Flowers, candy, backrubs, etc. etc. are fine, but... if you are trying to
find an ideal gift for a particular person then by all means LISTEN and
OBSERVE when you are doing things together.  Odds are there will be all
kinds of hints that you can use to give you ideas for a gift.  Often the
hint will be perfectly obvious.  (E.g. the article a while ago about "The
Annotated Alice".)

I've had a lot of sucess giving women pearl jewlery.  I think pearls look
terrific on women, and you can spend just about any amount you want from
~$20 for a thin gold chain with a small pearl up to hundreds of dollars for
necklaces.  There's also lots of varieties of rings, bracelets, and
earrings.  Shop around a lot before you buy.  (Dress up, go into a fancy
jewlery store and let the sales representative teach you all about pearls,
then go and shop the places without so much overhead.)

Myself, I've always wished for a cuckoo clock.
