Eh, I wouldn't take her too literally. Asian people are like her. They don't want gifts, AT ALL.
So being Asian, I understand the do's and don'ts of this madness. Inside, she does want at least a little something, but on the outside, she says she doesn't, so that it would put more on your part to do your best and give her a gift with a lot of sentimental value. Thus is why she say's she wants YOU.
Now, I wouldn't dress yourself up as a present. That's just silly. What I would do is to take her out to a movie or something, then for dinner either at home or out somewhere fancy or lively, like a Japanese Steakhouse/Sushi Bar or somehting. Then when you get home, pull out something she can remember the night by. Anything at this point will be good. Just make sure it's not like "iPod Headphones" without the iPod, if you get what I'm saying. It has to be something complete, nice, and usable. Try not to get a sculpture or something. That'll just end up in the dusty closet. Find her interests, and give her something related to that. Heck, you don't even have to go out and buy something. A card or drawing would do.
Then done deal. You've given yourself by taking her to the movies and dinner, and then you've given her a little something for a physical "present". The night would be the actual present, while the little present would be a thing where she would go "Oh, it's been such a nice night, you SHOULDN'T have!", but you did anyways. Then close with a "Merry Christmas". That's what I would do.
However, if you were me, you would dissapear in a huge smoke cloud after "Merry Christmas". That's more epic. :laugh:
