the best gifts

Giving gifts is one of the best ways to improve your relationships with Stardew Valley villagers. Just take an item they love or like (see ideal gifts below) and place it on top of them. You can do this once a day and twice a week.

There are some items that, while not the best, give a nice bonus when given to someone. They include:

• tree fruits.
• Maple syrup.
• choice of life
• Handmade products, except zero oil and mayonnaise.
• Cooked food except fried eggs, bread, and an odd bagel.
• Other flowers besides the poppy.
• Precious stones and minerals other than quartz.
• Vegetables other than wheat and hops.

how to marry

The heart events mentioned above are special events unique to each villager. They are unlocked at certain limits, which are usually two, four, six, eight and ten hearts. After the Two Hearts event, you can enter the villagers' room, making it much easier to find them every day.

how to divorce

If, for some reason, you are not satisfied with your choice of spouse, Stardew Valley makes it easy to separate and choose another one. Be careful as this will bring them back to 0 hearts and provoke unpleasant conversations about how the marriage didn't work out.

Your ex will be marked as such in the menu and will decline future gifts. However, once you unlock the witch's hut, you can erase all memories of your ex-spouse for the low price of 30,000 gold. It will make it look like you've never met them before.
