that's not a bad idea old man
I could take her to see the penguins at the place in Torquay

Experience as gifts are a good idea. But if it's something like the penguin idea you'll have to be inventive as there is nothing actually hand over.

I would also get her other stuff

Cuh - there you go being all profligate with the household budget.
Are there any Yurt sites near you. You could perhaps combine the amount you were going to spend on each other and have a night in one of those. Although there would be no surprise element.

Or if looking actual gifts then something practical that she needs/wants and something indulgent/luxurious without being really expensive - particularly nice chocolate or body lotion or summat.

nice idea
but not something she'd be into I think, not at the moment anyway.
