Oh, Sebastian, what a dreamboat. In Stardew Valley, he’s sort of the motorhead of the game, handy with a wrench and owner of a motorcycle – the quickest way to a woman’s heart. Maybe. Not really. Anyway, if you want to get in good with him and win Sebastian’s heart, the best way to make that happen is with gifts or bribes, depending on how you look at it.
While Sebastian does have some pretty particular tastes, and a penchant for eggs that is largely unexplained, there are a few things that you can stock up on and throw at him every day to win his affections.
Sebastian’s schedule in Stardew Valley
Before you can start earning Sebastian’s love with gifts, it might be handy to figure out where to find him. We have Sebastian’s full schedule for the entire year pinned down, but there are some general locations that seem to be more frequented by Pelican Town’s resident biker:
- Stardrop Saloon on Friday nights, along with the rest of the villagers. Sebastian can be found near the pool table.
- Smoking by various bodies of water, namely the lake near his house, or the river south of Sam’s house in town
- Sebastian is a secret homebody, and chances are that most of the time, you’ll find him holed up in his basement bedroom
- Summer 4 is Sebastian’s appointment for a check up at Harvey’s Clinic, so you can find him there pretty much all day
Universal gifts for Stardew Valley villagers
These are the gifts that most villagers will like. Some of the villagers have particular things that they don’t like amongst the “universal” gifts. Here are all of the Universal loved and liked gifts as they apply to Sebastian.
Universally loved gifts:
- Stardrop Tea
- Golden Pumpkin
- Magic Rock Candy
- Pearl
- Prismatic Shard
- Rabbit’s Foot
Universally liked gifts:
- All artisan goods
- Sebastian does not like Coffee, Green Tea, or Oils

That’s a lot of stuff to work off of that Sebastian likes, just remember that he doesn’t like flowers and breakfast food, which makes sense when you take his schedule and apparent love of staying up late and waking up halfway through the day.

In terms of what Sebastian actually likes, this is where we get a bit eclectic. It’s extremely specific, but as a general rule, he likes things on the darker side. There’s a reason that Sebastian is known as Pelican Town’s resident emo child.
