Date gifts

I love it when they marry in and bring crap like that. I had one marry-in who brought a poker table, two dance spheres, a DJ booth, and that $4,000 vase.
I was under the impression that it's only Mr.Big and Diva who marry in with several expensive items stuffed in their inventory. Apparently it's built in their NPC code. If you take out everything from their inventory, teleport them back out to the townie pool, then marry/move in them again, their inventory is magically filled with new expensive objects again.
That's of course when you're not taking OFB purchases into account. Like jsalemi, I have several old dormies/townies who have truckload of stuff in their inventory thanks to customer selector. I cannot imagine playing OFB businesses without it ever again. I was bored to death with the same small pool of customers (only playables and townies in the main hood) before I knew about it.

I married in a simself who had, among other things, not one but two cheap stoves in her inventory. A few have had hot tubs; none have had a Dance Sphere.

Mr. Big and the Diva DO move in with $70,000 and a crapload of expensive stuff in their inventories, but other Townies come pre-packaged with a bunch of goodies too. The last one I married in came with a piano, two Dance Spheres, an expensive telescope, a karaoke machine, and some knickknacks--and this was BEFORE I had any owned community lots for them to shop at.
I don't often get date rewards either. However, I did just get an Outing reward, except that the recipient has never been on an Outing, the gifter has never been on an Outing, and they do not, in fact, know each other at all. But, hey, free piano!

I have no Downtown, and haven't for the last two 'hoods. I don't see the point of it. Plus, I hate those stupid move-in phone calls. So I have no Mr. Big and no Diva. That means I never get the money on top of the inventory items, but free money is free money.
I also only have the two lots where townies can purchase items: the founder's greenhouse home lot, and the newly run car lot. Cannot wait for a sim to marry in with a couple vans in tow!
DrNerd, it kind of sounds like what I had a generation or two ago. The two sims had hung out on a community lot together, but it wasn't an outing.

I have the worst flippin' luck this way. I rarely do Outings, but sometimes I'll do them as an icebreaker for my college houses--"Let's all go out and buy cell phones! Whee!" This time the Outing was already running, so it was going to be successful, and when they ran into another Sim they knew slightly (a playable), my group invited him along. Successful Outing! Yes I can! Then the invited Sim asked the first Sim along for a return Outing and brought. . . his mother, his father, his grandmother, his grandfather, his fiance, and his drama professor. Yow, we could have had more fun scrubbing toilets (which my mean, neat Sims probably could.) No more Outings for us. Then later that evening the return invitee, Furious and much (unjustly) slapped, stopped by to leave an Outing Gift from the first Outing.
Gee, thanks for the, uh. . . .35 Simolean bud vase. And the sad bit is that it is the ONLY Outing Gift I've ever gotten.
There isn't anywhere a sim could buy stoves and stuff, but most of my sims have now got flowers, snapdragons (helpful!) several wedding cakes and birthday cakes, water wigglers, ice cream, and adorable stuffed bears in their inventories. The Tiki crap is bound to start showing up soon.
