Sometimes you screw up, and you know it. Your girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse, roommate, sibling, parent, or partner in crime is mad at you, and with good reason. How better to say "I'm sorry" than with a heartfelt gift? Sometimes the gift is meant as proof of your sincerity... sometimes it may stem from a sense that just words aren't enough to make up for the wrong. Either way, when you give someone a gift as part of an apology, you're following a time-honored storytelling tradition. There are a few standard apology gifts that show up consistently in media of all times. For couples, flowers (particularly roses) are a standard gift for a man to give his romantic partner when he's done wrong. If someone has really screwed up (or has a lot of money to throw around), jewelry may be offered instead of flowers. Food is also a popular apology gift, especially homemade food, or in a romantic relationship, chocolate. But of course, there are other gifts that may be offered instead. A common gag based on this is a spouse being given a gift automatically assuming (often correctly) that their lover's about to admit to something serious. Compare Buy Them Off, in which the apology is not sincerely intended. If the screw-up is one of epic proportions and requires considerably more than roses or jewelry to make up for it, see Must Make Amends or Redemption Quest. |

In the second The Naked Gun movie, Frank brings a large bouquet of flowers when he arrives at his ex-girlfriend Jane's apartment to apologize for his behavior over the past few days—being a jerk to her new boyfriend, embarrassing her at a fundraiser, etc. True to the style of these movies, the bouquet gets caught in his car door, the door of the apartment building, the elevator door, until he's left with nothing but stumps by the time he arrives at her place. | |

Dexter: In season 4, when Rita is annoyed that Dexter doesn't spend time with his family, he buys them all presents. Astor gets a small laptop, Cody some video games, baby Harrison a geeky item of clothes, and Rita a home oven for baking bread. Dexter says they are always out of bread, but it only makes Rita angrier — she would have to bake it. She also thinks that presents cannot fix everything that is wrong in their relationship. In season 6, Dexter asks the clerk at the donut shop "What's good for an apology?" when he needs to patch things up with his sister. (FYI, the clerk recommended a cruller.) |

BURN THE WITCH: After Lila's true nature is revealed and Adrien is faced with just how destructive her deception was, he realizes that simply apologizing to everyone for "taking the high road" and refusing to warn anyone isn't going to be good enough. The rest of the class leaves it up to Rose, whom Lila tricked into donating to a Fake Charity, to decide what to do. She encourages him to make amends by helping with some real charity work, along with requesting an apology cake... and setting him up on a date with Marinette. | |

When she asks why he isn't asking her why she's pampering him like this, as it's not a special occasion, he calmly says "No, I'm just going to wait until you give me the bad news", having clearly deduced that she's doing this to butter him up. | |

Total Drama: At the campfire ceremony in "Heroes vs. Villains", Gwen brings Courtney flowers in hopes of setting the first step in being forgiven for kissing Duncan. But as it turns out, Courtney is allergic to those flowers and begins sneezing. Gwen is accused of doing it on purpose. The challenge in "Hurl and Go Seek" is to keep out of Sugar's reach until sunrise. Shawn knows of a cave that makes for a good hiding spot, but instead of using it himself, he offers it to Jasmine to apologize for hurting her earlier in "A Blast From the Past". Jasmine warily refuses the gift because she reasons that if she goes to the cave, Shawn will know where to find her if Sugar catches him and he becomes her helper. |

The Big Bang Theory: Episode "The Shiny Trinket Maneuvers"'s A-Plot revolves around Sheldon attempting to make up with his girlfriend Amy via "empty financial gesture" after he insults her work and devalues a career milestone she reached with his usual level of tact. At first Amy is entirely unimpressed with him for even attempting this, but then she opens up the bag and sees he got her a tiara. She switches gears and begins freaking out with glee. In one episode, Sheldon apologizes to Howard (Sheldon's responses to an FBI agent's questions led Howard to not get security clearance to work on a big project) by giving Howard his spot on the sofa, which he demands back again before the end of the episode. |

Ascendance of a Bookworm: After finding Myne unconscious in the temple's repentance chamber after having locked her in it for a day as punishment, Ferdinand gifts her a bedding set for her orphanage director chambers. There is a pragmatic element to it because only the wood part of the bed was left from the previous owner. By that point, Myne has already collapsed because of her poor health while in the temple too many times to be able to use the fact that she sleeps in her own home as a pretext for not having a proper bed in her chambers. After Rozemyne (Myne's noble identity) collapses while trying to keep up with Wilfried's impromptu "Ditch the Bodyguards 101" lesson that involves a lot of running, Wilfried's bodyguard Lamprecht feels responsible for the situation. When Rozemyne wakes up, Lamprecht gifts her with a book she will be able to finish before the end of the period during which she's expected to rest, which was given to him by Ferdinand when he asked him for advice on what would make a good gift for Rozemyne. |

M*A*S*H: In one episode, Hawkeye and Trapper try to butter Frank up with a handful of wildflowers, after they secretly drew a pint of blood from him to give to a wounded POW; Frank is touched, but then they kill the moment when Hawkeye says, "Glad there's no hard feelings, Frank, because there's a new heart procedure we'd like to try, and you're just the right type." During a company picnic, Margaret gives Frank the cold shoulder since he won't loan her money to buy her sister a wedding present; Frank tries to butter her back up with a balloon, only for her to pop it with a hairpin. In another episode, Frank tries to make peace with Margaret (this after she had gotten engaged earlier in the season), by presenting her with an American-made Japanese umbrella; of course, Frank isn't able to curb his lust, and Margaret throws it at him as he runs out of her tent. In "The Winchester Tapes", Charles apparently had upset Radar, and insincerely brings him an entire case of grape nehi to butter him up in order to contact his former commanding officer to get him transferred back to Tokyo General Hospital. |

In Malcolm in the Middle, after Lois and Hal miss Dewey's big performance in the school play, they try to buy his forgiveness, first by giving him a new video game. When that is not enough, Hal gives him Malcolm's birthday present, a rare, and expensive, comic book. When Dewey ponders forgiving Hal and Lois, he walks back to his room to read his new comic and play his new game, and wishes Malcolm a happy birthday as he and Reese do menial labor around the house as part of their punishment for engaging in a fight that landed them in the hospital. | |

In The Good Place, Michael tries to make it up to Team Cockroach for disrupting their ethics lessons, he gets each person their own gift: a shrimp dispenser for Eleanor, the world's largest diamond for Tahani, a Pikachu balloon for Jason, and a copy of one of Immanuel Kant's never-seen-on-Earth notebooks for Chidi (the ethics professor). While most of them are happy with their gifts, Chidi doesn't even look at the notebook before throwing it in the trash. He bluntly calls it bribery and demands (and gets) an actual apology. The others love their gifts. | |

Emma. (2020): Emma brings a basket with food to Miss Bates after she carelessly insulted her at the Boxhill picnic. In the book, it's only mentioned that she immediately went to visit her the following day. Emma goes to Mr Martin to make amends after she realizes that she was wrong to persuade his love Harriet to refuse his marriage proposal. She brings him a basket with a goose and a picture of Harriet which Emma painted. It's a hint that Harriet still loves him and it also means that Emma herself approves of their match now. |

He advises that you must bring a gift, but keep in mind that anything you bring will probably be thrown at you in anger, which he learned the hard way after apologizing with a waffle iron. He suggests flowers instead since they're a standard romantic gesture and won't hurt. | |

(Unbeknownst to him, Lan Wangji didn't believe that he'd stay dead and so decided to wait for him instead.) Lan Wangji then gives him a lantern and starts showering him with gifts, which is implied to be his way of apologising for not sending any offerings all those years. | |

In The Demon Girl Next Door, Yuko sends Momo an indirectly-phrased challenge letter calling her out for a duel, which Momo interpreted as asking her to go out and have fun for the afternoon. When Momo shows up in a breezy summer dress, Yuko grudgingly apologizes for the misunderstanding, goes out shopping with Momo, and buys her a pair of black hairclips. Yuko then puts the hairclips on Momo while gloating that she's finally managed to turn some small part of her to darkness. Momo never wears her old iconic pink hairclips again. | |

In Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues, Barbra's mother convinces her to apologise to Jacob for not doing much to help him after he slipped in vomit. She shows up to school the following day with a cupcake for him, which only stresses him out more because his own mother ordered him not to speak with Barbra. | |

In New Game!, Umiko is introduced informing Aoba that some of the NPCs she made had bugs, and complaining about how graphics designers only care about appearances. After leaving, Umiko realizes she went too far, and offers Aoba a spent shotgun shell as a gift. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): In "Like Angels Put in Hell by God", after Louis de Pointe du Lac barely survived a violent thrashing from his boyfriend Lestat de Lioncourt, the latter attempts to buy the former's forgiveness with expensive gifts, such as an extremely rare 15th-century antique book and a brand new Rolls-Royce. For over six years, this strategy is unsuccessful because Louis continues to ignore him, but Lestat then switches gears and records a love song entitled "Come to Me" that he penned himself. (In Real Life, it was composed by Daniel Hart and sung by Sam Reid.) Louis receives it on Valentine's Day, and it finally provokes the reaction that Lestat had yearned for because Louis takes him back after a heated bout of hate-sex. | |

Shows up a couple of times in Spongebob Squarepants: At the end of "Jellyfishing": To make up for getting Squidward injured even further (and zapped by a gigantic queen jellyfish), SpongeBob and Patrick give him a jar with the jellyfish he captured. Squidward responds by releasing the jellyfish to let it chase after SpongeBob and Patrick, stinging them all the way. Granted, they weren't tormenting him on purpose, but he still has every right to be angry at them. In "Squidville", SpongeBob and Patrick went to find Squidward in Tentacle Acres while bringing a cake which the word "sorry" was engraved with frosting as compensation for having destroyed his house, although they never actually give him the cake as both can't tell which of the Squidward-like characters is the real Squidward. "Good Neighbors" had SpongeBob and Patrick giving Squidward a similar "Sorry For Bugging You So Much" cake as an apology for ruining Squidward's relaxing Sunday. But Squidward, under the impression that their apology is just a facade that they will mess with him again, refuses to accept it, so the situation only got worse. |

The Punisher (2017). Micro panics when the cameras he's hidden in his wife's house go dead, so Frank Castle goes to investigate (Micro can't go as he's faked his death to protect his family). As an excuse for visiting, Frank brings flowers as an Apology Gift for not turning up for dinner like he promised. Unsurprisingly she mistakes this for a romantic overture and makes a pass at him. | |
