What Does Alex Like in Stardew Valley? Alex Gift Guide

Seafood and breakfast are always on the menu!

The inhabitants of Stardew Valley are an important part of what makes the experience so magical. One character with a pretty particular attitude is the arrogant jock, Alex. With a hardened facade and backstory of parents that disappeared, Alex is more complex than meets the eye. He’s also one of the 12 characters in-game that players are able to eventually marry, having successfully wooed him. If you did have intentions of marrying this cocky sports player, we’ve got a great gift of what Alex in Stardew Valley likes and even a couple he loves. We’ll also go over some things he does not like so that you can avoid those as well.
