Gift-giving

The gift the player selects for their villager will be worth 5x the normal amount of friendship points. After the player gives their gift, their Secret Gift-Giver will reveal themself and give them their present.

Possible Received Gifts

This is a list of gifts the player can receive from their secret gift-giver. The only children are Jas, Vincent, and Leo (if he has moved into Stardew Valley); everyone else is an adult. The Dwarf, Krobus, Marlon, Sandy, and the Wizard are never secret gift givers.

Mail

“ “Dear [Player],
I would like to give you some information about an upcoming event: the Feast of the Winter Star. It's a time for the community to come together and think back on all the good fortune we've had this year.
A favorite tradition is the "secret gift exchange", where everyone in town is randomly assigned to someone else. On the day of the festival, everyone brings a gift for their secret friend and surprises them with something special!

This year, your secret friend is:
[Villager]
Don't tell anyone! The feast will take place on the 25th from 9AM to 2PM at the town square. See you then!
-Mayor Lewis”

Trivia

  • Speaking to Willy gives the player the option to hear the story of the Winter Star:
"In the night sky of winter, there is a bright star only visible from this valley. No one knows why this is... but in times of old people would come from far and wide to see it. They believed that anyone who laid eyes on the Winter Star would be blessed with good fortune. Some even claim that the mysterious fruit known as Stardrop is connected to the Winter Star in some way."
  • On the shipping summary screen at end of the 24th day of Winter, Santa Claus will ride across the sky with a few reindeer in his sleigh.
  • If the player talks to George, he will deprecate the feast and shout "Humbug!", a reference to Ebenezer Scrooge, the elderly protagonist of Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol.
  • It is possible to have your secret friend be Lewis. If that happens, Lewis will still send you a letter telling you so, and will still act surprised when you give him his gift.

Bugs

  • It's possible for Leo to be the secret friend after the player meets him but before he moves from Ginger Island to the mainland. In this case, Leo does not attend the festival, so the player cannot give him a gift (and then cannot receive a gift).

History

  • 1.3.32: Fixed bug where the player could not move after receiving their gift.
  • 1.4: Fixed bug where the entire stack of items given to the secret gift recipient would be consumed. Fixed NPCs following non-festival schedules after the festival.
  • 1.4.4: Quest items and non-giftable items can no longer be given as gifts at the festival.
  • 1.5: Introduced Pierre's booth.
  • 1.5.1: Leo can no longer be the player's secret friend if the player has not met him.
  • 1.6: Fixed Lewis' letter for the Feast of the Winter Star saying it starts at 10am instead of 9am. Added new items to Pierre's booth.
  • 1.6.6: Pierre's Missing Stocklist can no longer be given away at the festival.
