Tickets to the ballet/opera/Broadway. Depending on what she likes. Go for drinks beforehand.  
Bring her a single flower and do the “epic” kiss her hand thing. Dress to impress. Open doors all night.  
Remember to tell her that she is beautiful before you leave her for the evening… unless you get to tell her in the morning!

The post you are replying to is from 13 years ago, and the poster you are responding to was last here in July.

But I _am_ curious as to how it all turned out, to tell the truth.

By this time, an appropriate present would probably be a Lane Bryant gift certificate.
