Some things I like:

• face masks
• bath bombs (Lush is great for this)
• lip scrubs
• manicures and doing my nails (I like to soak my hands and use cuticle cutters and pushers to clean up the nails, nail clippers and files, etc. to shape and clean up the nail, then I usually do a typical varnish, but the equipment to do gel nails would be nice if she's into that).
• I like to use scented candles when taking baths (I love Frostbeard's Reading at the Cafe candle, which smells like chocolate pastries)
• epsom salts are also great for baths, and there are quite a variety of these now (as well as magnesium bath bombs)
• a basin to put hot water and epsom salts in for soaking the feet can be really nice, too (helps with pedicures to soak the feet, too)
• I've heard good things about those paraffin wax baths, but I don't personally use them at home
• if you are into it, you could get some massage oil and offer to give a massage

A lot of things like eye creams can be sorta expensive and if she doesn't have a go-to for a daily routine already, it might be a way to treat her by leveling up or giving her extra skin care products she might want normally but goes without (but I can't help but think this would require some conversation to know what she would want exactly - I don't know how crucial it is that the gifts are a surprise).

Depending on where you are, it also takes some effort and coordination to ensure you register to vote, verify you are still registered by the deadline, and to ensure you understand what will be on the ballot before you show up and have the necessary documents when you get there. I do live in a place the Heritage Foundation considers high in "election integrity", so they made a lot of barriers to vote where I am, and I could theoretically get why busy people have a hard time prioritizing it.

honestly number of bites in a sandwich sounds like a volume measurement, so cubic centimeters or litres would be metric units used for this

yeah, I guess it's a bit of an unexpected part of the title, lol

OK, but that doesn't sound like the "first good thing" that came to your mind when reading the question. Just sounds like the first thing you thought.

It's not that simple, unfortunately. Even if you were concerned about the impact of using an adblocker, the ads are not like billboards, merely visual distractions, but rather ads now include invasive tracking and surveillance, and other malicious code that can freeze or make a website unusable. Ads often create an accessibility nightmare for some users. They also tend to use up data, making the internet less accessible to those in third world countries where internet access is slow and large data are a bigger problem.

There have been some half-hearted attempts to create standards for advertisements, but the reality is that greed has always undermined attempts for the private sector to self-regulate on this issue, so short of some kind of legislative action to curb these problems, you are going to get people trying to protect themselves with adblockers.

A lot of scenes are just thinly veiled commercials - why are we spending so much time looking at the front of a brand-new car the characters are getting into? It's always awkward and takes away from the scene.

The question: "What is the first good thing that comes to mind when reading this question?".

I have a friend who hates calzones and finds them offensive. I don't particularly love calzones, but I'll send a photo whenever I eat one just to keep the hate alive.

yeah, destroying marketing materials seems reasonable; destroying food because you know hungry people will eat it is evil.

That's great (re the citywide composting)! Companies cite fear of a lawsuit as an excuse not to donate food. Of course the reality is that they're just protecting profits, no one has ever been sued from donating food as far as I know, and as you mention there is a law specifically prohibiting doing so.

I've heard of many places where it's illegal to give food out to people.

Where I live there is no composting, the city barely recycles even.
