How to use: Filter by villager or item text. Prefer birthday gifts over daily spam. For habits and anti-FOMO, read Gifting basics first.
Loved gifts listed are common examples for modern Stardew (1.6-era). Preferences can include more items than we show. If unsure, talk only.

No villagers match. Try a shorter name, a different gift word, or set focus to “All.”
| Villager | Loved gift examples | Year 1 tip |
|---|---|---|
| Abigail | Amethyst, Chocolate Cake, Spicy Eel, Pumpkin, Pufferfish | Amethyst from early mines/geodes is a strong Year 1 birthday option when you find one. |
| Alex | Complete Breakfast, Salmon Dinner | Talk on gridball days; cooking loves often wait until you have a kitchen. |
| Caroline | Summer Spangle, Fish Taco, Green Tea | Easy to greet near Pierre’s on seed runs—talk first. |
| Clint | Most gems, Omni Geode, Gold/Iron Bars | Geode trips already take you to his shop—gift a spare gem on birthday mail. |
| Demetrius | Strawberry, Ice Cream, Bean Hotpot, Rice Pudding | Strawberry festival leftovers (if you grow them) can wait in a gift chest. |
| Elliott | Lobster, Crab Cakes, Duck Feather, Pomegranate, Tom Kha Soup | Beach path chats are free; seafood loves are Mid+ Year 1 for many players. |
| Emily | Gems, Wool, Cloth, Survival Burger | Saloon evenings make talk easy; gems overlap with Clint targets. |

| Gus | Fish Taco, Escargot, Orange, Diamond, Tropical Curry | Saloon owner—talk after chores; save fancy dishes for birthdays. |
| Haley | Coconut, Pink Cake, Sunflower, Fruit Salad | Do not stress Flower Dance hearts in Year 1—talk is enough. |
| Harvey | Coffee, Pickles, Wine, Super Meal, Truffle Oil | Clinic visits are natural talk moments; coffee is a later convenience. |

| Jodi | Diamond, Pancakes, Rhubarb Pie, Chocolate Cake, Vegetable Medley | Often outside near town center on errand days—easy talk target. |
| Leah | Salad, Goat Cheese, Wine, Truffle, Vegetable Medley | Forest walks already pass her cabin—talk without a forced gift route. |

| Linus | Yam, Coconut, Cactus Fruit, Blueberry Tart, Dish o’ The Sea | Mountain forage route already finds him—be kind; gifts optional. |
| Marnie | Diamond, Farmer’s Lunch, Pink Cake, Pumpkin Pie | Ranch visits for hay/animals—talk on the same trip. |

| Penny | Poppy, Melon, Diamond, Emerald, Roots Platter, Tom Kha Soup | Often near town trailer/paths—talk on library/museum days. |
| Pierre | Fried Calamari (and limited other loves) | You already see him for seeds—daily talk beats rare cooked loves early. |
| Robin | Peach, Goat Cheese, Spaghetti | Carpenter trips are free social time; gift when fruit/cheese appear later. |
| Sam | Pizza, Maple Bar, Cactus Fruit, Tigerseye | Town skateboard days—talk; pizza loves wait on cooking/Saloon buys. |
| Sebastian | Frozen Tear, Obsidian, Sashimi, Void Egg, Pumpkin Soup | Frozen Tears from early mines pair well with birthday prep. |
| Shane | Hot Pepper, Pepper Poppers, Pizza, Beer | Often at ranch/Saloon; Hot Pepper is Summer—Spring = talk. |

| Willy | Catfish, Diamond, Mead, Octopus, Sea Cucumber, Sturgeon | Dock fishing days already put you next to him—talk after casts. |
| Wizard | Purple Mushroom, Solar Essence, Void Essence, Super Cucumber | Tower visits are Mid Spring+ for many saves; not a day-one gift route. |
How we use this on our save
- Check mail / calendar for birthdays.
- Search that villager here and see if we already have a loved example in the gift chest.
- If not, talk only—do not force a disliked forage.
- Return to watering and money loops; social is a side quest in Year 1.
FAQ
Is this every loved gift in the game?
No. It is a Year 1 lookup subset with common loved examples. Check the Collections / villager taste UI and in-game reactions for the full picture.
Why isn’t every villager listed?
We prioritized town NPCs you meet while running Year 1 errands. More rows can be added later without turning this into a wiki mirror.
Should I gift every day?
Usually no. See Gifting basics—birthday-first beats daily spam.
