I need free anniversary ideas

Hi,

It's mine and my partners anniversary (not wedding) on Sunday 12th and due to our money situation I cannot afford to buy him anything but I want to be able to give him something. Does anyone have any suggestions. It doesn't have to be completely free just really really cheap.


Thanks in advance :o)

    I think there are some vouchers that you can print off the internet like cheques with promises on. You can do this yourself anyway and need to think what might be the right promises to make - something sexy or something involving sleep or a lie in or a promise to cook his favourite tea...

    Or could you make a collage of photographs of the two of you, some happy memories to share?

    Or a packet of Rolos? That's romantic and tasty and cheap.

    apparently, only if it is the last one.

    True. So wrap one and then share the rest and then present the "last one". I got some strawberries from Sainsbury's for a pound as they were not all the same size and shape and they would make a nice cheap picnic type idea.

    It's my OH's birthday on Friday and I'm skint so I made him a party invitation and emailed it to him.

    A meal up my local is very cheap, £3.50 for Gammon, Egg and Chips and is very nice then home for pudding, drinks (cheaper to drink at home), a film of his choice and then fun and frolics afterwards.

    As it's a Sunday why not surprise him with brekkie in bed with a card and invitation - give him several choices

    1. A day of fun and frolics ;)
    2. A long walk, followed by a nice home cooked meal and a cuddle in front of a film
    3. Add in anything else you enjoy doing.

    You can have lots of fun without spending much money - you'll both remember the day more if you have fun rather than buy a small gift you'll forget about.
    Have fun!
