at 6k and Rank 2 gifts stop giving affection at 8k. The rest give affection up to max.
