Themed Gift Basket for Girlfriend...Need More Stuff!?

For Christmas I'm getting my gf a gift basket theme thing based on places she has connections to, I think i have some good main stuff but I definitely need some more small stuff to fill out the gift basket. My question: Do you think this a good enough gift from a boyfriend of about 6 months or do I need more 'big' stuff in this basket. Is this a good idea in general or should I scrap it and go another way? What little stuff can I throw in her to fill out the gift basket? Here's the main stuff I have so far: 1. A bottle of California Wine (because shes originally from the Bay Area in Cali, not far from wine country), 2. A box of her favorite Taiwanese food (these little meat/bread rolls) from her mother's hometown (her parents are from Taiwan) 3. A small framed poster of Paris with pink as its main color, and theres a close up of a girls high heeled shoes in it. Hard to explain, but Paris is her favorite city and she loves shoes (so does every girl, but she REALLY does). 4. She also loves Vegas, so I got her another framed poster of the famous Vegas sign (she has nothing on her walls in her apt so these posters are functional too). This poster is big, so it'll be separate from the actual 'basket'. The only other place I was thinking about using is Japan because shes sort of into the culture (not like the anime stuff or anything though).
--------------------
aww! that's so sweet! is she's the type of girl to appreciate these thoughtful things, then keep piling it up! but do you think she's materialistic? like you said, she loves shoes, and other girly stuff. she might get disappointed. but i guess it's the thought that counts. and slow down on going "big", since you're just going out for 6 mos, but it sounds you're pretty serious. well, you could go big on your anniversary. and i'll just remind you, it's pretty hard to top your gift ideas in the future, so don't go all "big", you still wanna surprise her in the future. well, you could make her sushi or maki rolls, that would blow her away, since most guys don't cook. oh by the way, you could also give her something to remember you by, i mean, the wine and taiwan food would be consumed, the posters would just be there. so maybe a little bracelet? yeah, bracelet from japan, that would be cool. goodluck man. you're so sweet! keep it up. :)
