I began my quest for the perfect present systematically, by writing a list of her interests. I hoped that it would spark something.
M likes:
- candy
- low-flush toilets
- Lola, her cat
- getting her driver's licence picture re-taken because the first take makes her look "too eager"
- getting her passport picture re-taken because the first and second takes make her look "kinda shiny"
- giving me dirty looks when I accidentally let out a tiny belch
- practicing my signature
- those bags of little carrots (and by extension, making orange fangs out of said carrots)
And so on, and so forth. As you can see, I don't have a lot to work with. This is a lot of pressure. How am I suppose to top that bottle of spray-on salad dressing she gave me for my last birthday so I could learn more about "portion control"? At least I still have a few days. (I think? It's not next month, is it?)
Cat food and catnip, for Lola. She's easy to buy for. (Yes, I repeat, catnip.)

Are you sure that's not Coco Puffs and big bag o' weed?
That's a very systematic way of determining an appropriate present H. Plus, it gives us insight into M's character.
If you can't think of something practical, how about something sentimental? BEWARE: If it involves a picture of M, she'd better not look like a shiny, eager bitch, or she won't accept it!
Good luck,
Dr X
P.S. Pass the catnip! :)
I admire your commitment to both your sister and your stories.
Money is good.
Also, your little burps are never accidental. Ha!
Boy H, I think your idea of the apple would work but of course now that M is not coming to visit you may want to reconsider
