Sam Gift Guide In Stardew Valley
Loved Gifts
Sam’s loved gifts include cactus fruit, maple bar, pizza, tigerseye, and every other universally loved gift. Most of these are pretty easy to get and don’t require much effort.
The easiest ones we can recommend are the maple bar and pizza. Cactus fruit is also easy to obtain, but it does require you to have the desert unlocked.
When you give Sam a loved gift, he will say: “Aw, yea! This is my absolute favorite!” You will then receive 80 friendship points. It’s only possible to give a villager one gift a day and two gifts per week in total. If you give Sam a gift on his birthday, which is on Summer 17, you’ll receive 640 friendship points or 2.5 hearts, thanks to the multiplier of 8.
Also, if you give Sam a gift for the Feast of the Winter Star festival, you’ll get 400 friendship points or 1.6 hearts.
