It's the least expensive item in our store and also a suitable gift for you, sir."

Glancing at the modest toy, Mia couldn't help but notice its simplicity compared to the lavish gifts Timothy had previously selected for Ginger. Without hesitation, Timothy picked up the toy and placed 50 dollars in cash on the table, declaring, "I'll take it."
