I’m an asshole. Doing something nice is an asshole move, but doing nothing is an also an asshole move. It’s a lose-lose scenario for an asshole like me. Really shouldn’t even be on this planet

    Flowers. Or a little potted plant. But yeah cut flowers are the traditional gift.

    A picture book for her kids, so she can read to them. Or a board game, to play with them.

    Someone gave me a usb stick with a few kindle books on it one time, that was nice.

    A flowery handkerchief or scarf is always a nice gift for a woman who has everything, I never dislike getting one. I have pretty handkerchiefs in my glasses case to clean them with. Better than scratching them with a tissue, and nice to look at too.

      A friend once made a “mixtape” on a USB stick. Instead of mixing music tracks it contained whole albums. The girl he gave it to exclaimed “A USB stick! How nice!”

      So make sure to let them know that the contents are the gift.
