Last year my fiance got my s gift certificate for a day of pampering at a local spa. You can most likely find one in your area on the internet and arrange it via email. Depending on her tastes you can make sure it includes head to toe pampering.
Massage, facial, hair cut and style, manicure and pedicure.
Alot of spas also offer a package that includes lunch or snack.
Don't forget, that is if you are able. Try to arrange for a babysitter. Trust me the thought of finding a sitter will be most appreciated!

Buy her a silver heart necklace from Tiffany's (they're under $200) and tell her in a letter how you feel. First off, my husband has bought me 3 silver pieces of jewelry from Tiffany's and the excitement I feel when I open the little blue box is indescribable. Secondly, my husband periodically writes me notes or letters (he travels a lot for work) and I still have every single one. Words can be very powerful and as a woman, that has always meant more to me than anything.

order a lot of items from "Harry and Davids," a diamond ring to wear on her right hand, her birth stone in a necklace, have a telegram delivered to her work telling her how much she means to you and the love you hold in your heart for her. Let her know you can't wait to embrace her upon your arrival home.
send a letter to her parents and siblings telling them how much you love their daughter/sister - that always does the trick.
Gifts of the heart last longer than material things, and have a value that can't be assessed in dollars, because they are gifts of the heart.
then send her to a spa for a day of pampering. It really doesn't cost all that much.
then do the same for me, okay!

Take a picture of your self and send it to your parents or someone you trust to do it for you. Have them put your pic on a coffee mug and a t shirt. She will love this because she can take the mug to work and the shirt she can sleep with it and take you to bed with her. That is what I would want if my husband were overseas.

A necklace she would love because she would wear it all the time and think of you. OR, a gift certificate to get her hair done, as a mother, i know how less and less we get out to get our hair done once there are children ( cut or colored) but it is something we really enjoy. She would really appreciate this thought.

Since you are overseas, find a trinket or necklace/jewelry from the place you are located. Send it with a note about how much you appreciate her. It must be hard to be apart, and we appreciate your sacrifice.

get her an ipod off of apple.com. theres free shipping and free engraving on all the ipods so you could put a special message or inside joke or just "i love you" on it. she can put relaxing music on it or use it to work out or if u get the video ipod use it to keep your daughter entertained on long trips with a barney video or something...
