TL;DR
Emily loves receiving gifts related to crystals and gems, with the Emerald being one of her favorites [2].
Emily's Preferences
Emily is known for her spiritual and psychic nature, which influences her preferences for gifts. She has a fondness for crystals and gems, making items like the Emerald a favorite gift [2:1]. Her reaction to receiving an Emerald can be quite unique, reflecting her deeper connection to such items
[2:2].
Gift Giving Strategy
When considering what gifts to give Emily, it's beneficial to focus on items that align with her interests in spirituality and aesthetics. Gems and crystals are safe choices, as they resonate well with her personality [2:3]. This strategy not only increases heart points but also ensures a positive interaction.
Comparison with Other Characters
Unlike some other characters who have specific tastes or dislikes, such as Penny's dislike for poppies [3:12] or Leah's unexpected love for driftwood
[3:2], Emily's preferences are more predictable due to her established interest in gems. This makes it easier for players to select gifts that will be appreciated.
General Gift Tips
In Stardew Valley, gifting is a key mechanic for building relationships. While some players opt for universally liked items like fruits or coffee [4:5], focusing on individual preferences can yield better results. For Emily, sticking to her favorites like gems ensures a smoother path to friendship or romance.
Elliott gives me a bottle of wine every New Year’s Eve and I always keep it to be sentimental. Conversely, Sebastian’s New Year’s beer goes right in the shipping bin 😅
Shane sends me stolen Joja food in the mail constantly but Elliott only gives me morning coffees and a wine every NYE.
Joja has been closed for 2 years now and Shane has apparently stolen and hoarded the entire pizza section of their defunct frozen food aisle just to feed me every few weeks out of what I can only assume is a deep, deep hatred of Elliot and an underhanded attempt to break up my marriage.
Leah also gives wine for NYE!
Shane gives you pizza and pepper poppers. And occasionally an egg. I usually eat them when I go into the mines.
Maru gives me batteries, something actually useful
Yep! Those are the only ones I know of, the other person I’ve married is Alex and he doesn’t give you a New Year gift.
I need to start doing this because I have a bad habit of just giving her gifts right back to her bc she gives you stuff she likes 😆 it’s a fierce strategy on her part
Don't tell my spouse but many times I gift them back 😂
Yup, I marry Shane... "Thanks for the Pepper Poppers / Pizza! Why don't you keep it safe for me."
I married Elliot once just for a change of pace and I couldn't do it. I had to divorce him and go back to my true wife 😭
I tried romancing Abigail in the current save but I just couldn't do this to my wife
This is me. Even if I'm trying to romance someone else, Haley always ends up having the most hearts so I'm just like hmm well it's way easier to just marry her again.... I can't resist my personal growth girlie 😭
I went to the community center in search of Clint on his birthday and found Emily admiring the community center loom instead. I gave her an emerald because I have extras and I know she likes crystals and gems... and yeah, I thought maybe she could give one to Clint, too.
I love this response. Emily knows she's admired.
Emily: "Oh! Heheh.... I know exactly why you gave me this emerald stone today. Very interesting..."
Farmer: "Yeah. Because you look like Sonic the Hedgehog."
Emily: "...What?"
Farmer: "Keep that chaos emerald safe, Blue!"
*Knuckles has entered the chat*
Obama chuckled
Just checked the conditions for this dialogue. It is not tied to the day, just the gift.
Is there a reason why she says that? I just recently got her response like this, and was confused lol
I thought for sure i had given her emeralds before.... if she say that on any day, I have no idea what it means.
She is spiritual/ psychic so is trying to draw deeper meaning from the gift
Clint would play Stardew Valley to feel he has some friends of his own.
Why do i feel called out
I don't like Clint... But that was because he was VERY rude to me once... I just made friends with him because of his perfection
Not the person you asked but one of his dialogue options are “don’t you have work to do?”
Clint 🤝 male loneliness
Which gift either in a loved or hated way shocked you the most. I’m doing a challenge where I’m trying to give every single villager every single item in the game because why tf not yes I’m insane. So on birthdays I get a stack of 34 of an item ik the birthday person will like. Example it was Penny’s birthday so I spent the day giving out 34 poppies…
WHY ARE POPPIES A UNIVERSALLY HATED GIFT WHAT?? Oh my god I was shocked like not ONE person (minus Penny) LIKES POPPIES WHY and I thought it would be a nice gesture to Kent cuz yk BUT NO HE SAID HE WAS TORTURED WITH POPPIES WHAT😭💔
When I first started, I picked up some driftwood off the ground and was carrying it around and came across Leah, and I accidentally gave her it when I was just trying to talk to her. I was expecting her to hate it, but nope, she loved it. Just some random wood off the ground, lol.
In that same vein I was shocked that she didn't like bread. I mean she came accross as a cottagecore foodie queen with the love of truffles and salad, wine and goat cheese.
But you don't like fresh homemade bread?!
I loved her for this because it was reminiscent of one of my favorite HM games (MFoMT), where one of the bachelors likes branches off the ground. Every day I’d grab one and think, “can’t forget to bring my big dummy boyfriend his daily stick”
I'm playing a modded game. Stardew Expanded makes Morris a giftable NPC.
Lewis asks me if I have any blueberries. I give them to him and they aren’t “loved” gifts. I’m disappointed I put any effort into finding that damn geezer
I always just give him a pepper if I’m going into town. He and Shane both love peppers and the plant produces tons of them over a season.
Milk was at least changed to a neutral gift in 1.6
I usually have one of the mods that change his loved gifts from beer to Joja Cola after his six hearts event. So I kinda always forget that that's not vanilla haha
For a guy who wastes my time reciting an ode to cave carrots every time I need bombs, you’d think they’d be one of his loved gifts.
This one was super upsetting for me because I thought I’d given her Amethyst and was so confused when she said she hated it 😭
Andy likes it. He was one of my first to 8 hearts because I'd dig a Joja cola out of his trash and give it to him while foraging
Oh, probably, and it makes sense she likes it since she's a forager too, I was just surprised because iirc the game classifies driftwood as trash, so I wasn't expecting anyone to actually like it as a gift.
Mine is beer! Besides the young ones and Sebastian, it seems to be an easy way to get heart points
Fiber.
It’s cheap and it makes everyone hate me.
Win/win
I made a coffee plantation and exploited the labour of junimos. They work in exchange for renting my huts. Then I used coffee to get all the villagers to like me.
Mayor luwis' purple underwear
Fruits are liked by everybody. If they are not available, mayo or coffee would do nicely with few exceptions.
I like the cooking aspect so I try to cook them their favorite meals. And gemstones because I love receiving gemstones irl.
A little late but I’ve been meaning to post in here what my husband gave me for Mother’s Day this year! We just started playing stardew valley together earlier this year 🩷 for “my greatest crop” he put our daughters name and birthday 😭 The loves are being home, cats, and tea The hates are birds, mushrooms, and broccoli
So so sweet!

Up to this point, it was the same dialogue: "It's not much, but I hope you like it." I never put any monetary value on the gifts I get, and I do enjoy every one of them even as I gift my secret their favorite.
But this all changed last night.
Jas walked up and told me she hoped I liked a gift she found on the beach. It was clay. I thought, "Oh, how cute". Then she said she's very happy I moved to Pelican Town.
Damn. DAMN! That's the single most surprising line I had never seen before and it's now my favorite. A little girl I often ignore as I watch her jump rope on my way of collecting hard wood or talking to a senile old man living alone in a tower and she tells me she's glad I moved to town.
That's the most valuable gift anyone could get. Puts the tea set to shame.
I took the clay she gave me and put it on a table in my house. I will cherish it every day.
I cannot believe I never experienced this until now.
Now I wait to see what Vincent will say. I haven't received a gift from him, either.
I put this in a spoiler because this dialogue isn't on the wiki I could see, so people who have played this game and never got a gift from Jas can be pleasantly surprised as well.
Well done, Eric. This game never ceases to surprise and amaze me. Now you know why I have over 4k hours invested in it.
I kept the rainbow shell she gave me during Winter Star, and I had the same reaction you did. I’m putting it in my house on Ginger Island.
On my current playthrough, Penny was my secret gift recipient. I gave her an emerald. Her mother, Pam was assigned to gift me and gave me....an emerald. WTF PAM
Edit: had the wrong name.
I bet she snatched it right out of Penny's hand to re-gift it to you!
She absolutely did!
I like how the townsfolk acknowledges our existence more in the new update in subtle little dialogues like these.
4000 hours
Mate, are you okay?
If somebody took two weeks of vacation a year, that is equivalent to the hours worked for a full two years of a 9 to 5 job. Making a bunch of assumptions, if somebody was earning a median salary for some places in the US, the after-tax take-home income could be $60k a year. So maybe $100k to $150k worth of time put in to a game that cost about $15 is quite the value ha ha.
I've easily put in a similarly disgusting amount of time in this game, but it isn't wasted if I've enjoyed all of it.
Dude I have well over 4k hours on this game and I work full-time, have a D&D group I see every week and am married with a dog and lots of friends. The game's been out for years.
Why did you marry a dog and a bunch of your friends?
People complain about the kids gifting clay, but I feel like they know your farmer is a crafty kind of person, and they're giving something they know you'll use. That said, you should be able to craft a tea set out of 1,000 clay.
IIRC clay drop rates got nerfed or something, so it's probably welcome now
YES thank you.
so I've gotten obsessed with Stardew Valley Expanded recently after playing Stardew through on my switch a few times over the years. Anyway! I like keeping track of villagers loved gifts, so I found this post with this spreadsheet and expanded on it.
I think I've gotten everything on there so far, though I do find myself updating it a lot. I thought I'd share for anyone to use! You can view it here, and then File > Make A Copy and then you can edit it however you'd like! I like to bold the gifts I've given. I've also made two formats, one has the characters listed horizontally, one has them vertically depending on personal preference. I've found that vertical is easier to navigate on my phone.
I should note the list definitely has spoilers.
Please let me know if you notice anything wrong or have any ideas for improvements!
Update 3/27/23: I found out that the SVE fish weren't listed for everyone so that's been updated, and Magnus also had some missing gifts, too.
Lance's list has a few errors. Magic Rock Candy is actually a hated item for him. Pearl and Prismatic Shard are likes, not loves.
All I know is that Sophia hates the kittenfish.
Yet loves the puppyfish.
Elliot's favourite gift being pomegranates makes me absolutely feral. I planted a tree just so that I have a permanent supply. Like yes, my free sea-foam spirit, for you I will play Hades, black dirt beneath my fingernails, the work of my hands calling red jewels from the living earth. By your command will I bind you to this underworld of soil, wrapped around with sweetness and with shells, until no boat can stay our willing descent. And joy of joys, my Persephone, you embrace it all, you do not restrict yourself to six mere seeds - no, together we will gorge on fruit until the juice runs red between our teeth. And surely summer will never come again to the Valley, for we have trapped it here, between the curtain of your hair and my calloused reaper's hands and the husks that glitter like spilt blood and rubies and the sunset over the sea...anyway, does anyone else feel a completely normal way about favourite gifts?
Not a loved gift but giving Sam the Joja Cola I JUST got out of his garbage can is really good
My favorite loved gift is probably Rasmodius's Void Essence, since I always have a ton of it, or Maru and Demetrius' Strawberries since I have some planted on my greenhouse.
It's not poetic, but I use all my void essences for meganombs so the wizard is sadly un friended for me. Didn't realise father and daughter love strawberries, thats precious!
Sadly I am a dumbass who forgot to give him a birthday gift on winter so it'll take a while to max out the Wizard for me.
>Didn't realise father and daughter love strawberries, thats precious!
Interestingly enough, it's not the only case of that happening, as both Marnie and Jas love Pink Cakes! Sebastian also has Pumpkin Soup as one of his favorites because of Robin, so that's nice imo
I mean, the Wizard also loves Super Cucumber. Much easier to build a stock of those if you're any good at fishing.
I like when I get one from fishing in the bridge while he’s sitting there with Penny.
He literally saw me fish this can out of the river, and hand it right to him. And he’s happy about it.
Wow, now I don't feel so weird.
"Spring 24.
Dear Diary,
I am both terrified and exhilarated. I had come back from the mines a bit early and dropped off some interesting stones for the barren collection at the museum. Gunther says they're a step in the right direction to restoring the displays and thanked me heartily. On my way home, I passed by the graveyard. There was Abigail.
I thought she must be remembering a loved one, but she just liked the ambience at night. I noticed he eyeing one of the pieces of quartz I found. I figured she liked them so I offered her one. She said, 'Hey, how'd you know I was hungry? This looks delicious!'
And then she ate it. I was reminded of hyenas who jaws could crack bones to devour the marrow inside. Here she was destroying the bones of the earth and savoring each bit that she ripped apart. I could do nothing but watch. It was like the beauty of a predator taking down its meal, both poetic and horrific.
I think I'm in love."
This really helps me make sense of something she says after you marry her, something like, “If you find something tasty in the mines, be sure to bring me a piece!” And I was like 🤷🏻♀️
Truly you are God's match for Elliot. I wish you love and prosperity in your union.
I just feed my sewer goblin rancid mayonnaise, seems to like it.
Thank you we are very happy and terrible together. May you have joy in your unholy bonds too, friend
Damn, I was gonna say something about how it's nice to have a coffee maker in the kitchen and give Harvey a fresh cup every morning but wow, now I'm just gonna slow clap and slink back outta here
Harvey is a very poetic soul deep down I believe.
Your random capitalization of things is cracking me up, it fits the vibes perfectly haha
Would be very cool for completionists, and would be a great incentive to find and craft some hard to find things.
I feel like an exclusive decoration tied to the character would be cool. Like juniper gives you a Newt or cauldron decoration. Dozy gives a golden bone etc.
Yesss great idea. Otherwise I'm just going to gift Ryis hardwood forever.
Send that idea to the devs!
Cardboard cutout of the bachelors and bachelorettes
I'm imagining them seeing a room full of their cardboard cutouts, along with their bath pictures, and candles everywhere like a shrine.
I would love their hairstyle or a similar piece of clothing for each bachelor - or even just a unique custom item. Like Maple gives you a cute beaded barette, Henrietta gives you an item for your farm animals to play on (like the seesaw), Valen gives you a stethescope, so on and so forth.
Emily asked for 200 fibers and when i gave her it she made me clothes and snuggled up to me.
Omg that’s adorable.
Man, these sisters are something else brah. They're both so sweet.
Never thought of haley to be nice
Same... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
