For some reason, women love symbolism. Flowers, Teddy Bears, poetry, sad songs, ears and the like all fair much better as gifts than more useful items like anti-snoring mouthpieces, edible lingerie and home-made 140 proof moonshine.
There’s really no reasoning behind it, but keep in mind that a well written tweet or a carefully designed piece of ASCII art will be much more impressive than pretty much anything you can find at Walgreen’s 10 minutes before you meet her for dinner.
