Stardew Valley birthday calendar and every villagers loved gifts

Spread across the four seasons in Stardew Valley, there are a total of 34 birthdays to remember. Why remember them? Because giving a loved gift to a villager on their birthday will provide a huge boost in friendship, meaning you can earn hearts much quicker. 

Remembering the birthdays of friends is a pretty basic requirement of friendship, but with so many to remember it can be hard to keep track. While you can check the board outside Pierre’s General Store at any time, it’s still easy to miss a day while going about your daily farm life.
