Stardew Valley presents players with a diverse cast of characters, each with their distinct preferences. Amidst the various likes and dislikes, there exist a select few items cherished by almost all residents, known as 'universal loves.' These prized possessions offer a substantial +80 friendship boost upon gifting.
While these items are rare and challenging to acquire, they serve as excellent gifts when unsure of what to present to a character. Let's delve into the world of Stardew Valley's universal loves and how to obtain them.
Rabbit's Foot
Despite its grisly nature, the Rabbit's Foot is a unique item found in Stardew Valley. These peculiar items can be obtained by raising Rabbits in a Coop, with a chance for them to drop a foot daily, especially when the Rabbit is happy and well-fed. Additionally, they are rare drops from defeated Serpents or occasionally sold by the Traveling Cart.
