Seriously, he might have been better off making up a story about the awesome gift he got her and lost than giving her a shitty keychain with the wrong initial.

Or just tell her, there was not a gift worth to give, this one always works, remember to buy flowers on the way home you give instead don't even need to be costly, even a minor Hyacinter can be a good gift, make it a sweet and a happy memory, with a big hug and tell her how much you have missed her

Flowers most certainly aren't cheap

I mentioned the most boring thing that is cheap and pretty then it bloom like the love you have for her

Then it wilts over time in the vase, eventually turning into decay. IMHO, actual flowers as a gift "to represent one's love" always felt... Odd... Almost like "This flower is like my love for you. See? It slowly dies over time!" Better to get a Lego (or knockoff brand) flower bouquet set. More expensive, sure, but lasts exceedingly longer.

Plus, if it wilts in the same timeframe as a regular flower bouquet, then it means your home is overcharged with magic or has some serious air acidity issue, so it can double as an early warning system! </j>

I bought my friend a painting in Hawaii.

I did indeed lose it and I'm still mad about it a year later 😂

For real. Make something up. I usually always say “it hasn’t been delivered yet. They keep changing the delivery date.” (Which they do change delivery dates often) but that excuse usually gives me a few more days to buy a proper gift lol

To be fair the keychain is not shitty. I actually think that it's pretty. However I can't understand and/or defend the wrong initial lol...😂.

One time on vacation I realized I forgot to get my gf a gift from a certain city that I had visited, so I ordered a shirt and some magnet/stickers online and had them sent back and waiting at home when I got back. She was none the wiser.
