Well for starters, you can stop shooting yourself in the foot before
you even get started. If she wants originality, she can buy a one of a
kind painting. Make something easy. I would suggest:

Surf n Turf

Steak and some type of sea food
salad
Crusty bread
string beans or a baked potato
some red or white wine

Follow this up with a few hours of soft dance music on the radio while
sitting on cushions eating cooled seedless grapes and strawberries
dipped in chocolate or whipped cream by candle light in the living
room.

Trust me on this.
