Stardew Valley: Sebastian Gifts Guide (Likes, Love & Dislikes)

Quick Links

Stardew Valley, and to do so, players will want to know how to give him gifts. There are a lot of items in the game, but the villagers are picky and are only fond of certain types of items. You will also have to take into how many things he can be offered during a week and when his birthday is to maximize the potential.

NPCs in Stardew Valley are one of the best parts, and your relationship with them can be improved or worsened with the gifts you give them. All villagers have things they love, like, dislike, and outright hate, and they will be upset if you give them one of the latter. If you make Sebastian happy enough, you can marry him, and he will move into the farmhouse.
