Stardew Valley's Evelyn is a sweet ol' lady who's lived in Pelican Town her entire life. She potters around the town square and tends to the flowers there, and is a lovely friend to have on your side thanks to how sweet and caring she is. She lives with her husband George, an endearingly grumpy guy who loves his wife just as much as we do.

So to help you become friends with Evelyn, we can tell you all about her heart events and the gifts she likes, as well as what movies she enjoys watching at the theater. As one of the sweetest Stardew Valley characters, we've gotta love Evelyn.

Here's everything you need to know about Stardew Valley's Evelyn:

What are the best Stardew Valley Evelyn gifts? 

If you want to be a good neighbor and give Pelican Town's resident granny a present, you've got a few options. Evelyn loves chocolate cake and diamonds, though she's also partial to tulips and raisins - can't say I understand the last one, but hey, I'm happy for the old gal to have my raisins, too.

The best gifts to give Evelyn are:

  • Beets, chocolate cake, diamond, fairy rose, raisins, stuffing, tulips, and all universal loves

The worst gifts to give Evelyn are:

  • All fish (except clam, cockle, mussel, and oyster), clay, fried eel, garlic, holly, maki roll, salmonberry, sashimi, spice berry, spicy eel, trout soup, and all universal hates (except broken glasses)

When is Evelyn's birthday?

Dear old Evelyn's birthday is on Winter 20, so we suggest giving her a nice fresh cake or something else hot to keep her warm.

What are Stardew Valley Evelyn's heart events? 

Naturally, Evelyn isn't a character eligible for betrothal despite how much you might treat her like the special lady she is - she's already happily married to George, bless - and so she doesn't have as many heart events as other characters. However, if you keep her sweet, she can pop a few gifts in the mail for you, which never hurts.

Event How to trigger
Any friendship level above zero hearts Evelyn can send you a gift in the mail at any time
Four hearts Enter Evelyn's home while she's inside
Seven hearts Evelyn will send a recipe in the mail

What are Evelyn's favorite movies and concessions? 

Who doesn't love the movies? Evelyn certainly does, enjoying all but two of the pictures on offer. She's a bit more difficult to please when it comes to concessions, but as long as you give her a star cookie or stardrop sorbet, you can't go wrong.

Where is Evelyn during the green rain event in the summer?

During the summer of your first year in Pelican Town, you'll likely experience an odd phenomenon. The green rain event turns the town on its axis a little because everyone's plans change, and their routines differ from normal. This can make it a little difficult to keep track of where everyone is, especially if you're in the middle of a quest and you need to find them.

Evelyn, however, is quite easy to find on a green rainy day. You can find her chilling out in her kitchen, waiting out the storm.
