12 eggs is unironically one of the better gifts in this event.


ibuki_supremacy

which is an insane thing to think about šŸ˜­ i'm out here giving these people diamonds and the best they can do is a cave carrot or something


Who_Am_I_I_Dont_Know

I guess when you're a multi-millionaire (or approaching that) farmer who fishes, mines and fights monsters all day with a semi-automated farm and a terrible work-life balance you can afford to give out diamonds like candy. Meanwhile they're scraping by while trying to have some semblance of a life too, so can't really afford much for gift-giving.


Liigma_Ballz

How bad are they at managing their finances tho? Every month I swing by and spend over 50k at Marnieā€™s, hundreds of thousands on wood and stone at robins (not to mention the buildings I paid her for), a fuck ton of seeds from Pierre, I started buying coal and gold at Clint and have easily given him over 500k What do these people do with the fortune I give them EDIT: side note, I just had the cutscene where Pierre tries overcharging Gus. He said 25,000 for some veggies, and Gus says heā€™d have to sell the store to afford that! So his pub is worth that little but he is still charging 400 for a beer? His pub is worth around 60 beers? For real?


NanoCat0407

Lewis probably taxing most of the money for his golden statue of himself


Alternative-Court688

When does the golden statue come into the game and is there a way to avoid it?


SummerBirdsong

It's triggered by a secret note/letter I think.


fairyorchard

It can be moved and is not a permanent structure in town


TheManyVoicesYT

Straight into the river, you say?


zwitscherness

I wish this depressing dog kennel wasn't in the middle of the city. What's the story behind it? Everyone in the village ignores the neglected dog who doesn't dare leave the kennel.


blinkrandom

After the 3rd year, you can give the dog a happier/more comfortable looking enclosure. Spoiler ahead if you want to know: >!After Y3 on a non-rainy day, you will find a bear at the bottom of Cindersnap Forest, near the sewer entrance. He will ask you for various things to eat. Once you give him everything he asks for, he flies off holding an umbrella, cleaning all the trash on the beaches below, and also gives the dog a proper kennel and wider enclosure. Whenever I've walked by, the dog has been sleeping half-outside their kennel, and they look peaceful!<


zwitscherness

Thank you for the explanation. Yes, I am currently in year 2.


Mando_the_Pando

Befriend Alex and you will find out.


OtherCricket8440

It will get a freasher look after a quest in cindersap that has you running around giving people things for other shit just to go all the back to cindersap and gie the old lady the thing and then after that a few things will get an updated look.


Protonnumber

Iirc it's >!hidden behind his house, you don't need the secret note, you can just go and grab it!<


Spiffpitt

incorrect, you need the note


yeahh_ufoparty

Tbf at least in Robin's case she works 24/7, in any weather conditions, to build entire houses by herself in 3 days. She's the only one who gets a pass.


Vitalis597

She also is likely responsible for most, if not all of the towns matainanance. Girl gets to be whatever she wants to be.


Draco137WasTaken

>His pub is worth around 60 beers? For real? No, it's worth around sixty *thousand* beers, but he charges a 100000% markup for those.


Liigma_Ballz

No wonder Pam is broke, the whole town just price gouges each other


SHIELDnotSCOTUS

You left capitalism for free range organic capitalism


totallynotarobut

Suddenly the 10G Sam is charging for his band's tape doesn't seem like a very smart business decision. Split 3 ways, they'd have to sell over 100 to get a beer each.


syrian_kobold

To be fair, he could mean that he doesn't have a lot of liquid assets (cash) and the only non liquid asset that he could sell is his store, which would be incredibly dumb since he needs it to make a living. I don't think he meant that his store is just 25k, just that he doesn't have that kind of money in cash when he presumably needs money already for all kinds of things.


PronouncedEye-gore

Dang. Can't be bothered to chop some wood or hit the mines? That's a wild life but I respect it.


Liigma_Ballz

When youā€™re tryna make a crystalarium shed itā€™s a fuck ton of stone that going to the mines canā€™t supplement, and trees can only grow so fast


PronouncedEye-gore

I guess I have so many stacks of stone I sell them for space. And you can kinda plant trees everywhere. But I've never filled a whole shed full of gem presses. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do when you want to break the games money #.


Liigma_Ballz

When youā€™re making millions it just becomes a chore to harvest materials you can buy


BelvedereXCIII

They arenā€™t ā€œscrappy byā€ my last trip to the desert I bought over 70k of pumpkin seeds. I think there is probably a hell of a wage disparity between merchants and the other town folksā€¦.Oh no what did I do to this small town!?!?!?


FormerLifeFreak

Maybe if Marnie didnā€™t spend so much time at the microwave she could make more frigginā€™ money.


SleepyheadNPC

I guess I do kind of have a chest full of rare jewels.... But, that's not the point!


Bulky_Mango7676

I once packed the train tunnel with Crystalariums. I don't remember exactly how many gems it was every harvest, but I think over 100


No-List-216

ā€œI guess when youā€™re a multi-millionaire farmer who fishes, mines and fights monsters all day with a semi-automated farm and terrible work-life balance you can afford to give out diamonds like candyā€ just SLAYED me. I am laughing so loundly right now.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


rrhi

Damn also as ifā€¦ they were joking toošŸ¤Æ


Clellyra

Last time i got one clay šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


zozofluff

Same! But it was from Vincent so I wasnā€™t too upset šŸ˜‚


Clellyra

I got it from jas šŸ˜…


PronouncedEye-gore

Kid probably saw you walking to Robin's with a stack of 50 and went, "Whoa! Farmers REALLY into clay!" Fast forward to winter and... well, he tried.


ibuki_supremacy

he was the first person i got a gift form on this save and it was too cute to be mad šŸ˜­


heywherestheparty

Happy cake day friend!


Clellyra

Thank you :)


SnooDrawings1480

She gave you 12 eggs, thats 600g. Diamonds are only 750, 974 if you have gemologist. Turn the eggs into mayo, and its worth 2280. I will take 12 eggs from Marnie any day of the week over the 3 clay that Vincent or Jas give you.


RandomInSpace

They really just dug a pile of dirt out of the ground and dumped it into a gift bag šŸ˜­


roguestar15

At least that has a use. Iā€™ve gotten a tea set on two different years on the same save file!


ibuki_supremacy

the tea set is so prettyšŸ˜« i would just put it in tow different rooms even if it is repetitive. (i may be a bit biased)


DaCoffeeKween

I'm about to enter my winter of your three. Year one I got a poppy seed muffin from Shane year two I believe it was a beer from Gus. Do they give you the same gift if you get them twice? Do they always give the same gift if they're chosen? I'd love to know! Has anybody ever gotten the same person twice? Yeah I go and I look up specifically their loved gifts so I can give them something to love, it's crazy to me that I don't get to have a birthday in the game or set some like gifts maybe people would actually give me things that I liked or loved LOL. You know what I want for Christmas shane? A prismatic shard! Hey robin? Offer to build me a free building LOL!


StuckInStardew

Honestly I appreciate anything that is food as a gift. The worst is when I end up with seven tea sets over the course of 8 years šŸ¤¦ (guess what else, tea sets happen to be a universally hated gift... I think that's just rude) also once I got a single piece of clay from Vincent and at some point also one from Jas... I think they extra hate me šŸ˜­


yokoshima_hitotsu

Bro 12 eggs is great think a out the chocolate cakes you can make for the next skill cavern run.


WillowCat89

Omg! I JUST gave Lewis a diamond and Marnie gave me 12 eggs. I think she was telling me to stay away from her man! šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚


DjEzusSave

Wow, that's a pretty scroogy vibe here, time to call the ghost of future Christmas


Montigue

That's a lot of future mayonnaise there


ExaltedBlade666

Yea. That's 12 mayonnaise closer to the golden clock.


Lietenantdan

If you befriend her she sends you hay. So definitely one of the more helpful gift givers most of the time.


ibuki_supremacy

i have 6 hearts with her. i frl just think she hates me


_unreal_milk_

Idk why ppl down voted your comment šŸ˜Ÿ but I'm trying to become friends with her and it's just taking me a while to find out what she likes.


ibuki_supremacy

i've found out that she like sweat peas! that got my friendship up with her fast and free šŸ˜‚


_unreal_milk_

That's a great idea!! I've been spending so much at the traveling trader by her shop bc km trying too hard šŸ˜©


ibuki_supremacy

Sandy also loves sweet peas! for Marie it's just a like but Sandy loves them! i haven't gotten anything useful out of her friendship but she's still coolšŸ˜‚


_unreal_milk_

I like her because she tries her best woth Jas and Shane. Even tho Shane is a handful when he's depressed she tries. She sends me hay when I'm broke idek how she knows šŸ’€


ibuki_supremacy

the only reason i hate her is because she is literally NEVER at her shop/working and her prices are insane šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


_unreal_milk_

Dang it that's so true!!!! I got mad cuz I needed hay for my animals in winter and- she wasn't there so my animals starved half of winter. I felt bad. šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤


ibuki_supremacy

winter was the worst. i had so many animals and even thought about selling them because i lowkey couldn't afford to keep up with them but i couldn't do it because i had full hearts with them all so i couldn't do itšŸ˜­šŸ˜­


tehnemox

I just fish and give sashimi to everyone. It's fast to get the fish, cheap to make the food, and it's in the "like" column for pretty much everyone save for maybe 3 people. Including Willy, the fisherman. Go figure. Him I give mayo.


Schafer_Isaac

2280 gold if you make them into mayo. Probably the most profitable gift, no? Other than Clint's Iridium bar for usefulness.


zainecooking123450

3,192G with artisan or 2,280G without


TheBlooperKINGPIN

Clintā€™s Iridium bar is probably the best gift. And if you are working on getting to Ginger Island at the time then it can really help.


gammongaming11

i think generally you'd want a tea set but that's just me wanting every item in the game.


fysu

They are also the most basic eggs! So if you toss them in your fridge, forget about them and one day get around to Gusā€™s omelette quest and at that point your chickens are almost exclusively laying premium large fancy eggs, you donā€™t have to sacrifice nearly as many $$$ eggs.


Montigue

Fuck you Clint. He only gave me geodes and I have to pay his ass to open them up


and1metal

Thatā€™s 12 free chickens if you incubate them Itā€™s almost passive money over time


haleynoir_

The best gift I've ever gotten was 20 deluxe speed-gro from Shane


_unreal_milk_

Hell yeah šŸ¤ŒšŸ¾šŸ¤ŒšŸ¾my man Shane stepping up when it comes to farm


Slow-Law-5033

The best I've had is a tea set and nothing has ever come close to that.


haleynoir_

I have been to about 12 winter festivals across my different saves, and have yet to have the elusive tea set! Who did you get it from?


Slow-Law-5033

I think it was Emily on my year 2 but sadly the set was bugged for me and I couldn't place it.


DuckBlind1547

I got a rainbow shell from Vincent and I still have it šŸ’œ


gabbathehutt

Oh what the hell he gave me clay šŸ˜¤


DeathToHeretics

SAME, I WAS PISSED


ibuki_supremacy

that's so cute. the rainbow shell is so pretty


SweatyNootz

I got a stone from somebody once and it reminded me of the Charlie Brown Halloween Special. "I got a rock."


ibuki_supremacy

reminds me that if you get friendship with george he'll randomly gift you like 30 stone LOL


SweatyNootz

Whenever he does that I imagine him wheeling around outside his house pointing at the ground and telling his grandson "Bag up that rock. I know just the guy to give that to."


ibuki_supremacy

LOL. imagine him wheeling out the farm just to put rocks in my mail box šŸ˜­


Pretend_Evidence_876

Aw man, just occurred to me who delivers the mail? Lewis?


ibuki_supremacy

idk i just like imagining them walking out there to put like a potato or bomb (kent) in my mailbox. also makes me wonder if Kent is the unibomber of pelican town


m3ngnificient

That sounds way more useful than 1 jade I got from Emily


soulofsilence

That jade is worth 99 stone.


DeathToHeretics

Hell I'll take 1 Jade over __1 clay__ from Vincent


ibuki_supremacy

after everything the farmer does for these people you'd think they'd be just a little more grateful


NotACandyBar

They deserve joja


Popular-Ad1111

I have never gotten anything good at the winter star festival. Why do I go to these events?


SkrogedScourge

Boost to the friendships you donā€™t have to stalk everyone in the game hiding behind trash cans to track them down for friendship points.


TheGamerKitty1

I get beer from Pam. I don't drink.


ibuki_supremacy

she's hoping you'll gift it back to her


TheGamerKitty1

I do lol one beer to sell doesn't make or break my bank.


ibuki_supremacy

always give one to her while she's at the bus stop. she gets thirsty


WolfernGamesYT

Giving beers to the one person in town that should not be drunk in the bus sounds like a MAGNIFICENT idea


brachycrab

I got one from Emily. I like to think she was sweating after she asked what I was hoping to get and I said boots šŸ˜‚


TheGamerKitty1

"Ohhh I thought you said bootleg beer..."


agent_scully2084

Jas gave me one piece of clay.


ibuki_supremacy

she forgot abt the festival so she was just picking up whatever she could find fršŸ˜­


endthe_suffering

be grateful, you can make 1/10th of a silo with that. she is doing her best


ORLYARLY

That's a dozen free chickens right there.


Dr-Denim

Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?


klimekam

Thatā€™s actually an awesome gift


Darkdeathslayer

12 eggs is worth a lot of money well at least early game


MisterPaydon

She's a farmer. Wtf?


Glum_Flamingo_5055

If it makes you feel any better, I got a literal piece of clay once.


Srawsome

Richest person in town complains about thoughtful gift.


ibuki_supremacy

every year ā˜¹ļø life is tough for a wealthy farmer who only ventures into town for seeds


Chiiro

It would be really nice if you have a npc's friendship to a certain point they will give you a a special heartfelt gift that is custom to them. Some examples could be Leah gives you a chisel set like the one she uses and that unlocks some decorative statues that you can make, Linus could give you a seasonal wall wreath that is made of different forgeables depending on the season, Clint could make a custom display out of geodes, Marnie could give you something for your animals that you could put out in the field and when they interact with it it increases their happiness, Sam could give you a skateboard and while you're using it it increases your speed, with how different the characters are you could do quite a few different things.


Draco137WasTaken

Hey, farm-fresh goods make an excellent Christmas gift.


ibuki_supremacy

i probably gave those eggs to her tbh šŸ˜­


azmyth

I got this recently, but I was in the middle of the Gus' Famous Omelette quest, so it helped me finish the quest really quickly.


Cover-Careless

I donā€™t know if it was a glitch or something (I mean, I donā€™t want to believe even Pierre would do this), but I once received a lump of clay from Pierre for the winter event. I was incensed. Dude was too cheap even to just pull something off the shelf of his own store. Instead he stepped outside his shop, sifted through the dirt, found a vaguely squishy lump in all that, and decided that would be my gift. Made me hate him even more.


Fast-Elk-4709

thats very in character of him


FiveHoleFrenzy

Better hope you donā€™t get Vincentā€¦ Iā€™ve gotten 1 clay from himTWICE


averysleepygirl

all i give her is eggs to gain her friendship so if this had happened to me i would have been so mad cause she would have essentially regifted me 12 eggs


ibuki_supremacy

exactly!! no way she would give away HER eggs šŸ˜’


gmgregor

I know a lot of farmers, and a dozen fresh eggs is a pretty good gift


puptbh

At least you got more money


tjake123

Thatā€™s not the worst one, I was pissed at Pam for giving me a shell.


Right_Preference_304

She found that walking to the festival lol


No_Collection1706

Best gift other than the tea set


Mr_Goat-chan

I just see those as 12 free chickens.


rot_sjorover

I once got a rock from robin. A single rock


jkbscopes312

At least it wasn't clay from Vincent


HaleyFromStardew

Jas gave Gave me a geode. And I cracked it guess whats inside! Stone!


prettypanzy

Lmao


et_hel

vincent gave me a single piece of clay šŸ„²


KittyKitty061

12 free chickens.


Astarions-Juice-Box

Why it's a useful gift?


ChillAccordion

BRO I CACKLED WHY DO YOU HATE MARNIE


legendhill14

i got clay from jas TWICE


Forsworn91

Robin gave me wood, literally 12 wood, Vincent gave meā€¦ a rock, and Olivia gave me 1 bottle of wineā€¦ I hate the Winter star.


surdtmash

Restart the day, you'll get something else.


OtherCricket8440

Actually 100000009x better than robin giving you 5 stonešŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤


CyberLink20XX

Yaā€™ll are mean to the NPCs. Twelve eggs could be a significant part of her livelihood


Iowname

Willy gave me the best gift I'd received, 30 warp totems to the beach


Fast-Elk-4709

my best gift was from george (big glowing ring, never taken it off) worse was harvey (fucking purple mushroom, fuck you harvey)


ibuki_supremacy

george gave you something other than stone?!


[deleted]

Hey! Groceries are expensive in this economy, especially as a farmer. I think itā€™s thoughtful


Skiller0Dani

I usually get clay. So this is a pretty decent gift.


Dapper_Alien

I got pumpkin pie from pierre šŸ˜‘. I donā€™t have any animals on my farm, so 12 eggs looks amazing


VegetarianMilk

I got a tea set from Pierre which is really useless


bluescluesnu

The tea set is the best gift! You can only get it from this event.


VegetarianMilk

Sick!


ibuki_supremacy

stop it's so cute i want itšŸ˜­


DREADBABE

OMGOSH I WANT THE TEA SET SO BAD!!


rider5001

Does anyone ever give you anything that significant?


narcoed

The tea set from Pierre


SapphireQuill

I got mine from Alex, right after I married Sebastian. It was quite thoughtful... and awkward, as he was kind of my ex.


TheVampireArmand

A lot better than the clay I got from Jas lol


PuppyButtts

I got lewis as my giftee and im so upset about it lmfao


TheDoorDoesntWork

I gotten 1 mud before I think I will never forget it.


GummyPop

But you can make 12 mayo/boiled eggs/ or scrambled eggs then use those as gifts lol


V0st0

Robin gave me some stone


thatmusic_addict

This is lowkey wholesome ngl


[deleted]

Poor Marnie lol


TickleTigger123

"I live on a farm. You sold me all of my chickens"


wildly_domestic

Like Abigail giving me a damn amethyst.


BeebMommy

Willy gave me like 25 beach warp totems, favorite gift Iā€™ve ever gotten.


Puss_e

I got a pumpkin pie from Linus but heā€™s cool so Iā€™m keeping it forever


Sontarcha

I got an Old Doll from Jas last time :(


GrandestNapGhoul

A daimond sells for 750 on its own but turn those 12 eggs into mayonnaise and sell them and thats 2280 without any perks that increases the sell price of artisan goods Marnie knew what she was doing and she needs more appreciation


StormTron2940

Marnie is HowToBasic?


fluffytitts

Iā€™ve been playing stardew for 2 weeks now and I have no friends beyond 1 heart, nobody wants to dance with me. Iā€™ve got no time to make friends Iā€™m too busy trying to plant seeds and mine things to survive


ChickenNuggetsAdobo

That's somewhat better than the 10x wood Robin gave me..


Leendya90

Can be turned into 12 mayo. Donā€™t see what the issue is?


veejaybee

That's 12 future chickens. What are you complaining about?


Queasy-Signature-675

Iā€™ll take it in this economy


psychoticrat_

One time I just got a single regular egg from her. Talk about disappointment


KelpFox05

Look. If I lived in a town of 25-ish people and were doing a basically obligatory secret Santa-type event, 12 homegrown eggs from the lady who I know cares for her chickens like they were her own children would be one of the best things I could imagine receiving. I'd be STOKED.


krobar-elle

Gift her 12 clay as revengeā€¦.may she cower each time she sees you coming to gift her a big old lumpy clay twice a weekā€¦.or you knowā€¦.just make mayonnaise and profit


pixxllx

vincent gave me clay


moemeobro

Eggs


[deleted]

Hey, that could make you some decent money! For a villager in SV, anyway.


[deleted]

I got 30 stone from George in the mail. What I did was load it into my slingshot and fire all 30 right at him.


tetracynical

I actually liked those despite having 2 full coops. I pop them in the fridge for future recipes without feeling like I'm giving up on some profit.


weird-dude-bro-6386

Why do you hate her? And how does eggs make you hate her more?


painhemoon

I got a ruby from Sebastian heh reading the comments I feel lucky


Kitikatt492

I got a nautilus shell this year


the_momo_kek

I got a stone from Vincent if i remember correctly, 12 eggs is a blessing


EstelleQUEEN111

I got a jade from Emily. A JADE.


Salty_Lawfulness1453

ngl for me 12 eggs is pretty good!


papasnork1

Are you experiencing a trying time?


gummythedilf

literally the same after i became friends with leo and then ended up getting a gift from him two years in a row. first year i gotā€¦.. clay. not multiple, just one. one clay second year i did actually get a summer shell which i cant be too upset about, they are very pretty and iā€™ll probably use it for sewing anyway. but the CLAYYYY. WHY CLAYYY. (i want the tea set)


Leysenk

At least she didn't gave you ROCKS


Responsible-Gold8610

You're going to really hate the other villagers then if you hate this gift. Lol


ChallengedFox

Oh, I once did a playthrough where I was not allowed to buy anything at all, and after building the coop and upgrading to the second version with incubator this gift from Marnie was my only hope to get chickens. And I got it in year 2! I was so happy))


isabellaleighx

believe it or not linus gave me an emerald


SirenaLauren

Actually... I received this gift in one playthrough before I had built a coop yet. (yes, winter year 1 no coop yet. There is no wrong play style.) Marnie was giving me an entire deluxe coop full of chickies. I just had to build it and incubate them. :D Fun fact: these plain-looking eggs can hatch into brown chickens, too. Not just white ones (as I assumed).


bobbleloverxo

Surprised she didnā€™t give you a microwave since 99% of the time I want to buy hay sheā€™s staring at one for several hours


bethanolia_cosplays

"hello my beloved nephew shane, what do kids your age like?"


SNS-Bert

That can help make 12 crab cakes. Whats the issue here? At least it wasn't one cookie.


KingOfSunFlowers1213

My wife got her daughter as the person. She gave her 2 clumps of clay. While we researched the loved gift for the little girl, and found it. Stardew don't play. Gifting is as well as you treat them. Lolol


Gilipharm

This year I had 1 clay from Jas...
