Presenting gifts to Abigail is an excellent way to nurture your friendship with her. Each gift has the potential to affect your relationship positively, bringing you closer to Abigail and uncovering more about her unique personality.
By understanding her preferences and selecting thoughtful presents, you can strengthen the bond between your character and Abigail.
Effects on Friendship
When you give Abigail a gift she loves or likes, it will result in an increase in your friendship points with her.
These points contribute to the overall friendship level, which can unlock special events and interactions. Abigail will also respond with gratitude and affection, demonstrating the positive impact your gift has had on your relationship.
On the other hand, offering gifts that Abigail dislikes or hates will have the opposite effect. These gifts will decrease your friendship points, potentially straining your bond with her.
Birthday Gifts
Abigail’s birthday is a special occasion in Stardew Valley [1], and it presents a prime opportunity to express your fondness for her. Abigail’s birthday falls on the 13th of Fall, making it a date to mark on your in-game calendar.
Taking the time to discover Abigail’s favorite items and surprising her with a birthday gift she loves can result in a substantial increase in friendship points, specifically an 8x multiplier. It showcases your attentiveness and thoughtfulness, making her feel cherished and valued.

The gifts she dislikes are All Universal Dislikes (excluding Clay and Pufferfish), All Fruit (excluding Fruit Tree Fruit), All Eggs, All Vegetables, Wild Horseradish, and Sugar.
Hate (-40 Friendship Points)
The “Hate” category represents gifts that Abigail detests. Offering these items will significantly decrease your friendship points and can strain your relationship. It’s best to avoid giving her these gifts altogether.
