Maybe 2 hours later, my g/f is looking at FB on her phone, and what appears in her feed? An ad for the exact same lamp!

HTF does that happen?? It couldn't have been a coincidence.
My first guess is that you both use the same internet at home, right? So your gateway ip would be the same, and they might be using that ip address to link you.
