ya i know..wrong category but oh well. 1 year aniversary gift,but i'm broke...and i don't know what else to do

Question

me and my bf have been dating for almost a year and i love him to death. we both can't spend a lot of money because we both have to save for college. I want to do something different and romantic for him and find a gift to go along. what should i do?

and please nobody put anything about making love or anything dirty because he already knows i'm going to wait for marriage for that gift and i'm not the kind of person to do the nasty things either.

Answer 1

Besides food and sex related gifts, think about what his interests are. After one year, you should have a pretty good idea about his hobbies, likes, and dislikes. Since you two are planning on college, maybe some college bound gifts that are practical, and include the things he loves, or the college's name that he's going to attend (if he's decided). Try craft projects that you make yourself. It will mean that much more to him because of the time and effort you put into it.

A scrap book of the past year with movie stubs, recepts, pictures, etc...
Breakfast in bed with heart shaped pancakes.
A picnic at your favorite spot.
Dinner you made yourself.
A cake or his favorite dessert you made yourself.
A love letter or homemade card instead of a card from the store.
Love coupons for little things like hugs, kisses, a back or foot rub.
A day where he is "king" and gets you to wait on him.

Answer 2

i think of which you 2 could have a party to rejoice your birthday first and then spend your a million year anniversary as bf & gf on my own with eachother. You adult adult males shoud bypass out someplace and party with your pals to your birthday, and then here month in stead of renting a lodge rm and spending money which you adult adult males have not got, you're able to make a good looking romantic dinner only for the two one among you and take a seat and watch video clips at the same time. Spending a romantic night on my own at the same time at residing house on your first anniversary is the suited thank you to bypass. stable success on what ever you opt for. i'm hoping which you have an fairly pleased Birthday and an incredible Anniversary. Congratulations.

Answer 3

Okay, I have a couple of ideas for you that I have done myself. First, if you cannot afford to make him his favorite meal, see if you can make his favorite cake, or bake brownies. Then decorate it with icing, saying Happy 1st anniversary. Another thing I did was write some of the lyrics of our favorite songs and poems in a new journal. I also wrote a poem for him, with my honest feelings for him. Make your own greeting card with different colored pencils, pick a flower from a garden and tape it on...Oh the possibilities are endless....

Answer 4

I would say plan a romantic picnic on the beach, but I don't know if you even live close to the beach... If you live alone cooking is always a thoughtful & typically inexpensive way of celebrating an anniversary.

Answer 5

a nice quiet dinner or picnic and take a photo and get a nice frame at a second hand store and give it to him. a nice photo of the 2 of you. so many things you can do that dont cost alot. Happy Anniversary

Answer 6

Make him a romantic dinner and rent a movie - sounds cheesy but hey - you don't have to dress up! I have included a recipe that is SO good - very economical and it is healthy for you! (I found it in Cooking Light Magazine)

Salsa:
2 quarts water
1/2 pound tomatillos (about 10 small), husks and stems removed
1 garlic clove
1/2 to 1 serrano chile
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Chicken:
3 (1-ounce) slices white bread
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled queso fresco cheese
Cilantro sprigs (optional)
Lime wedges (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°.
To prepare salsa, bring water to a boil. Add tomatillos, garlic, and chile; cook 7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Combine tomatillos, garlic, chile, chopped cilantro, onion, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor or blender; pulse 4 to 5 times or until coarsely chopped. Set aside.

To prepare chicken, place bread in a food processor, and pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs measure 1 1/2 cups. Arrange crumbs on a baking sheet; bake at 350° for 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.

Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Combine 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, and red pepper; sprinkle evenly over chicken.

Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Place egg in another shallow dish. Dip chicken in egg; dredge in breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Top chicken with salsa, and sprinkle with queso fresco cheese. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and lime wedges, if desired.

Answer 7

You should take pictures of the two of you and make a mini scrapbook with just pictures and memories from thign you two have done together. you should go to dinner and then give it to him at dinner and that way you two can talk about all the things you have done and laugh about the good times and more good times to come. i hope that helps.

Answer 8

girl the dinner is the way to go!!!!! totally 100%! One thing a guy loves his for his girl to make him dinner (not this big fansy dinner just something nice..) you could cook his favorite meal... just spending tiem with him will make him feel like your his world. I have notice to that guys don't really worry about gifts... they don't really care about them... you know you guys just have fun that night and don't worry about trying to please him and tryign to make it prefect... you'll get it.. you'll find the great thing to do . and no matter what it is he'll love it

Answer 9

on such occasions ...........the gift doesn't matters mate.........but only the jesture behind it and I personally believe that if you cn even manage a fresh stick of red rose with a warm tight hug...........it vl convey d message across and if hez genuine............he vl respect it! d main aim is to be show u're love for him...........

n' who said that only gifts, expensive or nonexpensive ones, mk d day??
