Oh my god are you--

- I'm not gonna propose. - Are you gonna propose to me?

- I'm not gonna propose.

(French style music)

Hi, I'm Aria. - I'm Merle.

- And we are. - We're dating.

(inhaling loudly)

(laughing)

(swing music)

- Merle's middle name, Shane. - Correct.

- [Producer] Does Aria have a middle name?

- Edouard.

- Yes, that is pronounced that way

because it's spelt the French way.

- E-D-O-U-A-R-D.

(high five)

(swing music)

- Oh she loves ramen.

- His favorite food is this pasta with clams.

- Pasta alle vongole.

- I made a vegan version of it recently.

- It was fantastic.

(swing music)

- In your downtime? - Yeah.

- Feel like you like to watch movies, and nap.

- Mhm, she loves to hike.

- True.

(swing music)

We actually both have the same favorite band.

- We both love Queen.

- Yeah, today we basically we organize

these little mystery boxes.

We only had a hundred dollars each

to surprise each other with.

So we're gonna go ahead and open those up.

I think yours is gonna be better, I'm nervous.

- No, no.

- You're hopeless, hopeless romantic.

- You're a great gift giver too.

- I wanna go first is what I'm saying.

(upbeat music)

- Okay so back when Merle and I first started talking

at the office we would exchange a lot of notes.

One of the notes that Merle sent to me

after we started dating was both,

kind of cute but quite raunchy too.

And for a while I've been meaning

to frame it and give it to her.

- Okay, I know this is like, the whole point of this

is to be really sweet and gift giving and sincere.

But, kinda feel like I'm going

against Santa Claus right now.

- I'm right now at a Thai sweet shot

where Merle and I like to get some snacks.

These are really good, they are layer cakes, vegan.

I grew up in Thailand eating these all the time.

I introduced them to Merle, and she's addicted to them.

- I found this disposable camera.

Aria and I are going on a trip to Joshua Tree this weekend,

so I figure this would be the perf little,

perfect little gift I don't say perf.

It's fine if you do.

- All right, I saw Merle going to a shirt store.

I think she's planning on buying me a shirt.

Which means she's actually gonna

be the one wearing the shirt.

She likes to steal my property.

I think I'm gonna buy this Bowie shirt,

because then she can still wear my Queen shirt.

All right, 'cause she loves David Bowie.

- Okay, so the second thing I got for Aria

is this adorable little Freddie Mercury pin.

Because Queen is both of our favorite band,

and we bonded over that when we fist met.

So one of the first videos Aria and I did together

was friends compare what's in each other bags.

And I had a pair of underwear in my bag.

Oh, oh my god.

(laughing)

Figured it was only fitting that he has to reveal

something similarly intimate.

- Okay, I quickly popped into the liquor aisle,

because I'm here looking for a very specific thing

called Underberg.

It is a German natural herb bitter,

and the reason why I'm buying this

for Merle and I is because there's a little bit

of a story behind it.

- I found a real score here, $1.50,

I got these llama socks.

- One of the things I bought online for Merle

that just arrived is anti snore chin strap.

It's not for her, it's for me.

Because this poor woman has to endure me snoring.

The last thing I ordered for Merle online

was something a little bit more meaningful I think.

Shortly after I started dating Merle officially,

unfortunately her cat passed away.

And it was an old cat name Reese,

and Merle had her cremated.

Merle's always mentioned since then

how she's always been kind of unsure

what to do with the ashes.

One idea that Merle has brought up in the past

is maybe even putting Reese's ashes in a necklace.

I found a necklace online where you can put ashes inside.

- Okay, another score.

I found this Schrute Farms shirt, and Aria loves The Office.

Okay, I have circled back, I'm gonna get him

this Dunder Mifflin shirt.

Hello it's me the indecisive lady,

and I've gotten even more indecisive

since the last time we chatted.

I now found this Michael Scott Paper Company shirt

and I think this is the winner

because we always said that we were Michael and Holly

over Jim and Pam, even though we saw

people saying that they thought we were Jim and Pam.

But we're totally Michael and Holly

because they're (beep) weird.

Okay so the last couple things I got

are these stickers, these glitter stickers.

This puzzle, Aria was saying that he wants to do a puzzle.

Okay, and on a sentimental note,

I got this blow dryer because Aria

actually believe it or not takes longer

to get ready in the morning than I do.

- Look at that.

Look at that beautiful headshot.

That's worth a lot more than 100 dollars.

This is a limited edition head shot

that I took when I was 17 years old.

I've left Merle a note to thank her

for her support and I think it's a great little gift,

something that she'll really cherish.

(celebratory music)

- All right it's time to swap.

So I'm gonna go first.

Reusable, I wanted to use something reusable.

- So I'm rifling my hand in here.

(laughing)

I know what that is.

- [Both] Altoids.

- The reason why I'm assuming you've given this to me

isn't because you think I have bad breath,

but because when we spend the night at each others places,

in the morning sometimes we want a little morning smooch.

And we like to pop one of these bad boys in.

- More specifically Aria's very, very keen

on always having mints around.

- Sometimes, you know.

This is a woman that loves her garlic.

- Open it though, open it.

(laughing)

I do love my garlic.

(record scratching)

(gasps)

They're significant dates.

(cries)

- That's very sweet.

This is our anniversary, our first kiss.

- You don't need to go through all of these.

I feel like that's gonna take a long time.

- This is the day I told her I loved her.

- Yeah, that's true.

- [Producer] What day is it?

- January sixth. - Move on.

(gasps)

- Puzzles, I love puzzles.

You got a lot of big things in here, hefty.

Oh, this is great, to style my hair.

My hair is a pain in the ass.

For some reason, she doesn't have one of these at her place.

- I don't dry my hair.

- So I usually have to haul mine over to hers.

But now, this can be permanently there.

Stickers, okay this I can't--

- That's just for fun.

(laughing)

- Okay, (mumbles).

- I thought we could put them on while we're doing this.

- What in the world is this?

- Ohh.

(laughing)

You know why.

- The reason why is because in one of the,

I think the very first video we were in together

that wasn't one of ours, I think a couple of men and women

compare each others bags.

And at the very top of hers,

the first thing she pulls out of her bag

are a pair of panties.

- It was by accident. - A completely accident.

It looks almost staged.

So this is a little bit of an inside joke.

- An homage.

- And then, awe this is very sweet, socks.

There's actually two layers to this then actually.

They're llamas, she says I have llama eyes.

Either way though, the other layer to this

I'm assuming is because we have--

- Sock wrestling matches.

- (mumbles) Anyways.

Very sweet, Michael Scott Paper Company.

We all love The Office.

- We always say that we're Michael and Holly,

not Jim and Pam 'cause--

- People in the comments say Jim and Pam.

- Come on, Jim and Pam are kind of bland.

We're weird and fun.

Yeah.

- You have a Kodak, oh--

- [Merle] For this weekend.

- For a trip.

And we got a pin here.

Oh a Freddy pin, that's very cute.

We just talked about how much we love Queen.

I'm very happy, this is wonderful.

- You can go through more.

- The sweetest one was the first one I opened.

Funny how that works out.

So, I'm going to--

- [Merle] Is this like in protest?

- For one, yes, reusable, recyclable.

- I would encourage you use a reusable like a cloth bag.

- Yes, yes.

- Can I just reach in?

- Yeah you can just reach in, reach in.

(gasps)

This is very valuable.

- This is Aria's head shot that he sold

at like an adult film convention or something.

- [Aria] Correct.

- In a video that he did.

- And in Turkey.

- Are you 14 years old?

- I'm 17.

- Oh my god. - Submitted this to Glee.

- Look at how ferocious.

Okay, an anti snore chin strap,

because Aria, what a dream boat,

but let me tell ya this man can wake an entire house up.

You gotta put it on, put it on.

What is this?

Oh my god wait, this is from the day

we got drunk together after the cocktails.

Yeah, yeah, I saw what you did there.

(shaking cocktails)

- They're bitters. - Bitters?

- Yeah, they're quite strong.

- They were like equivalent of a shot I think.

- Yeah, pull it out.

- Are we gonna do one?

- Yeah let's do it.

- Oh maybe that's right, I'm never gonna make you wear that.

Cheers.

- What's the alcohol content?

44%.

- [Merle] That's a shot.

(clicking bottles)

(coughing)

- I don't like that.

Very strong.

(taking off mask)

- Awe, oh.

(laughing)

- One of the notes that Merle sent to me
