[ Still, anything is better than nothing. Getting her a fish would likely be tired without proper research, given the woman must be around them all day...right? Anne's never been to an 'aquarium' but it sounds like aquarius and he said fish, so she can figure that much out on her own. ]
If you could find a book on exotic fish, that might be of interest to her, though it is rather specific. Jewels are a safer gamble regarding many. But why not craft a gift using one of your trades? If there is wood about, could you not attempt a small sculpture or box? Is there not enough time?
[ Jesse goes quiet. Stunned, utterly taken off-guard silence. If Anne could see him via video feed right now, she would see Jesse has gone a little pale, too. ]

I cannot wear this gown to any gathering without first cleaning and drying it, and I have yet to discover the most appropriate shop to purchase anything new.

Shit. What else does this woman know about him? ]
