Scott,
My husband got me a gracie frame for christmas a few years back but only after I had made sure our daughter knew exactly which one to tell him to get me.
A lovely homemade card given at a special dinner with a IOU a trip to pick out the frame of your choice is what I would have liked if he didnt ask my daughter which one I wanted. My mother-in-law got me a hintenberg frame last year and it is still in the box. I may never use it because it was not something I wanted. She just knew I wanted a frame. Every quilter is different.
