The loved crop (Grape) can't be grown from seed by Spring 10; harvest one in Fall and keep it in a chest, since crops never spoil.

Other Spring birthdays, so one trip can cover several: Kent (Spring 4), Lewis (Spring 7), Haley (Spring 14), Pam (Spring 18), Shane (Spring 20), Pierre (Spring 26), Emily (Spring 27).

Gifts to avoid

Vincent hates Clay, Piña Colada, Triple Shot Espresso and Wild Horseradish, and All Artisan Goods (except Honey, Jelly & Oil) (-40 each), and dislikes Dandelion, Ginger, Hazelnut, Holly, Leek, Quartz, Snow Yam and Winter Root, and All Eggs; All Fruit (except Coconut, Grape, & Fruit Tree Fruit); All Vegetables (except Hops, Tea Leaves, & Wheat); All Mushrooms (except Red) (-20).
