i'm in a similar situation, except a little older (i'm 30, she's 26)
dating since august, pretty sure she's the one i'm gonna end up with.
i set the bar way too high for her birthday presents in september...they secured my place, but now i've got nowhere to go but down!

Good point about setting the bar. I got her floor mats for her Fit as a birthday gift last month ($80). Does this change anything?

Hey man, I had a talk with my girl the other day about "the bar" and how, unless you're very wealthy, you can't always go upward. Manage that girl's expectations!
Manage her expectations. Good advice there.

I think the scarf and socks are safe. Just get the britta and start using it.
Also, cd's or dvd's make pretty good presents. Does she have a favorite tv show? Buy her season on dvd. My wife and I like watching the Simpsons, she just gave me the new season

For some reason the card seems to be important to girls. Even if you have a present, don't forget the card.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. . . this is easy kids.

Gift certificate treating her to a day out. Like a serious bang-whiz date of epic proportions. A drive in the car, picnic and/or weekend at a so-cute-you'll-puke-My-Little-Ponies B&B. The trick is to present the whole thing to her as a package. Then, don't forget the flowers and the little details when she redeems it.

CU said concert tickets. I've always scored through the uprights with a night at the opera or symphony along with the classy dinner.

You haven't known her that long. . . don't buy anything that would be considered a "capital purchase" (jewelry, pets, leather paddle).
