What scene does Hamlet give Ophelia gifts in Shakespeare's play Hamlet?

There's no scene where Hamlet gives Ophelia gifts.
We understand that he has, because of the 'Nunnery Scene,' in Act 3, Scene 1, where Ophelia returns Hamlet's gifts. In that scene, she says "My lord, I have remembrances of yours, That I have longed long to redeliver; I pray you, now receive them."
By the way, "remembrances" are keepsakes, sentimental gifts, like a flower for example.

He has made "tenders of his affection" which he has supported with "almost all the holy vows of heaven". And at her funeral he himself says "I loved Ophelia; forty thousand brothers could not with all their quantity of love make up my sum." All of this adds up to "Hamlet says he loves Ophelia." However, if we were preparing this play for performance, we would have to ask ourselves whether Hamlet is telling the truth when he says all these things. Polonius says he is saying them to Ophelia just to get into her pants, and it is possible that his outburst at the funeral is simply a reaction to Laertes's bombast. He certainly doesn't show much respect for Ophelia by jumping into her grave and Wrestling with Laertes over her dead body. Nor is his treatment of her in the "Nunnery Scene" the behaviour of a lover, as Claudius notes.

In Act 3 Scene 1 she returns his gifts to him, saying that "their perfume [is] lost". She's telling him it is all over between them. She does not confess that she loves him, at least not onstage.

In Act 3 Scene 1, Hamlet meets Ophelia in a corridor and they have an awkward conversation in which Hamlet is trying to hint to Ophelia that he is too dangerous to be around, and Ophelia is trying to hint to Hamlet that they are being spied on. When Hamlet finally gets it that Polonius is spying he gets very angry with Ophelia for being his accomplice.

We do hear Polonius read out a love letter he had written to Ophelia in II, 2 in which he twice says he loves her: "Doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love." and "But that I love thee best, oh most best, believe it." However, we only see them speak face to face once, in Act III Scene 1, and Hamlet never tells her that he loves her. At her funeral he screams out. "I LOVED OPHELIA!" but it is of course too late by then.

What does Polonius suggest after Hamlet and Ophelia see one another in act two scene two?
In Act 3 scene 1 of Hamlet (the "nunnery" scene), Claudius and Polonius eavesdrop on the conversation between Hamlet and Ophelia. Well, it's sort of eavesdropping since Ophelia knows they are there and if Hamlet does not know at the beginning of the conversation, he figures it out pretty quickly.
Why do you think Hamlet seems so angry with Ophelia?
In Act 3, Scene 1, Claudius and Polonius try to get Hamlet to reveal his private thoughts by setting up a meeting with his erstwhile girlfriend Ophelia. When Hamlet arrives, he probably knows full well that Claudius is lurking somewhere around but does not appear to be sure that Ophelia is party to the trap. Eventually, however, he figures out that Ophelia knows all about it and it makes him very angry.
Why does hamlet visit ophelia in scene 1?
When you say, "the former Hamlet" you mean the late King Hamlet, right? She remembers him briefly in the play-within-a-play scene ("Nay, it is twice two months, my lord.") in which Hamlet uses her as a straight man to set up his cutting remarks to his mother, "What? Two months dead and not forgotten already?"
Does Ophelia tell her father something about Hamlet?
Yes, she tells him (somewhat reluctantly) that Hamlet has "made tenders of his affection" to her in Act 1 Scene 3. In Act 2 scene 1 she tells him that Hamlet has appeared in her bedroom half undressed and has stared at her very intently in a weird way.
What do Laertes and Polonius advise Ophelia to do?
In Act 1 Scene 3 of Hamlet, both Laertes and Polonius advice Ophelia to stop seeing Hamlet in a romantic way. Laertes, as Ophelia's brother, gives the explanation that Hamlet, as heir to the throne of Denmark, must ultimately do what benefits the country. That means that though he may love Ophelia now, he will never be able to marry her because she is not of royal blood so it would not reflect well on the country, and because Denmark must come first, their relationship is doomed to end. Laertes says that Hamlet's affections for Ophelia are essentially flirtation and are going nowhere.Polonius, Ophelia's father, gives the same advice for a different reason. He basically says that Hamlet is a young guy and offers her affection because he wants her, not because he loves her. He advises that Ophelia value herself more highly than Hamlet will, and says she should stop seeing him because what she thinks is love is simply lust.Stay away from Hamlet. Do not be childish. This is not love between you and Hamlet, it is called lust.
