The best gift I can ever give is the pleasure of my company.

In seriousness though; she would probably just appreciate thoughtfulness; like making a special dinner or something along that order.

This is a good idea. Thanks!


I'm sure she already knows she is getting the most mediocre sex of her life.

Well you know stereotypes usually have some basis in reality.

Oh my God, Portland, how is "KALE" something you need to shout from a bumper sticker? If you want to actually be quirky; like make your own bumper sticker that says 'Syrup' or something.

The very clear and distinct lane of 'quirkiness' here is pretty self-defeating.

HOWEVER, perhaps there's some backstory to the kale stickers I'm unaware of. For instance I thought those yellow equals signs on a blue field were about fair trade for a shockingly long time. I used to laugh self-righteously when they were placed next to Apple stickers.
