I am looking for something to get my partner for his birthday, he will be 26.
The only problem....I have £10 (lost my job, and have yet to find a new one)
Any gift ideas anyone?

When is his birthday? what kind of things does he like? you have I noticed in your signature £100 in restaurant vouchers, you could always plan a nice meal and then return back to yours for *ahem* coffee
give him a birthday he will remember? Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -
It's probably not very inventive, but you could bake him a cake / his favourite cake - that way you have also put time, effort (and thought) into the present?
RustyFlange's idea is great though!0 -
cook a nice meal, (often fave foods are not the most expensive) (home made pizza)
make a home made card, (cut out pics, printed photos etc)
give him a voucher (made by you) promising a great expensive day out/treat when you do have a job.
make him breakfast in bed, make him sandwiches
get your fave DVD and some chocs sorted out
I was going to say buy/nick flowers but you could make some paper ones.0 -
Thanks for the great ideas. Rusty...loving the 'coffee' idea.
Thankyou0
