An odd case where reading the comments is worth it - this article about Andre Agassi wearing a wig in the 90's only took 25 comments to devolve into a raging flame war about Obama's place of birth (with a healthy side helping of racism and anti-semitism). Record derail!
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

So I think no chocolate, no wine or booze, no candy, no flowers nothing that could feel too personal. Something that shows appreciation for a good client but with no vibe. Given the circumstances I need to choose something that is really unambigous about being a gift for a good customer, and not overly personal.
I've sent cookie assortments to nice clients I am grateful for. Still yummy, but without any of the dating connotations of candy since it's more the sort of gift that grandmas send.

Gift certificates/gift cards were invented for a reason. However, Harry & David would also be practical and yummy.

“Not dead yet!”
I imagine she is also that cute in person.
That she is. Not to mention ridiculously personable.

We've given Cheryl's Cookie gift boxes and Harry & David stuff. They make GREAT corporate gifts.

Who decided it was a good idea to give stupid people internet access?
Liv had an epiphany last night. While out trick or treating with DH (it was pretty cold), she asked him why they were out asking other people for candy when we had a GREAT BIG BOWL of it at home.

Liv is smart. She should get all the age-appropriate internet access currently being abused by stupid people.

I had my first Vesper martini last night and I must say "Yum!". Also I learned a new card game called Slick that is oh so very fun and has an insane number of rules. Oh and it was fun not just because I won (pure luck).
Sadly, out in the Sunset where I was, we had only one TorTer. An adorable teeny tiny green bean.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There is a cat on my butt. Somewhat relatedly, I fear I may have to fart.
eta: OK, kitty got off my butt. I think she sensed something was up....
