#Who is Abigail in Stardew Valley?

Abigail is one of the twelve Stardew Valley marriage candidates, and easily one of the most beloved by fans. With her vibrant purple hair, love of adventure, and passion for all things mystical and spooky, she stands out as one of the more unique characters in Pelican Town.

She lives with her parents, Pierre and Caroline, at Pierre’s General Store and often finds herself at odds with her more traditional mother. If you’re hoping to romance Abigail, you’ll need to learn what she likes, where she goes, and how to max out her friendship hearts.

#What Gifts Does Abigail Like in Stardew Valley?

Gifting is the fastest way to increase your friendship level with Abigail. You can give her up to two gifts per week, and one extra gift on her birthday (Fall 13), which gives 8x friendship points!

Amethyst
Pumpkin
Chocolate Cake
Banana Pudding
Spicy Eel
Pufferfish

“I seriously love this! You're the best!”

Pro tip: Amethyst is one of the easiest Loved Gifts to get early on. It's purple, it sparkles, and Abigail is obsessed with it.

#Liked Gifts (+45 friendship points)

These won’t give as big of a boost as Loved Gifts, but they’re still solid picks:

Quartz
Bone Flute
Ancient Sword
Basilisk Paw
Combat Quarterly

“Hey, how’d you know I was hungry? This looks delicious!”

#Best Strategy: Loved vs Liked Gifts

Here’s a quick breakdown of your gifting game plan:

#Prioritize Loved Gifts:

Stockpile Amethysts from mining.
Grow Pumpkins in Fall.
Bake or buy Chocolate Cake and Spicy Eel.

#Save Loved Gifts for:

Her birthday (Fall 13) – 8x multiplier = +640 points!
