Actually, I'm not familiar with the practice of giving _each other_ presents. People who have traditional weddings generally expect presents from well-wishers.
In my case, the marriage was the present. We were living together and had declared ourselves life partners. And she had said that legal marriage didn't mean anything and was just a manifestation of the state impinging on private lives, yaddyadda...she was an old lefty in a former life. But I kind of saw her acting a little wistful about it as the years went by, though not really saying anything about it. So I scheduled a wedding date down at the courthouse and rounded up some witnesses and told her she could come too, if she wanted... And she never really expected me to take the initiative. So I got more credit than I would have for any present.
While all the above is not exactly what you asked, what I did give my wife was a reiteration of my commitment and caring. If you want to give her a an appropriate prsent, give her something that sends the same feeling. Maybe something with an engraved message of commitment, not just her name. Doesn't have to be a huge present, just sincere. Give it some thought.
