Overview
Christmas isn't necessarily considered to be the most romantic day of the year for couples, that designation is usually reserved for Valentine's Day. Yet, with the days shortening and the weather growing colder, there is a strong opportunity for romance blooming further. Help the spirit of the season along by giving her a romantic Christmas present.
Weekend Getaway
Plan to get away from it all with her by giving her a romantic weekend in a cabin, hotel or bed and breakfast. Pick a place she'll like. For example, if you like golfing and she isn't fond of it, don't choose a golf resort. Instead, choose a place that will foster romantic time spent together. She'll enjoy the gift of both your time and the vacation.
Jewelry
Before you go off and buy her the first thing you think she'd like, consider a few factors. If you give her an expensive gift of jewelry and you are still fresh into your relationship, she might start to feel like things are going too fast. On the other hand, a moderately priced jewelry piece like RedEnvelope's Semiprecious Bracelet is pretty and has a heart incorporated into the design but doesn't speak to the level of commitment that a diamond necklace would. Also, if you do not plan on asking her to marry you yet, it might be best to avoid getting her a ring. Try a necklace, earrings or bracelet instead.

Lingerie
If you want to buy her lingerie, don't pick an item that is too risqu?. It'll look more like a gift for you, and it's unlikely that she'll see the gift as romantic at all. Instead, pick a high quality, high comfort item that will make her feel both pretty and comfortable.
Engravings and Monograms
Personalized touches such as engravings and monograms can make any gift seem far more romantic. Get the optional engraving on an iPod, or give her a nice copy of one of her favorite books with a plate or label inside reminding her how much you care for her. This way, when she looks at the seemingly unromantic item in the future, she'll have a reminder of your love.
Frame a Photo
Frame one of your best photos as a couple and give it to her for Christmas. It will show a level of commitment and involvement from you in the relationship that will come off as romantic. Pay attention to her decor when choosing the frame so that she feels proud and comfortable displaying it in her home.
