Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
She's not registered anywhere! She's quitting and moving to DC, not getting married. And seriously, she's in her 50s and going from a two-bedroom to a small one-bedroom, so I'm pretty sure Stuff would be the wrong way to go here.

Ah, shit. Of course I have! Sorry, you guys. I am just actually kind of concerned about this whole thing.

Thrive to spite them
I say go with the Giftcard. She can use it to treat herself to whatever she wants.
Or if she moves and realizes she downsized the wrong thing she can get a replacement.
When I left my job and moved I got gift cards and it was really nice. Especially when I kept discovering things I didn't think I'd need and didn't pack but then ended up needing anyway.

You know, that's the most persuasive non-anti-Comic Sans argument I've ever seen.
Sandwich question: Toasty crust an important part of club sandwiches y/y?
Exactly.
The outfit I'm wearing today hides my waist, makes my butt look flat and my breasts look kind of big. Also, it would be sartorially appropriate on a five year old. Yet, I like it.
Coworker? The missive against jewelled flip flops? Your shoes are bejewelled flip flops with heels. However, I'm wearing a mini skirt, so let's call it a wash.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks to Kat's link this morning, now whenever I eat something straight out of the can I can think "just like F Scott Fitzgerald! The rich really are different from you and me, buddy." Really classes up those cold raviolis.
