stardew valley jodi's portrait against a blue sky

Stardew Valley's Jodi deserves kindness, compassion, and a friend. It's not easy being a solo parent to two boys while your husband is away in the army, but this badass mom shows you how it's done. So, as you're new in town and need of some friends, why not get to know Jodi? Form a close enough friendship, and you even get a pal who's happy to have dinner with you, so let's take a look at what gifts Jodi likes, which movies you should take her to, and more.

Besides Jodi and her young son Stardew Valley's Vincent, there are plenty of other Stardew Valley characters for you to meet in Pelican Town after you pick out your Stardew Valley farm layout. If you want to find love, Stardew Valley's Shane and Stardew Valley's Abigail are just two examples of eligible single people who also call the village home.

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

What are the best gifts for Jodi?

Stardew Valley's Jodi is easy to please. There's very little she doesn't appreciate in the way of a gift; just make sure you don't hand her some daffodils or spice berries, otherwise, this lovely lady may question whether you're really her friend. You can give Jodi two gifts a week and an extra one on her birthday - Fall 11 - so make sure you make the most out of those opportunities if you want to strengthen your friendship.

The best gifts to give Jodi are:

  • Crispy bass, rhubarb pie, fried eel, diamond, chocolate cake, pancakes, vegetable medley, eggplant parmesan, all eggs (except void egg), all milk, all fruit (except spice berry), all universal likes, and all universal loves

The worst gifts to give Jodi are:

  • Dandelion, spice berry, daffodil, all universal dislikes, and all universal hates

What are Jodi's favorite movies and concessions?

Stardew Valley's Jodi can come with me to the movies any time. There isn't a single film that she doesn't like, and she has excellent taste in snacks, making her the perfect movie buddy, in my opinion. She certainly puts other residents like Stardew Valley's Pierre to shame, though that's not exactly difficult, given he's arguably the least likable person in Pelican Town.

Movie Concession
Love The Zuzu City Express Chocolate popcorn, Stardrop sorbet
Like It Howls In The Rain, The Miracle At Coldstar Ranch, Wumbus, The Brave Little Sapling, Natural Wonders: Exploring Our Vibrant World, Mysterium, Journey Of The Prairie King: The Motion Picture Salted peanuts, popcorn, star cookie, salmon burger, jasmine tea, cappuccino mousse cake, ice cream sandwich, nachos, personal pizza, fries
Dislike None Everything else

How do I unlock Jodi's heart events?

If there's one way to describe Jodi, it's that she's a giver, as most of her heart events involved her giving you a gift in the post or even a nice dinner at her house. There's nothing you can do to destroy your friendship; your bond only ever gets stronger. You just need to give her a nice present now and then and some company.

  • Any more than zero hearts
    • Jodi will send you items in the mail
  • Two hearts
    • You can enter Jodi's bedroom, where you find a letter from her husband
  • Three hearts
    • Jodi sends you a recipe for fried calamari
  • Four hearts
    • Leave your house between 6 am and 9:30 am on a Monday, and Jodi will invite you to dinner
  • Seven hearts
    • Jodi sends you the recipe for ice cream

Are there any quests from Jodi?

Quests in Stardew Valley can help you get both gold and friendship points, making it even easier to develop your relationship with Jodi. Better still, none of her quests are too taxing, being quite straightforward to complete.

Quest How to complete Reward
Jodi's request Give her a cauliflower after she sends you a letter requesting one on the 19th of Spring One friendship heart and 350 gold
Fish casserole Go to her farm for dinner after she invites you to There is no reward for this
Help wanted board Jodi may sometimes request an item on the help wanted board: give her the item You get three times the value of the item you give Jodi

Can you marry Stardew Valley's Jodi?

Sorry, you can't marry Jodi. The woman has a ring on her finger, so it shouldn't surprise you to learn she's not available, and she has no interest in having an affair, so you need to move along. However, she's a great friend to have, and, honestly, that's what she needs right now, with her husband away in the army.

Now that you know everything about Stardew Valley's Jodi, let's brush up on your farming skills with our Stardew Valley silo guide. We're also on hand to tell you about all of the Stardew Valley fish and explain where to find the Stardew Valley bookseller.
