Help! Birthday Present for other half

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some advice it's my partners birthday in August but he will be away and I will be seeing him in 2 weeks time to celebrate his birthday. we have a long distance relationship and live in different countries.I have a few ideas of little gifts I can get him but I am struggling on the main present as I am very low on money. He took me away to an amazing hotel for my birthday so I was hoping to do something similar maybe a spa day? But they all seem way out of my price bracket has anyone got any ideas? It would have to be in the east midlands area and my budget is about 60 pounds I may be able to stretched more if I can get a little more work.
Thank you to anyone who relies I really do appreciate any ideas!!

xx

    I bought my OH a watch last year. Nice Firetrap one but from Amazon, so was 40% cheaper. Does he wear jewellery? If you're romantic, how about free things but a voucher book? Alot of folk on here do that really well. You can print vouchers out online and add what you want on them and print. Like a romantic meal for two cooked by you, a walk on the beach, massage etc? Or use that as part of the present?

    Go on living social deals and put in the area you want to goto and there will be some deals in that area.

    You could also try a wine yard tour with afternoon tea, sometimes those deals are good value. i got mine from travelzoo local eals and it was about £15 for two with afternoon tea

    How long have you been together? How about a scrap book/photo album of your time together? A memory or photo per month/year.

    Like jembs idea of a voucher book too :)

    Thank you so much everyone for your ideas! I am going on amazon right now to have a look at the watches as he doesn't have one. We haven't actually been together that long but we've been friends for along time and he's my best friend so I would love to get him something special. We already have a scrapbook together but I will definitely be making the coupons. Thank you once again I feel abit more positive about his upcoming birthday armed with present ideas!
