They’ll show the awkward plush keychain they bought at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf.

You’ll poke Mario’s belly. It is predictably soft.

11. Mario Themed Wine Stopper

Either way, you’ll probably want to pull out the Good Stuff for this date.

It’s the perfect thing to plug that $200 of wine you’ve been saving for this occasion, you wonderful romantic fool, you.

12. Mario and Co. Moustache Shot Glasses

You won’t want to finish all the Good Stuff in one go, however.

So, here’s a party game. Start up the original Mario, trade off lives and levels, take shots each time you die.

Congrats, it’s World 3 and you’re drunk.

13. Hand Painted Large Box of Awesome

Next thing you know, you’ve hauled out the best container, and you’re taking turns vocally reenacting this scene from Se7en:

“What’s in the baaaawks!”

Giggles are had. Winks. Nudges.

14. Action Figures From The Super Mario Movie

Inside the box is, in fact, your collection of awful action figures from the Super Mario Bros movie.

There was laughter, and then severe disappointment, remembering that the film existed.

But you knew how to cheer the two of you up.

15. Mushroom Touch Lamp

For some seriously sexy mood lighting, you bought this a few days ago.

16. Block Lamp

And this.

Both of which you offered to show them.

Mentioning that these things were in your bedroom.

There are too many jokes to be made here about mushrooms and things getting bigger and warp pipes, but… we’ll skip those.

17. 8-bit Mario Cutting Board

The next morning, making breakfast, you’ll mention how the board could only be better if they had used the Super Mario 2 Mario. Because of the veggies you’re dicing, see.

It doesn’t matter. You’re making them breakfast. On a Mario cutting board. It’s already the best day ever.

18. Mario Cat Hat

After that, it’s probably time to meet the animal family.

“Meet Mewrio.”

Mewrio says Mew.

You quickly mention that you hope they’re not allergic.

Luckily, they’re not. (Phew)

20. Super Mario Greeting Cards

You give them this card, and mention that sometimes it feels like you’ve accidentally taken the warp zone pipe.

They tell you that they love the card, and agree, saying:

“Life is like a warp pipe. A really good one.”

Warm fuzzies all around.

21. Painting of Mario and Luigi as Ghostbusters

They got you this - and don’t even mention that it cost them $1,200.

Worth it, every penny. That’s what they’re thinking.

See, I know this, because I’m Omniscient.

Omnomniscient.

The two of you munch on a box of these while you gaze out the hotel window, wishing the clouds had a few less pixels.

Perhaps there were two Marios - perhaps there were two Peaches.
