I need a gift Idea for a friend...?

Q. I am 19 year old male.
She is a 36 (turning 36) year old female.
Might seem like an unlikely relationship but its really not. She is wikid cool and i enjoy hanging out with her. Her birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to get her. We go to the same school ( I am undergrad and she is graduate). We play ping pong together a lot ( I already bought her a ping pong paddle for Christmas).
I just need to get her something thoughtful, At most 50 bucks maybe more if that thing is really good.
I would like to be thoughtful and the gift card is not thoughtful enough.
And a poem is waaaay to cheesy.
I guess I failed to mention that she is married...so underwear of any kind would be considered very inappropriate... FUNNY, but inappropriate none-the-less.

A. Buy her some perfume if you know what kind to get. A headset or webcam. Lingerie.


Teen party prize ideas?

Thank You!

Delicious chocolate cake recipes?
Q. Hello, my boyfriend's birthday is coming up and I'm planning on baking him a cake. He is a HUGE chocolate fan so I know I want to bake him a chocolate cake. The thing is, I don't want to bake any old regular cake, I want it to be special, and something SUPER rich in chocolate. It can have something in it that isn't chocolate as well, but mostly just chocolate. Nothing to extravagant though because I'm not the best baker...

Anyways does anyone have an extra special chocolate cake recipe or even just something different from the ordinary? Links, names of cakes, or even recipes themselves would be great, thank you! :)

Also, anyone have any good ideas for a good gift for a 19 year old male? From his girlfriend of course. Any suggestions would help!

Thank you again. :)
