What does Sebastian like in Stardew Valley?

Not a breakfast person.

Oh Sebastian. What a dreamboat. In Stardew Valley, heā€™s sort of the motorhead of the game, handy with a wrench and owner of a motorcycle ā€“ the quickest way to a womanā€™s heart. Maybe. Not really. Anyway, if you want to get in good with him, youā€™re going to need to give him material objects.

Sebastian has some pretty particular tastes. While you might get lucky by handing him unborn critters, you can also play it safe and stick to the universally liked gifts. The universal gifts are (mostly) safe advice for other characters, too, including villagers like Marnie, Penny, or Abigail.

Also, note that Sebastian’s birthday is on Winter’s 10th day. The perfect time to show him you care.

Universal gifts for Stardew Valley villagers

These are the gifts that most villagers will like. Some of the villagers have particular things that they donā€™t like amongst the ā€œuniversalā€ gifts. For example, Sebastian does not like Complete Breakfast, Farmerā€™s Lunch, Green Tea, Omelet, and Coffee. Apparently, heā€™s not a morning person. Also, he does not like any flowers because I guess heā€™s too manly.

Universally loved gifts:

  • Stardrop Tea
  • Golden Pumpkin
  • Magic Rock Candy
  • Pearl
  • Prismatic Shard

Universally liked gifts:

  • All artisan goods (except for Oil and Void Mayonnaise)
  • All cooking (except Fried Egg, Bread, Strange Bun, and Seafoam Pudding)
  • All foraged minerals (except Quartz, but some villagers still like it)
  • All fruit tree fruits (except Banana and Mango)
  • All gems
  • All Vegetables (except Hops, Tea Leaves, Wheat, and Unmilled Rice)
  • Life Elixir
  • Maple Syrup
  • Pina Colada
  • Rainbow Shell
  • Treasure Chest

Thatā€™s a lot of stuff to work off of that Sebby likes, just remember that he doesnā€™t like flowers and breakfast food, strangely.

I wouldnā€™t think to give a guy a flounder as a gift, but I guess theyā€™re tasty when cooked. Sebastian is into them, so thatā€™s what counts.
