You can always buy ready-made dishes from the Saloon such as pasta, pizza and stuff as well as pick up stuff from the ground, "foraging". And some people like mining stuff such as the stones (jade, ruby etc.)
As for the guides, they simply tell you which one is love>worst (best to worst gifts and neutral ones). Really avoid giving the bad/worst one cause they can lower the friendship.
For example Penny;
She
loves certain wares that gives the most points toward friendship such as diamonds, sunfish etc. but easier more general likes are dandelions, eggs, saloon food and stuff gives a little less points but still does it for increasing friendship. There are also general likes/loves lists with a few exception.

I mostly use this page for guides and stuff when it comes to gifts and stuff.
And once you get the watering can and hoe from Clint's shop you can buy seeds for growing crops outside, buy as many as you can afford and don't forget to water them.
