Well I think you will definitely get some suggestions from this thread, but come the beginning of next year start keeping a secret list. Everytime she says something like "Oh I like that..." or "that would be nice to have" go write it down. You can decide later if she really did or didn't. She will also be amazed you remembered something she said 8 or 9 moinths previous. Does she collect anything you could add to? How about Bath and Bodyworks if your mall has one? Digital camera? Magazine subscription for something she's interested in.

I usually get her one gift certificate for one of her favorite stores, and a special bag for taking a bottle of wine for those small BYOB restaurants they have here in NJ, she's into roosters so I hit antique and art stores in search of same
