After breakfast Lorelai had just told them to put the plates in the sink, but Luke had insisted on rinsing them and putting them in the dishwasher.
"Come on Luke there are presents to open." Lorelai groaned.
"You can wait one minute Lorelai." Luke responded.
"When has she waited for anything?" Jess muttered.
"Hey be nice it's a holiday."
"Right I'm done." Luke walked into the room.
"Finally." Lorelai sighed.
"The big red one with the silver bow is for you Mom." Rory told her.
Lorelai grabbed the gift and pulled off the paper.
"A coffee maker." Lorelai smiled. "Always a good gift."
"This one is special." Rory said. "It has an alarm clock that either beeps or plays the radio and it starts making coffee three minutes before the alarm goes off so you wake up to hot coffee without having to get out of bed."
"Now that's the kind of coffee maker I need." Lorelai smiled. "Thanks hun."
"You do know that she won't get out of bed now." Luke pointed out.
"Don't comment." Rory told Jess.
"Okay."
"Green one is for you Jess and the blue one for Luke." Rory told him.
"You don't want open anything?" Lorelai asked.
"I'm going to have to go to the bathroom soon and I want to see them open them before they do."
Jess handed Luke Rory's gift.
Luke pulled off the paper and opened the box. He opened the box inside.
"Star Trek coins."
"Complete set in their original presentation box." Rory added.
"Where did you find these?"
"It's surprising what you can find on the internet."
"It's Rory thank you." Luke smiled.
Jess pulled the paper off his gift wondering what Rory had gotten him.
"For Whom The Bell Tolls." Jess read. "You got me Hemingway."
"First edition from the original print run too." Rory added.
"It must have cost a fortune."
"Like I said last night…"
"You know a guy." Jess finished for her. "Thank you." He gave her a kiss.
"Just don't expect me to read it. Now if you'll all excuse me. I'll be back." Rory pushed her self off the couch.
"You like them?" Lorelai asked putting hand on Luke's leg.
"It's great." Luke smiled. "She's obviously been very busy."
"It's the electronic age." Lorelai told him. "She's had them for a while."
"It's a good gift."
"And she knew what she wanted to get you too Jess."
"It's great. I've never had a first edition of something that wasn't modern." Jess read the blurb.
"It was either that or Farewell to something."
"Farewell to Arms." Jess supplied. "This is great."
"A coffee machine alarm clock is pretty cool." Lorelai said.
"My gift kind of goes with it." Jess stated.
"Now I'm intrigued." Lorelai smiled.
"Okay I'm back." Rory returned.
"Here." Jess handed her a gift. "It's from me."
Rory tore off the paper.
"Cooking for Dummies." She read from the cover of the book.
"I thought it would be a good place to begin."
"Thanks." Rory replied.
"Do you want to pass over her real gift before she hits me over the head with the book?" Jess requested.
"This one is from Jess." Lorelai put on gift bag on the table. "And this one goes with it and is from Luke and me."
Rory opened Jess's gift.
"A digital camera." Rory smiled. "Thank you."
"You're supposed to take lots of embarrassing pictures right?" Jess shrugged.
Lorelai and Luke had given her a printer to go with it and a memory.
"I want lots of pictures." Lorelai told her.
