The saving grace of a woman like you (and I) have is that she's going to appreciate whatever you do, so there's not much chance of a fatal screwup. Her appreciation of her lifestyle, and of you, is what makes her so great. May I make a few observations, after 41 years with such a woman:
She probably doesn't care much for perfume, jewelry or flowers. She has the grace to accept them, but it doesn't really hit the mark. She's really more concerned that her goats or horses are being fed properly than getting a diamond necklace.
She likes practical things that fit in the lifestyle she has chosen. My wife likes stuff that makes her warm- polar fleece, fur lined gloves, down coats, insulated muck boots,- you get the idea.
What does she like to do as a hobby? If she likes to read, the suggestions about a Kindle are good. Gift certificates for stores where she can buy supplies for her hobby are good, too. And if she really doesn't have any "frivolous" hobbies and would just rather can stuff, that's where you need to go. If she likes massages, thats a good area. It can be hard to identify the preferences of women who just aren't into frivoulous things, just do the best you can.
Congratulations on having a woman to share your life with, who isn't shallow. And the best thing of all is, if you miss the mark with your'r gift, she's not going to make you sleep on the couch. She loves you for who your are, not what you give her.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
