Emily Gift Guide: Loved Gifts, Birthday & Schedule (Stardew Valley)

Emily is the blue-haired tailor-in-training who works the evening shift at the Stardrop Saloon. She lives at 2 Willow Lane with her sister Haley — and where Haley hates minerals, Emily loves them. She’s one of the easiest villagers to max early: every common mine gem is a Loved gift.

What gifts does Emily love?

Ten Loved gifts (+80 each), almost all pulled straight from the Mines or the loom:

Gift	How to get it
Amethyst	Mines floors 1–39
Aquamarine	Mines floors 40–79, crates
Emerald	Mines floors 80+
Jade	Mines floors 40+
Ruby	Mines floors 80+, volcano
Topaz	Mines floors 40+
Cloth	Loom + wool (or recycle newspaper)
Wool	Sheep / rabbit drops
Survival Burger	Cooked (bread + cave carrot + eggplant)
Parrot Egg	1.6 trinket — combat drops

Amethyst covers both Emily and Abigail — one gem vein feeds two romance arcs. Cloth is the wildcard: a recycling machine turns soggy newspaper into cloth, making trash into a Loved gift. The points math lives in the gift guide.

When is Emily’s birthday?

Spring 27 — late spring, when the Mines are usually open and gem stock is high. A Loved gem that day is worth 640 friendship points.

Where do you find Emily?

She sleeps in late, works at the Stardrop Saloon from mid-afternoon until closing (roughly 4pm–12:30am), and on Tuesdays joins the aerobics class at Pierre’s. If Ginger Island’s resort is open she may take a random beach day. The Saloon shift makes her one of the easiest villagers to deliver gifts to — she’s behind the counter every evening like clockwork.

Can you marry Emily?

Yes — one of the six bachelorettes, added as a marriage candidate in 1.1. Her heart events include the dream encounter, the dance sequence, and unlocking her sewing machine. Married, she sets up a small crystal garden behind the farmhouse; her 14-heart event is the “Errand for your Wife” quest — fetch her 200 fiber and she makes you the Magic Outfit set.
