It's Christmas time:
1. Buy her the chocolates,
2. Keep the tray.

He remove the screws from my laptop and put them in the indentions. I asked him about the tray and he said it was an escargot tray. I was so impressed that I went to my local kitchen store (bed bath and beyond carrys them too) and got a couple...this is the best thing I've ever used for keeping small parts and screws safe.
