Who doesn't love a gift now and then? The best way to strengthen your relationships with the characters in Stardew Valley is by giving them presents. Maximizing your friendship levels with each Pelican Town resident gives you secret rewards, new recipes, and even access to blue Chickens! However, you can't just give them any old junk from your inventory - all characters have their own individual preferences, likes, and dislikes.

Going in alphabetical order, here is the ultimate gift guide for all villagers in Stardew Valley, their preferred gifts, and even their birthday to maximize your friendship gains. We have yet to include any neutral gift, as they only give 1/2 friendships hearts and are not worth gifting.

  • Fruit Tree Fruit (Apple, Apricot, Cherry, Orange, Peach, Pomegranate)

As expected, Pelican Town's resident Blacksmith loves all things shiny. To impress Clint, you'd better head down into the town's mines and get to work.

Clint is an easy villager to impress, and you should be able to collect a variety of gemstones on your excursions in the mines. Getting him a birthday present on Winter 26 is a surefire way to his heart.

Like Clint, the Dwarf is a fan of Gemstones and things that are picked up in the Mines, making it easy to befriend him once you can talk to him. The Dwarf's birthday is on Summer 22.

Emily is another Stardew Valley character that adores Gemstones from the mines, which are easily obtainable. Her home also houses the Spinning Wheel, which is ironic considering her favorite things are Cloth and Wool.
