Flowers. Candy. Jewelry. Electronics (maybe she's worn out her BlackBerry?) Clothes that don't fit or are the wrong color. Lingerie that doesn't fit and is the wrong color! An heirloom china vase from The Attic that gets smashed to pieces during the barrel rolls. Something painstakingly handmade that's really really awful, like a paint-by-numbers. A handsomely leather-bound edition of a book that Anthea really hated reading in school.

Taking along a shopping list that John's written and realizing that a) John has Doctor Handwriting, b) John uses convenient shorthand and nicknames for items, for instance "doolies" to refer to things like bite-sized ice cream snacks, or "lavatory goop" to refer to some kind of cleaning product, things like that, and finally c) Sherlock has no idea where in the store these things are located, and is reduced to wandering around completely lost.
