Wife's Birthday

Hi everyone,
It is my wife's birthday on Thursday and due to various cicumstances I have been unable to get her a gift. AS we are pretty skint at the moment I only have £30 to spend on her and am work so the only place I can get to is Tesco and Sainsburys. I know this doesn't leave a lot of scope for a gift but I have seen that some of you on here are very creative and was hoping that you might be able to pass some of that onto me.
Thank you

Why don't you buy some candles, cook dinner and have a romantic evening together - if you got kids, perhaps you could get someone to look after them for the evening. I know this would mean so much to me - more than any present

You don't say if you have kids or anything but
time vouchers - mind kids for an evening while she has some me time (ie a bottle of wine round at a mates and a lie in the next am!)
lots of other things you can do those for
eg ironing vouchers
job around the house vouchers
