If she's already on the ball with sentimental gifts, what about something you can both do for the memories, like would she be into something like a spa day or that type of experience? Maybe a posh afternoon tea for two or something romantic like that that you can both do together? Maybe book a holiday for you both somewhere like a romantic weekend city break over Christmas/New Year?

we went to ramside hall for a spa type thing a while back, it was a bit or a let down, might try another place... we're going to go to Iceland early next year, haven't booked it yet, waiting to find out when her exams are
I'm trying to go a bit above and beyond... she's awesome, I need to put some extra effort in
a couple of weeks ago she was coming over late on, I'd been re-concreting the factory floor and stuff like that for 2 weeks, doing crazy hours, I was knackered and my house was a mess... pile of dirty washing, pile of dishes in the sink,etc. etc. I got away from work early so I could tiry up before she came over.... she came around extra early (has a key), did all my dishes, dirty washing, cleaned my house top to bottom, fresh sheets on the bed and baked me a cake!

Lol bus station might not have been the most romantic place to meet but hey, it's the sentimental value behind it!

Knighty, marry her. If you don't, I will, she sounds awesome!

All different mate when you been married for so long.
I got nothing for my birthday. My wife's birthday coming up and she wants a new handbag but its not in stock anywhere yet so not bother. You just go out for dinner and do something nice/get a baby sitter more.
Since our birthdays including kids are..
August, September, October, November and wife's next week we do not bother with xmas presents on the adult side either.
People say gift vouchers are crappy thing but for me it is really good. If your not sure you give something that someone can use to get what they really want.
TOP TIP:
I am not sure in the UK how things are but APPLE tend not to be in the big chain shopping Malls. Westfield is the main one here. You will often get Westfield vouchers from companies/work etc.
If you want something Apple there are stores that sell Apple products but they can be limited stock and not quite the right spec etc.
You can buy Apple vouchers so if a shop in the mall with their voucher/card - Just use it to buy those and then go to the apple store.
