as it's Snupy's birtday soon-ish and she has warned me not to get her anything expensive! [smiley=thinking.gif] But I've heard marriage can be quite costly, or so Lionel Richie seemed to be saying! :-/ However, your proposal idea has been taken on board under advisement! :-/ 
Okey dokey Mr Snupy old bean cheap birthday prezzie a go go it is. I usually find prezzies come in 3 catergories,
1, Bloody expensive very well recieved pain in the butt to buy, these kind of gives should be given once in a lifetime and on some huge event like 50 wedding anniversary, her letting you go on a stag month to a beer festival in Munich or if you have been really bad and need forgiveness and I mean really really bad not just having an affair bad but say having an affair with her mom bad
2, Very well thought out prezz, these are great as they can be quite cheep but be carefull a really good idea that sounds cheep can turn out very expensive. Send a letter to her favourite author explaining what a fan your lady is of her and if it is at all possible can I get an autograph to get me in her good books. Explain if there is any chance of an autographed book you will make a donation to her charity as a thankyou. Or if she hasn't read 84 Charring Cross road then buy a copy of that and write something in it like,
"When I read this the similarities took my breath away and moved my heart nearer to yours. I can only be thankfull that I know we will be together where they could not, my deepest love (insert snupy name here).
3, Gifts they will return pretty much everything else they will pretend to like it just not very well then ask for the reciept.
So go for the thoughtfull stuff it is way cheeper and they think your all snuggily and romantic.
