So I've been talking to this girl for some time. I've expressed my feelings for her and she reciprocated...but she was in a relationship. Well, to make a long story short, after a year and a half...she left the guy.

She wants to give it a little time before getting into another relationship and I respect that. I still want to get her something nice for Christmas, but I'm a crappy gift buyer.

What should I get her? I want to suprise her, but do you think it would be better to just ask her?

Give her some nice flowers (Generic Roses or not your choice), a sweet card telling her everything you like about her and how she makes you feel, and then maybe pop the question. Being with the one you love is better than any gift. Or maybe not even the one you love, just someone you can be intimate with.
