The picture + frame combo is as close to scrapbooking as I am going to get. Plus, if things don't work out, it'll be easier for her to toss

She's certainly not a gold digger. In fact, she said she is not big into diamonds and expensive jewelery and would rather have something simple. Am I a sucker or could this actually be the truth?

May be true. But you said she's into trendy clothes. Those aren't cheap duder.

I gave a GF framed pictures before. She like them, but I think she liked the little black dress I bought her even better.

I still think #1 is a good idea.

She's getting a scarf and socks from NY&Co., framed picture, and a bath towel (base gift I am giving to everyone).

Is this too much for 3 months? Is the framed picture too sentimental? I have zero sense about that stuff.

Is the framed picture one of you and her? I think it's nice. Scarf and socks is okay... if you're good at it... and she likes to be massaged... you should give her a full body massage. like someone said earlier, just light the room full of candles... lead her in... maybe give her the pic frame to open, and then when she's like awwwww, tell her that's only part of it.... lay her down, take her clothes off, and give her a full body massage, give her some lovin' down under if she likes it, and maybe one thing will lead to another. SCORE! for you and her.

ps. this will only work if you're good at giving massages and she likes getting them.

break up with her until christmas is over, and then say the holidays/time with your family gave you time to think about what's really important = win/win

A bathroom scale would fall under the rubric of "no-nos".
