“I know I ate more beauty products, than I care to admit.” Applejack poked her muzzle into Rarity's private work studio gently, spotting her lovely marshmallow curled up in the corner pouting in silence.

“But you have to forgive me! It wasn't mah’ fault they were so delicious!” The copper mare nudged the door open slowly with her muzzle, walking inside with a warm smile.

“Hmph, I don't have to do anything!” Rarity flung her tiny snoot in the air with a pout.

“I'm very sorry. That's why I've gone and replaced everything!” AJ gave a soft squee, spinning around as she lifted up a large basket of gifts in her hooves.

Rarity blushed a bright pink her eyes sparkling like stars in the heavens, gaze falling upon the large wicker frame as her sturdy mare trotted over proudly. Applejack wasting no time in pulling out the gifts for the love of her life, Rarity clapping her hooves together in excitement.

“Oh, you are absolutely…” Rarity gazed down to a common plastic jar of honey in AJ’s hooves, her eyes widening in slight shock.

“Daww, you're worth it my gem!” AJ held out the jar of honey to Rarity who politely accepted.

“I…” She stumbled over her words.

“It was on sale too, 40% more in that jar for five bits!” The copper mare proudly spoke, puffing her chest floof outward.

AJ reached down as she picked up a huge jug of Mane N’ Tail hair treatment, it was at least sixty ounces and came with a sponge strapped to the side.

“Whoo-betty! This here beast was twenty bits, but the sales pony guarantees it'll keep you clean as a whistle!” The farm mare patted the top of the bottle softly as she held back a giggle.

“Oh, Applejack…” Rarity gave a tiny smile.

“On the bright side, I won't accidentally drink this one.” AJ gave a soft snort before pulling out a large plate of apple slices.

“Couldn't find them regeneratin’ cucumbers, so I sliced a few of mah’ best apples instead!” She held out the plate with pride, her green eyes glowing with a job well done as Rarity simply giggled.

Tears forming in her eyes as she took the plate and placed it down upon her worktable, leaning in close to her special somepony their muzzles nuzzling together softly. The snow white unicorn feeling as if she were floating on air, never had she been given such lovely gifts from the heart.

“You're the sweetest thing!” Rarity pressed her lips against AJ’s locking into a full passionate kiss, both melting into each other's embrace as the world stood still.

The copper mare giving a delicate sigh wrapping her hooves around her lovely partner, both soon lowering to the piles of soft silk and lace upon the floor enjoying the pleasure of company and the warmth of friendship.

Though these gifts were simple, they never had Rarity feel more beautiful.
