"90 oz. of Ocean City sand in a nice bottle sounds perfect. Problem is she is pretty much impossible to buy a birthday gift for, I have no idea what to do there. More knick knacks doesn't work, and getting a new kitchen knife doesn't either. The required creativity is daunting."
Reply: "Can I also point out that 90 oz. of sand is 5.5 lbs.? (Think of a 5-lb. bag of sugar.) You might want to go with 90 grams since that amounts to 3.2 oz. and will fit easily in a small bottle."
