One of the main aspects of Stardew Valley is building relationships with the NPCs, so we've compiled a handy villagers gift guide.
If you're looking to get yourself a partner further into the game then you'll need to make sure you're well-acquainted first. Gifts are a brilliant way to do this.
The catch is that each citizen has different preferences and degrees in which they like or dislike items. So we've compiled a table to make it far easier to figure out who likes what!
Villagers gift guide
The table below lists all the villagers you can give gifts to including their loves, likes, neutrals, dislikes, and hates. We've split them up into three groups, bachelorettes, bachelors, and all other villagers. They are also in alphabetical order to make it easier to find the NPC you're interested in!
