Shane is often cited as the easiest bachelor due to his love for Pepper Poppers (made with peppers from your farm) and his easy-to-find schedule, while Leah is a top pick for bachelorettes because she loves foraged items like mushrooms and salads, making her simple to please early on. Sam (Joja Cola, pizza), Harvey (coffee), and Alex (Field Snacks, Survival Burgers) are also considered easy for their readily available loved gifts, alongside Abigail (gems, amethyst) and Emily (gems) for the ladies.
Easiest are Leah, Sam, Shane, and Harvey due to all of them having loved gifts sold at the saloon every single day. Characters like Emily, Penny, Sebastian and Abigale are easier if you spend a lot of time in the mines to get some of their loved gifts.

The 2-2-2 rule for marriage is a guideline to keep a relationship strong and connected: have a date night every two weeks, a weekend getaway every two months, and a week-long vacation every two years.

Secret Note #19 in Stardew Valley is a treasure map that leads you to a hidden Solid Gold Lewis Statue behind Mayor Lewis's house, starting with a drawing of Jodi's house (1 Willow Lane) and a series of directional arrows to follow until you hit obstacles. Following these arrows, moving as far as possible in each direction (left, up, right, down, etc.), will guide you to the statue, which you can dig up with your pickaxe.

This means that the opportunity to obtain all four candles is extended beyond the initial two year evaluation.
