If it is truly based on sentiment, then you are the only one who is going to know the answer to this.

Make her something. I made a dozen origami roses for my wife one year before we got married. She loved it because it showed that I put a lot of effort into it.

Genius, actually - you're only on the hook once per year!

I got my girlfriend a stick of ram. She said, "What the do I do with this?" Women, eh? She keeps it in her purse as a reminder of our love.

Tell her you're getting her a pearl necklace and a facial.

A scrap book is def cheap, just takes time

Make her a card out of construction paper, crayons, and macaroni.

Do you mean computer memory or some ed-up backwoods jerky?

Those are pretty smooth, actually. Impressive.

If you're interested in cooking at all, you can go for the fancy night-in approach. Light some candles, set up the table nicely and cook her dinner one night. Less expensive than dining out, and more personal.

Get her one of those photo cubes and put all pictures of you guys together in it.

I just got this idea by watching TV (make sure to file the sharp edges down).

I'd work the goth angle and get her a silver cross on a necklace. Then I'd write her a poem and make an illustration like out of Heavy Metal magazine while listening to Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner. It works on British chicks, I'm telling ya.
