TL;DR Harvey loves coffee, pickled spring onions, wine, and other simple gifts like foraged items.
Loved Gifts
Harvey is known for his appreciation of coffee, which is a straightforward gift that players can easily provide [5:5]. Coffee is a staple item in Stardew Valley and can be made from coffee beans or purchased from the Saloon. Another loved gift is pickled spring onions, which can be found during Spring in Cindersap Forest and are an economical option
[5:1].
Alternative Gift Options
Aside from coffee and pickled spring onions, Harvey also enjoys wine [5:9], which aligns with the common stereotype of healthcare workers enjoying wine as a way to unwind. Players can make wine using a keg and any fruit, making it a versatile option if they have a surplus of produce.
Using Foraged Items
For those who prefer not to spend money on gifts, foraging offers a viable alternative. Items such as leeks, horseradish, and other vegetables can be pickled and given to Harvey [5:6]. This approach allows players to utilize resources found in nature, making it both cost-effective and convenient.
Community Resources
The Stardew Valley Wiki is an invaluable resource for players looking to optimize their gift-giving strategy. It provides detailed information on each character's preferences and can help players track what gifts have been successful in the past [5:2]. Additionally, interacting with characters and checking their profiles in the game menu can reveal their favorite items, aiding in personalizing gift choices
[5:3].
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.
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.
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
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 🤷🏻♀️
Your random capitalization of things is cracking me up, it fits the vibes perfectly haha
Fiber. I always need fiber. It's ridiculous how much fiber I need.
More realistically, coffee.
Cherry pie, fire opal, oak resin, galaxy soul, coal
Coffee, Triple Shot Espresso, Complete Breakfast, and Melon
Gold
Loves: Pepper Poppers, Cheese, Goat Cheese, Void Egg, and Pineapples. Likes: Any alcohol, Cheesey Cauliflower, Flowers, and Strawberries.
In other words, what would your "loved" gifts be? I'm new to the sub so I'm not sure if this has been asked before but I was talking about it with my favorite co-play partner and I think it tells you a lot about someone as a person. Personally, my favorite gifts would be: duck feathers, pink cake, cherries, wine and quartz. :)
I would have zero unique loved items so I can be even quirkier than Pierre
Or just have it be golden eggs.
I think I would love hats (I know they arent giftable but...), furniture (I know this isnt giftable either but who cares) and strawberries.
i agree! anything you can equip like weapons and rings would make great gifts too
Honey. I eat it daily IRL, and it would make me so happy if someone just gave it to me as a gift 🥺
Hey it's me your friend who loves cute jars of honey!
My friends once baked a brie with fresh rosemary to eat alongside a honeycomb, it was legit the most delicious combo that also made me feel fancy af
Lucky lunch, Triple shot espresso, Seafoam pudding or just money
I agree. Nothing better than a good pickle 😩
Unfiltered honey is the best! The pollen is the good part! And yes, I actually find glass jars to be very endearing too.
🎶 Just one big pickle family 🎶
I'm sorry..... Sometimes I just say stuff. I 100% DIDN'T sing that out loud...
Pickles! And tacos
I make mead (honey wine) people get me honey/ honey themed things for every occasion. I absolutely love it!
I thought I was a die-hard Leah stan, but Harvey has really won me over. He always makes me breakfast and cares so much about the villagers. I am in love.
He really is so sweet, isn’t he‽ I liked being married to him a lot. Very nice person🙂
I did place a spoiler tag on your post, because as you can see in the spoiler policy, 8+ heart events and post-marriage dialogue need to be tagged. It’s just a nice thing to do for people who want to experience these moments fresh in their own game instead of seeing it here first.
Not a big deal, and you’re not in trouble! Just an fyi🙂
Ty for letting me know! New to this subreddit :))
No worries! There are so many little details to think about when making a post—I almost always forget something!
(In fact, the mod team has a private subreddit just to make practice posts of whatever official post we need to make here! We have to try things out and make sure it looks right and that we’re not forgetting details. That way we look suuuper smooth and professional when the official post goes live here. I’m telling you our secrets, omg. But yeah, no worries. You did great🙂)
Go visit him at the clinic (if married to him) and interact twice, he has the sweetest reaction 🥰
Me too, he is the best. ❤️ Mark this as a spoiler for others though pls!
BEST HUSBANDO
Harvey is a true romantic, I'm so glad I married him!
i've never actually played the game properly and this is my first actual playthrough (i started playing when the glitch where everybody loved any gift so i was on my way to being with harvey but now its gone so i have to find what gifts he actually likes 😭)
OP, Stardew wiki is going to be your best friend - if you want it to be! If you want to figure it out for yourself a little tip is you can go into their profiles in the menu and it’ll show up items you gave people that they love.
Otherwise don’t feel cheeky if you want to refer to the Wiki, it’s very common
i didnt even know that was a thing! thank you!!
Harvey is a simple man - give him >!coffee!< and he'll be happy
That's honestly so on brand for a healthcare worker 😅
Right? I forget about him more than I'd care to admit, but I never have to check what to give him when I run into him 😆
Or wine, which is also on-brand for healthcare workers in my experience.
For some reason I thought the spoiler was going to be something dirty 💀😆
If you are looking for a cheaper option to gift Harvey, try pickling spring onions. This is also a loved gift and you can find spring onions in the southern part of Cindersap Forest during Spring :)
You can also just pickle other forages like leeks, horseradish etc or just any vegetables
That's true! Spring onion is just the cheapest. I also like to save my horseradish for Krobus and my leeks for George.
it's a festival you'll discover as you progress in the game
Its festival you will unlock while working on community center(dont open if you dont want spoilers for how to get it) >!do valut bundle and you will get bus fixed,then pay Pam 500g per trip to go to Calico Desert,stars represent 3 day festival thats happening there and its reqlly fun imo,you have fishng challenge,some exclusive stuff at shop like Alexs hair gel to make your hair change colors,you will have some challenges in Skull cavern,free cactus,Emily will dress you up once per day(bottoms,top amd hat)Its really fun and i always look foward to it🥰!<
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.
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 😭
Maru gives me batteries, something actually useful
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.
Which is funny because Sebastian doesn’t like any alcohol drinks, I was very surprised when he gave me a beer on new years
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 always give Sam his pancakes back.
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
I tried romancing Abigail in the current save but I just couldn't do this to my wife
Shane gives you pizza and pepper poppers. And occasionally an egg. I usually eat them when I go into the mines.
Mine would be opal, rainbow shell, midnight squid, fiddlehead fern, sunflower and duck feather.
Cheese, sashimi, mayo, gold bars. If it were giftable, I'd include furniture/decor items.
Tea, cheese, cranberry sauce, duck feather.
Cherries, peaches, goat cheese, and chocolate cake
cheese, strawberries, solar essence, opal, sunflowers
Loved: Shrimp Cocktail, Crab Cakes, Fish Taco, Ginger Ale, Triple Shot Espresso, Chocolate Cake
Liked: Banana, Pearl, Ruby, Pink Cake, Bone Flute, Squid Ink, Fairy Rose
Neutral: Clam, Honey, Wine, Ice Cream, Sea Urchin, Duck Feather
Hated: Fried Mushroom, Pepper Poppers, Beer, Coleslaw, Coconut, Fiber
edit: didn't notice you only asked for loved gifts haha oopies.
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!

I don’t ever post on anything, ever, but I follow Stardew pretty devoutly on here. SDV is my favorite game of all time and even though my wife doesn’t play she always supports my other life as a truffle farmer, starfruit wine sommelier, and legend II roe preservationist extraordinaire. This random act of sweetness was inspired by our recent wedding and I just wanted to share :). Have a great day everyone!
What a thoughtful, lovely gesture. She's a keeper!
Well aren't you the cutest 😊 This is awesome! 🌟
That's the cutest thing ever 😭
Happy for you op >:(
Good for you >:(
I'm not jealous or anything. At all.
Nice >:(
Literally me tho lol
Michelle?? Or what do you mean??
Buddy blink twice if she's feeding you poisonous mushrooms and we'll send in a rescue party!
jokes aside, this is sweet and I'm happy for you guys
Thanks! Didn't Haley dislike prismatic shards because they are prettier than her?
Ah I meant to put it under Haley!! Oops
I made a gift guide that helps me tremendously so I thought I’d share!!
When i learned Leah liked salads i stocked up from the local tavern and she is now my wife on my save
