More about this tool

Taste ranks

Love, like, dislike, and hate come from game taste data. Universal gifts still follow game rules when a villager overrides them.

Birthday gifts double friendship in-game. Pair this guide with Villagers for birthday dates and Save & Progress for daily dispatch when a save is uploaded.

  • Search by villager or reverse-search by item.
  • Loved gifts highlighted for romance and friendship routes.
  • Extract-backed tastes — not crowd-sourced rumor sheets.

Common questions

What gifts does each villager love in Stardew Valley?
Open this Gift guide, pick a villager, and read the Love row from the extract taste table. Universal loves still apply unless that villager overrides them.
Who loves Amethyst / Prismatic Shard / Chocolate Cake?
Switch to item mode and search the item name. The guide lists every villager who loves, likes, dislikes, or hates that gift.
Are birthday gifts double friendship?
Yes in-game. Use Villagers for birthdays and Save & Progress for daily dispatch when a save is uploaded.
What should I gift in year one?
Prioritize easy loved gifts you can forage or buy early, and save Prismatic Shards for late romance targets. See Villager gift strategy for a year-one plan.
