In my experience there is no nudging. Either you make it obvious you want more than just a friendship or you suffer in silence. The simple fact is, unless she's given you any indication otherwise - she thinks of you as her friend and there you will remain until you do something about it.
You know the girl, what does she like, what is she interested in, get her something thoughtful based on who she is, not based on how you think it might make her feel for you. In other words don't try and make this present do the talking for you, find her something you know fits her personality that she'll love and do the talking yourself.
Not that I think you would but just because it bears mentioning, for $deity's sake do not use the present as some manipulation device. e.g. tickets to something she'd like but on the condition it's a date.
