I told my t I wanted to get her a gift for Christmas but I knew I couldn't and she said yeah don't buy me anything. But over the past year I've been seeing her, I've made her a bracelet, colored her pictures, bought her stuff from the zoo, have given her little things I've bought that were really inexpensive and written her letters and made cards for her and she has loved them all. So I would say ask but I think it would be fine.
