You know exactly who this is. She said yes to the dinner two weeks ago, and somewhere around Thursday afternoon you got the text. Something came up. She's sorry. She'll make it up to you. She absolutely will not make it up to you, but she means it in the moment.
Here's the thing about this friend: she's not flaky because she doesn't care. She's flaky because her couch is very comfortable and the world outside it requires a lot of energy she doesn't always have. She loves you. She just loves you from her apartment, mostly. And she would be genuinely hurt to not be invited to the things she eventually cancels on, because being considered is different from having to show up.
The gifts that land for this person are the ones that meet her where she already is. Home. Comfortable. Slightly guilty about the last three times. Completely unashamed.

These celebrate the couch. The vibe. The entirely valid life choice of staying in. She'll appreciate that you get it.
