Haha I wish I can gift her some sexywear, but she'll likely open it up in the vicinity of her parents. Baaaaaaad idea!
What are her interests? I for one prefer practical gifts. Not chocolates or flowers, which won't last a week (I see these as secondary things that complete a gift), but something she can use for a long time. Since she manages the bird collection in a local museum, and plans on becoming an ornithologist, I'm getting her a book on Birds of Venezuela (which ironically can't be bought here in Venezuela!). She's lusted over the book for a few months now, and in a week she'll be reading it 
I can be sure no one is getting her the same thing.
Bottom line is notice what she likes, or if you've payed attention when you've gone out she'll probably have told you that she liked something. Not directly (that almost never happens, so don't hold your breath), but she has probably said "this is cool" or something like that...
Now that I think about it, how about a shuffle? preload it with some songs she likes (or that you want to dedicate her) and it'll be a great touch. Heck, if things are going really well, record a personal message for her, rip it to MP3 and put it on the iPod
Think about her interests, what she likes, what she'll find useful and you'll come up with something. Is she working at something particular where she'll find an item useful? can something she already does be "upgraded" with an aditional gift? For example, if she listens to a lot of podcasts (or music, for that matter), she might like over-the-ear headphones that are much better than the small ones she has now.
I'd be happy to continue brainstorming

plus you've only been together 3-4 months, so you wouldn't get to see it for another 16-20 months at least i'd hope.
you should get her a RAM upgrade for her Mac or maybe an accessory for her iPod, the sport kit for her Nano, etc. or maybe a subscription to MacWorld
i don't think the IBM BlueGene/L could figure that one out!
but all you need to get her is a box of condoms, a porno-DVD, and some see through underwear. if she runs away screaming, then its her loss. if she stays then damn, never let the girl out of your sight, shes a keeper!!!!
but on a serious note. go for jewelry. ear rings, braclet, neclace (not a ring! she might get the wrong idea!!!!). all you do is notice what she wears already. if she wears silver, get silver, if she wears gold (yellow) get gold. if she wears big dangly crap, get big dangly crap, if she wears smally and unnoticable thne get small and unnoticable. its pretty simple, just walk into a jewelry store 'i would like a silver necklace that is small and i am willing to spend $x' they will always help you out.
as for the 'sexywear' go for it, get some of that to, but this should be a second gift. i mean come on, its more of a gift for you anyway! but give her the 2 gifts and say 'this is for you to open in front of your parents' (the jewelry) and then give the second and say 'this is for you to open in front of me only!' but here is a clue. if you dont already know her size then dont get her anything in this department! its always easy to find the size after clothes get strewn about the room, and well if clothes arent comming off, then these no reason to buy her something you wont get to see!!!
