If she wears jewellery or suchlike a bangle. It’s personal and unobtrusive and says ‘special’. Don’t get anything written on it

Why not find an interesting bourbon and buy her a bottle (with two glasses if you've got the $)? I wouldn't, however, suggest you share it. Let her make that suggestion.

She will love whatever you give her. Women love gifts!! I know I do!!!

Does she have a wish list on Amazon? Things that are a big no-no: lingerie, appliances, (unless they're on her Amazon wish list) or perfume (again, unless you know for a fact she wants a specific scent.) If you get jewelry, a simple pendant of some sort is nice, or an elegant chain. Don't buy a ring unless you are ready to negotiate a change in the relationship. and NO, repeat NO, homemade "coupons!"

Add some stocking stuffers like DVD's of Monty Python, Mr Bean and such.

Think about something that celebrates the two of you...something to remind her of how you met, or a special place you visited together, or even a great conversation you two had.

That or get her candles LOL. I recommend Yankee Candle out of Deerfield MA because they're soooooooooooo perfect!

I have a few ideas as few ideas considering some of the things you mentioned are very near and dear to my heart. You will have to do a little home work to see if she is already has of been exposed to them and if she is into the things you says she is she should be familiar if not already into them. My ideas concern the First go to the British and SciFi. Douglas Adams- "Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy" Series, ask how much she knows about that. If she is a fan or if she is interested you can expand by betting her more of that (5 books in series) AND "Salmon of Doubt" his final work a must for (posthumous) avid fans also "Dirk Gently -Holistic Detective Agency" , all Adams, all British humor and Science Fiction AND Totally AWESOME. Also top shelf whiskey and bourbon mini samplers are always a good go to. Bullieit. Jack Daniels, Around Christmas i always see 4 or 6, there are rarely a bad one to be found and most have a special holiday minis that are only available once a years.

• GOOD LUCK

Hummingbird Feeder if she likes birds.

A nice glass one doesn't cost a mint and looks very thoughtful particularly if she does have a good place to put one.

I have the simple sugar recipe if you go that way. Just Granulated Sugar and water.

small gift cards to a book store. or Netflix or both.. with a couple of lottery tickets. and maybe a bottle of scotch? and a cute christmas decoration

You guys fucking rock! I know I am going to look good thanks to you!

My go-to gift for women for whom I have no idea what else to get them is a scarf to wrap around the neck for cold weather. They are even popular in Sothern California (what cold?).Get that and a book by a atheist and liberal female author. That or tickets to a theatrical production of something that SHE would like to see. And, as you mentioned, a bottle of single malt Scotch is always there if all else but I am still voting for the scarf.

Find out if she has an e-reader. If so, a gift card or whatever for ebooks. If not (and she's not a technophobe), maybe a Kindle or Nook--but these can be dicey, even for avid reader, so I'd ask first. Or maybe just a general GC to Barnes and Noble.com.

SciFi is a broad catagory, so I wouldn't just latch onto any author, universe, fandom, etc. If it were me, I'd be tickled pink by a nice hardbound edition--or set--of some classic in my wheelhouse. The Playboy anthology is pretty smashing, actually (short stories).

After only a week, I wouldn't be counting my chickens before they hatch.

You might want to concentrate on learning who she is - something she says may guide you.

I think a bunch of of smaller gifts can be fun! A good book, a good movie and maybe some bourbon or scoth.

Nerd jewellery! DNA coil earrings, a pendant of her favourite compound (like caffeine, or ethanol, or dopamine etc.). You can get rings made from iron nickel meteorites that are etched to bring out the funky cross hatched alloy grain. Ammonite fossils make lovely pendants, too.

Can't go wrong with a nice bottle of bourbon, or scotch.
