I gave my wife (woah, still feels strange writing that 8 months after wedding) a PS2 + dance game w/proper padded dancemat for her 35th. I knew it she wanted one, though. Plus point: Much fun together. Minus point: Could be construed as you thinking she needs more exercise.

Also second the lots-of-stuff surprise package suggestion above.

Quickly find and download MP3s of all the songs which were number one in the singles charts on her birthday for each of her 30 years, and make her a CD of them.

Jess-based slash fiction will make her go weak at the ~~rectum~~ knees

Get her a new frying pan. Girls love to cook.

eight months pass...

I have to buy a birthday present for my husband's secretary today. I've never met her, she's in her 50s, divorced, republican. I don't know anything else about her except that she really helps my husband out. I did well for her xmas present (a swarovski snowflake pin) but now I'm a bit stuck. My ideas:

a jewelry roll, perhaps with a little american flag pin
a nice set of picture frames

Is her birthday today? How much time do you have? I've used this a few times, although it works best in Winter months:
