My school did the carnation-o-gram bit. The tacky bouquet was from an actual florist (or grocery store, I don't recall) and was because I'd been bitching about how much I hated the carnation deal after I'd gotten forced into selling them. I suspect I'd been ranting about it for weeks. So my dear, dear friends decided to torment me more.
Hermanos! The devil has built a robot!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Today is two years with Bob. Our first date was on V-Day (a bad idea at the time, but makes things awfully efficient now) and his birthday is tomorrow. So I only have to buy one annibirthentines day gift, but I think Bob is getting an iPod.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's just like having a kid near Christmas and combining presents. AKA mean. Buy him three things! I insist upon it.

That is quite efficient!
Which reminds me, I have to go wish someone happy birthday...

I don't know what our HS did. I never had a girlfriend in HS (lots of asking out, lots of rejection), so the issue never came up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I asked out maybe three or four girls in HS, none of whom went out with me. But a girl asked me out, and we ended going out together for a year and a half. She originally asked me out to make her boyfriend jealous.
Ahh, high school romance....

Well, then, he'll get three thirds of an iPod.
Actually, I'm sure we'll have dinner and I'll also get him a book or something. I think you can get away with one extravagant gift rather than three littler ones.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
but is it a diamond iPod?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I think an iPod could heal any mega-gifting wounds. Of course, I love mine so much I'm half-convinced it could heal flesh wounds too.

If I only had a brain...
My engagement was an aquamarine, which is the same stone as an emerald.
It chipped under the setting. One the one hand, the setting was probably too tight, but on the other aquamarines are chippable.
