A sparkly thing once or twice is nice, but it's not something that I desperately NEED at all I can live without it... to me, the thought behind it matters more than the item itself.

Oh dear! As someone with experience in women and "bright shiny things" I have to say DONT DO IT!
Your setting a precedent, she'll expect it all the time. Not only will your wallet shrink to the size of a small pimple on your bum, your overdraft/credit card balance will expand to the size of a small countries Debt!!
OK, seriously, good luck, congratulations and remember, keep 'em barefoot and pregnant, chained to the kitchen sink!!
Maybe it's the vodka/crack cocktail talking, but I say throw caution to the wind.
She's lovely, and I recently observed her sitting on my lounge room floor, wine glass in hand, surrounded by CD's playing DJ by belting out some '80s classics all night. So pretty much a complete dork, but a lovable one.

Thanks everone, your comments and wishes are most pleasant and unexpected, (both the nice ones and the cynical ones)

It was slightly more romantic than your suggestion, although is it wrong to expect sex on tap for the rest of my life now??? Only if I mow the lawns right??
Went for a walk along the river, dropped on the knee, whipped out the bling-bling, tears, laughter etc.
Funnily enough I have now left her to ponder a life spent with me and I am at work. Hopefully she's still there when I get home.

26 Logan22L: If you're mowing the lawn right, you are having sex. Well, she is anyway.
27 KiwiinOz: Good advice! You mean she won't just be content with my charming company? I'm pretty good at "pulling my weight" in terms of jobs so all will be fine
28 Gilligan: Then there are still two weeks to save yourself!! You could always try a girls second best friend, cubic zirconia, maybe she won't know the differenc
