What does Marnie like in Stardew Valley?

You go-to lady for animals is easy to please

In Stardew Valley, Marnie is your go-to girl for all things animal-related (unless you’re after a blue Chicken, then you’ll need Shane). If you want to get into her bedroom (to get Mayor Lewis’ Lucky Pants, get your mind out of the gutter), then you’ll need to get her friendship up, and there’s no better way to do that than through gifts.

With so many things to gift to villagers, it’s a bit of a minefield trying to figure out who enjoys what, but don’t worry, I’ve got you. (Same goes for if you’re trying to impress Penny, Sebastian, or Abigail, too).
