I think exchanging meaningful gifts is nice. We exchanged small, engraved Bibles and we both wrote notes in the front for each other. We still have those and treasure them, even though we bought rings later.
If you wear watches, you could always do that in place of rings. The bonus is that watches can be engraved on the back.
Here are some good suggestions from The Wedding Channel:
a beautiful jewelry box
a bottle of extravagant perfume
an antique hair ornament
a pretty journal
a leather desk set
an exquisitely bound book, personally inscribed
a monogrammed handkerchief
an antique desk clock
an engraved money clip
A bi-plane ride for two, complete with old fashioned goggles
A special photograph in a frame
A love letter written on a beautiful card
An original poem or love song
A tree sapling (traditional in Bermuda and the Netherlands)
Joint personalized stationery
A book of love poetry, inscribed
Tickets to your favorite opera or sports event
A cassette or CD compiled of favorite love songs
