What it tells you

Lorelai finishes her business degree and Christopher sends a basket of graduation gifts, half of them jokes. Next to a savings bond and an army application sit a job-hunting guide and Nietzsche. The Annotated Gilmore Girls wonders how Christopher's girlfriend Sherry felt about the pearl necklace in there, a better question than anything in Nietzsche.
