Her character is a country girl in a small town that helps take care of her dad, and helps the townsfolk however she can. She runs a very successful and popular pastry/candy shop. It would be so easy to buy a bunch of cheap candy items and shove them in her TC but wanted to put more effort into it than that. Any ideas?

You could try buying some items that are part of the [link=https://subeta.net/collections.php/pastry]Pastry Collection[/link].

There are a lot of Valentine themed candies and cakes available at [link=https://subeta.net/ss.php/louis#/shop/2014]L'amour Parlor[/link].

[link=https://subeta.net/ss.php/esther#/shop/2023]Esther's[/link] has a couple of pastries and candies that are decorated with flowers.

It depends on the overall theme you want to go for. If you're looking for a lot of stuff that goes well with the color palette of your sweetheart pet, stuff from L'amour Parlor goes really well with that since it's mostly pink.

oh how cute!!! definitely recommending the recs above, plus the following!!

also, esther's has a ton of like, country-ish items including livestock related things!!

County Fair, perhaps? Maybe she volunteers to serve as a judge on the baking section?

The Veta Market items also come to mind, especially if she's going to be active in her small-town community.
