Cute surprises for a girl

So, I'm dating this girl. We were friends for a couple of months, and I guess neither of us are really sure when it turned into dating. Whatever. Anyway, I'm trying to think of some cute surprises to break out when she's down, or just randomly (though not too frequently, of course). The problem is, I've come up with some, but when I Google for more... they're all too heavy. We're not married, we don't live together- we haven't even said I love you. But we're not like... just off an awkward first date. We like each other a lot.
I don't need to know about weekend retreats or rose petals to her bedroom or anything like that. Much lighter stuff. Someone suggested baking her a batch of her favorite cookies, which seems nice.
Other ideas?
Thanks.

Anything you see that reminds you of her is fine. A book, flowers food surprise trip to somewhere she likes.
Satans..... hints.....
PERHAPS AN IDEA, I HAVE
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
You are all fucking studs, I must say.
Make one, rar it, zshare it. Easy, quick and you don't even need to be in the same location to give it to her.
the effort and thought that goes into a gift is often times more meaningful than the gift itself.
although, i would advocate a burned cd (since almost no one has a "tape" player anymore, other than car stereos)
The tape would be a traditional thing but like Lightly pointed out, no one has tape players....
Bake her these cookies.
Anyways, offer to take her out for a day of whatever she wants to do. Offer to go to the mall, park, whatever floats her boat, and just enjoy the time with her. I know my [STRIKE]gf[/STRIKE] fiancee loves a day in the 'city' just doing stuff she's wanted to do for awhile.

Yeah those cookies are hardcore. Two different types of flour?
Oh, oh! And things in the mail. A cute note, a small gift. Who doesn't like to get things in the mail and not know about it?
If you know her you can think of silly things she likes: I've sent things like foam dino stickers, windup robots and ponies, mix cds, a book, a "Just thinking of you" note, and pictures of things I knew they liked that I saw or of us together.
Thats not a cookie.
This is a cookie.
I'm on a date with a girl, and I stop to pick up a broken street sweeper blade from the street. They're like a small, long, flat piece of high-carbon steel. The girl is obviously confused as to why I'm doing this. Let her be confused for a while.
Next time I see her, I give her a set of lock picks I made from the blades I've collected. You just have to grind them into the right shape with a grinder and polish them up a bit. I usually heat up the ends and curl them over so they have a loop to put a keyring or something through. Girls seem to love learning how to pick locks. Give her a padlock, too, to practice on. If you're really keen, you can sew up a leather book/pouch/scroll to keep them in, too.
Something I'm working towards is forging a rose out of steel... It'll last longer than flowers. I don't have a forge yet, though...
Still kinda odd though :P
I'm mainly looking for stuff like that, versus a day out, because we usually don't get to hang out until late at night when stuff like parks, picnics, and romantic strolls can be a little tougher.
Keep 'em coming, guys. Thanks a lot.
A used bookstore is your friend, go find some old books. But the important part is the note you put in them about why the book made you think of her. And it is really fun to get stuff in the mail.
Extra awesome if you know her favorite scents.
I LOVE the mix tape/CD idea, that's really sweet and thoughtful.
Find a place she's always wanted to go, but never could, and get a photo of it. Cut out a picture of her, and glue it into said photo. You can add yourself, too, or be even crazier and put her into places like prehistoric times, under the ocean, etc. Put it into a cute little frame, or make her a little book!
You can incorporate treats she likes into the picture theme, too. Like, if you put her into a picture with sharks, give her a box of goldfish snacks. ;D

Oh wait... this isn't one of those H/A threads. Carry on!
Step 1: borrow her Ipod
Step 2: Check out the bands in her 25 most played songs playlist
Step 3: set your ticketmaster.com profile to alert you when any of the bands in that playlist are in your area
Step 4: Profit!
You'll probably want to cut down the recipe unless you intend to share with friends or eat cheesecake every day for a week. Or freeze the leftovers
This is relatively easy to make. My wife and I made 7 of these for our wedding.
Also does she like flan? I found a flan recipe last year that I might be able to dig up again that was surprisingly easy if you follow the directions.
One: You cut a hole in the box.
two: You put your junk in that box.
Three: Make her open the box.
And thats the way you do it.
Making dinner whether at her house or mine is a third date play for me, and I would recommend it for a surprise if you can make any nicer-than-normal dinner.

I am happy that there is like minded people on this board that instantly think of something dirty. Also saddened that I was beaten to the DIAB video.
Oh, and you can also try making sangria and relaxing outside with her on a hot day, thats always a good thing.
Include note.
That's an awesome idea. You'd probably need to have the right kind of girl to give her that but damn, that's a swell idea.
On the flip side, I'm a badass cook so I love it when my bf takes me out some place new with a food style I've never tried before. This is how I found out I love tapas, sushi and Thai among other things. He made dinner for our first dinner in our apt, and we ended up with 3/4lb burgers that I couldn't physically fit in my mouth to take a bite from; he is no longer allowed to make dinner.
Flowers are always awesome but get the right ones. I hate roses but a big thing of daisies would be excellent. Different girls = different tastes = different flowers. Similarly, as a cook a basil or rosemary plant would be just as awesome. Not all girls love bath products but if she likes a relaxing dip in the tub Lush offers some incredible bath bombs and bubbles.
I suggested the home made bath bags in case the OP didn't have an awesome Lush store around.
I'd also be glad for some cute things to say, too. This sounds like of hokey and desperate, but I'm falling really hard for this girl. As much as I like honesty and disclosure, we seriously haven't been seeing each other long enough for me to be honest about how strong I feel and use the phrases I want to use. I'm looking for lighter (but still affectionate) stuff to say so I'd appreciate some ideas on that front, too.
Sorry for the hassle! I suck at casual cuteness... I'm a pretty fiercely loving person, so I can seem over the top in the beginning of a relationship. That's why I'm hitting up ya'll for ideas.
for god's sake, don't make it a line.
just relax
