Uh...Sacramento? Have to offer? lol.
Well...memory serves...there's...
-those nice rice paper candies, imported from Japan, with the edible wrapper, come in a small rectangular box
-saltwater taffy - there's a candy store in Old Sacramento that sells it
-sourdough bread (if you get ship it priority and bag it tightly, it should remain good)
When I came here to Boston, I would be asked what kind of toast I wanted, and I would reply, "Sourdough". People always gave me funny looks. It is still incomprehensible to me that these people don't even know what sourdough is. Eventually I found some so-called "sourdough" at a farmer's market. I was ecstatic, but they warned me "it's not as strong as the sourdough you're used to". They were right - it tasted positively anemic.
More generally, things to see and do with your woman
(all of this is very, very cheap if not free, and offers diverse, well-adjusted entertainment)
-the Crocker Art Museum has a surprisingly nice collection of classical art, bought during the Gold Rush
-Old Sacramento is great fun for all ages
-the Railroad Museum, in Old Sacramento
-Sutter's Fort, and the nearby Indian Museum (a short drive from your place)
-Ancil Hoffman Park & Golf Course (a massive area that includes wild rasperries, old Indian settlements, remarkable woods with wildlife - you can wander for hours)
-CSUS Arboretum
-Cal Expo State Fair when the event is up (I recommend especially the agricultural exhibits)
-A very interesting flea market with lots of rare items south of the Watt Avenue bridge. If you can stand the smell, you'll love the cheap food, clothing, shoes (for both genders) and all sorts of interesting books and other items for sale. It is arguably the most cosmopolitan attraction in Sacramento. It will take you many months to fully search the barns.
-American River Bike Trail - I especially recommend the area around mile mark 18-20.
The bike trail can be accessed via the bridge across the American River from the campus.
If you have a free weekend, take your woman to Apple Hill in neighboring Rancho Cordova. Wonderful place in the springtime, great fun for all ages, all the apples you can pick and great food. Oh, and a lot of secluded makeout places.
I don't mind admitting I'm shamelessly trying to relieve my childhood through you, and act out my egoism by sharing the places and experiences that shaped my personality and worldviews. I guarantee you'll have fun, though.
Aestu of Bleeding Hollow... Nihilism is a copout.
