You can give in-game items to anyone as gifts in Stardew Valley, but they will not always be well received. While each NPC has a set of likes and dislikes, many items in the game are categorized into universal likes and dislikes, meaning the NPCs regularly feel the same about them. Below we have the whole list of them.
