Your special attitude:)
Depends on what kind of lady that is.If she's romantic-something sweet like a heart shaped candy box,if not-tickets to a boxing match. I wouldn't mind one of those!..
Jewelry,pretty little knick-knacks and lingerie work most times. Well, if you're close enough to give lingerie:)
I prefer useful gifts or even gadgets-Ipod-related stuff,GPS if you can afford it...;)
But honestly,they say that it's not the gift that's important,it's your attention. You can even give a picture frame and engrave it with something personal to express your feelings,that will melt anyone's heart.

What about a pampering gift? Like a one hour massage, or a manicure and a pedicure? I think most women would appreciate something that says that you care about her comfort and well being and it's not something that most men think about as a gift. If that's out of your price range, then a DIY pamper works nicely, too. Get her some candles and some bath goodies and an IOU for an after bath backrub complete with her favorite movie on play (and yes, you must watch, too.. not that you should be seeing the entire movie if all goes to plan).
If she's not that type, then lingerie (only if you are certain about her size.. nothing is more off-putting than receiving a large teddy if you're a small, or vice versa, is more embarrassing than receiving a small teddy if you're definitely a large) always says "I think you're ravishing and sexy and I want you to feel that way".
I think the gifts that make me feel the most special are when my guy was listening to me telling him about something I needed or wanted, and without any prompting got it for me for a special occasion. One year I told my boyfriend that I wanted a new sheet set for my bed, and was hoping to get one in the new year, and he bought me a beautiful set in my favorite color for Christmas.

My fiance and I have already exchanged gifts for Christmas but then we got money from my grandmother yesterday and went out today to shop. We bought a game for him, and a board game for us, but I was stubborn and didn't get anything for myself. He's threatened to order something online if he has to, but I told him not to. Well that's beside the point. Every lady is different, some like chocolate and roses, some like poems and a nice cooked meal, some like just being with the loved one. The best gift is one that comes from the heart so give her something special, something you've picked out for her.

My advice is to ask her! Not in an obvious way but my son's father used to be GREAT at this. He would somehow bring the subject up by asking, "What would be the perfect holiday?" or he would just pay attention to things I looked at when we were out.
Bring your lady out where there are stores and pay attention to the things she lingers at. She'll be amazed when she opens your gift and it is the exact something she saw the day before, you know.
Good luck!

Do stuff for her that you hated before. That makes her feel more especial. :)

Don't know how much help I will be. My Christmas list was:
1. a dvr
2. a rocking chair
3. a kitten
Anyway is this a girlfriend, a wife, what? Without knowing I can only make wild guesses, but how about:
1. a gift certificate for a spa visit or a massage
2. a necklace or earrings
3. something you made yourself
4. if she has children, offer to babysit while she goes out
Hope something was helpful...
