Gosh, she sounds a bit picky!
The only thing I don't see on the list is jewellery - how about some nice earrings or a pendant or bracelet? A Book if she likes to read, or a year's subscription to her favourite magazine. A facial or manicure voucher might be nice.
Good luck with her!

Since she likes perfume and nice-smelling things,
I suggest a gift voucher for an aromatherapy treatment.

Don't try to compete or get into expensive foolish things. How about an album of her family growing up or yours. Draw from her happy experiences and put them together. Grand children? A trip or day spent together with everyone in photos or scrap booked. Letters from friends and family telling/ sharing their memories.Unique and nobody else will have one like it. Try www.picaboo.com to put together a professional looking album. Great site.
