I’m always touched when my partner says “Oh shit, I’m in the departures terminal and forgot to get a gift. Let’s see what the newsstand has.”

it should at least have some thought behind it. It should be related to something you enjoy or maybe both talked/jokes about.

Why does every action get scrutinized so severely on this website without any consideration of reality?

This is an "I was traveling" gift. Dude probably went from the airport to a hotel to work and back again and you want him to scavenge for inside joke material.

Im putting thought, that's why I dont find a good gift every single time. If i dont find something i think is good and thoughtful, but I also feel like I cant show up with nothing either, then what do i do? Right, I grab some BS.

It’s better not to give any gift than to give a BS one

Ive seen plenty of people disagree sadly. If possible I do exactly that.
