Help with cheap/free things for bf's Birthday

ForeverBlowingBubbles

Hi All,

Its my boyfriends 26th birthday on Monday and as I'm so broke at the moment I'm trying to think of some cool things that we could do over the weekend that are either free or very cheap.

I've kinda given up trying to think of cheapish birthday presents at the moment as my brain is about to explode so he'll have to wait a few weeks!

Anyways, any help you could give me will be very much appreciated,

thanx x

Make him a birthday tea & a cake - I once did baked beans on toast by candlelight for my BF - or take a picnic (homemade) to your local park.

Make up a set of personalised IOU's for things he likes - maybe a home-cooked roast dinner, or a chocolate cheesecake, or a massage...

Keep your eyes on your local charity shops - you never know what someone may have given to them that would be an ideal cheap pressie for him.

get some photos of yourself and both of you together. if you can get your hands on a boots £2 digital printing voucher (ask family or friends) they can be printed for free.

Weather supposed to be nice on Saturday so go to somewhere beautiful near you and take a picnic and if the budget allows include champagne or wine and strawberries.

If you have a few quid, Poundland are selling Lynx sprays and shower gels - maybe make him a little 'pamper hamper' with hm cookies/fudge, lynx, a massage IOU (print up on the computer?), burn a CD of his favourite tunes, visit department stores and get some men's samples, you could make a lovely pressie for next to nothing! They also have in Poundland bottles of boxed Umbro aftershave (my dad says it's really nice!), Simpsons socks (adult sizes), loads of chocolate/sweets, books, DVDs, computer games, razors...so depending how tiny your budget is you should be able to make him a lovely gift.

Remember though, it's not just the gift - it's the day. It will probably be sunny, so you should have a lovely day

You could indulge him in some special treats?

That would normally have a high RRP.
