You can definitely gather the tinder from outside, don't buy this. Just get a handful of pencil sized sticks and wrap it up with some twine. Just make sure it's dry (not green / wet).
Zippo's are okay, but torches and even bic lighters are more valuable for actual fire starting.

Maybe a map for your local area. It would go well with the compass and maybe encourage you all to get out and hike a trail.
National Geographic has many options.

Headlamp is valuable. 'to see your love' or whatever.

Duct tape is fun. It comes in lots of different colors and is versatile for all sorts of adventures.

First Aid Kit is more practical - but if you are being corny - you could say 'in case of broken heart' or something.
I had a problem that the fuel in my zippo evaporated too quickly. Now I just have a Firesteel. Combined with the alcohol hand sanitizer I also carry, I have a pretty reliable firestarter. The Firesteel will also light propane if you're careful.
Also, /r/VEDC is a thing.
