No stories but I guess in your case, if you are unsure how she will react, you may want to approach the issue first and wait on the gift until next year or never depending on how she reacts.
Also, my wife would be okay receiving something like that as a birthday or even a secondary anniversary gift but for her, Christmas is different. She would be offended receiving it during a religious holiday, even though she isn't overly religious. Just something to think about.
