I agree with the king on this one. If she doesn't want stuff, don't get her stuff. Do nice things that are non-monetary, so she can return the favor if she wants to. Keep it on a level playing field and restrict it to one gift or two at birthday/holiday, etc. If you feel compelled to buy stuff, get something for yourself that you know she will like. Or possibly get a joint account (or coffee can) that you both contribute to when you can, neverminding who contributes what, and when there's enough in there for you both to go on a trip or whatever, go for it. Then she can feel like an equal partner in the relationship.
