Stardew Valley’s Sandy isn’t someone you get to meet straight away as she doesn’t reside in Pelican Town. Instead, you need to repair the bus and use it to travel to the Oasis. She never leaves this area, meaning you have no choice but to come here if you want to see her, but she might wander the area with her best friend, Emily, from time to time. Still, since you only get a limited time with her, let’s check out the gifts and movies that she links to ensure you build that bond quickly.

As we already mentioned, of all the Stardew Valley characters, Sandy is closest to Stardew Valley’s Emily – if you marry Emily, she basically becomes your honorary sister-in-law. Besides her bestie, Sandy has ties to Mr Qi, the guy who runs a casino behind her shop, though their relationship is nothing more than a monetary transaction.
