As the presiding mayor of Pelican Town for several years, Lewis's public dedication to peace and order masks a private man with specific tastes. Increasing his friendship level requires an understanding of his preferred gifts and interests. So, keep reading this Stardew Valley Lewis Gift Guide to build a meaningful relationship with this key character.

Lewis: The Mayor

For over two decades, Lewis has been the steadfast mayor of Pelican Town, the village where many NPCs reside in Stardew Valley. His distinguished mustache and ever-present influential attire make him a recognizable figure among villagers. He’s a dedicated public servant often found making rounds around the village, quietly ensuring the community retains its quaint yet lovable charm. Underneath his official demeanor lies a man of distinct habits with a slight touch of vanity. Stardew Valley players may frequently find this village official meticulously watching the town square, ensuring its tidy appearance. Lewis also has a fondness for hot coffee, as evidenced by his home, where his beloved mug is next to a note from "M." Although occasionally flawed, Mayor Lewis is the beloved cornerstone of Pelican Town. At his core, he cares for his citizens, regardless of the time they arrived in Stardew Valley. His steadfast leadership, gentle guidance, and warm, welcoming personality helped him successfully preserve Pelican Town's small-town charm and identity.

Preferred Gifts of Lewis in Stardew Valley

As with other Stardew Valley NPCs, players can gift Lewis up to two items per week. An additional gifting opportunity opens during his birthday on Spring 7, allowing players to present the Pelican Town Mayor with another item. Remember, gauge Lewis's responses to check if he loves, likes, dislikes, or hates a particular item. The replies to watch out for are the following:

• Love: “Wow, this is my favorite! Thank you!”
• Like: “Thanks, this is great!”
• Neutral: “That's very nice of you. Thanks.”
• Dislike: “Well, I guess it's the thought that counts...”
• Hate: “This makes me sick. What a horrendous gift.”

Lewis's Heart Events

Mayor Lewis is one of the non-marriageable NPCs in Stardew Valley. Nonetheless, heart events can still trigger during specific friendship levels, starting at Friendship Level 3.

Three-Heart Event

Lewis sends you the recipe for Spaghetti in the mail. Simply receive the recipe to complete this instance.

Six-Heart Event

Upon reaching Friendship Level 6 with Mayor Lewis, enter Pelican Town between 7 PM and 11 PM on a sunny day. A cutscene should trigger, showing the player catching (SPOILER ALERT) Lewis and Marnie in an intimate relationship. Lewis catches you and asks if you heard anything. Then, two on-screen options appear:

• +50 Friendship: “Yes… but I’ll keep it a secret.”
• -100 Friendship: “Yes… and I’m going to tell everyone.”

Seven-Heart Event

The seventh and final heart event from Lewis is like his three-heart instance. However, this time, he’ll send you the recipe for Eggplant Parmesan in the mail. Again, receive the recipe to complete the event.
