The Present

My husband's birthday is in 4 days, I still don't have any idea what gift I should get for him, and the main problem is I do not have the money to buy him something. As a staying home housewife, I really do not have an income, the only money I have is the money for the household and daily meals. I do take care of the family financial and take control over the money but I don't feel fair if I used the money - which comes from his hard work - for his own birthday present, it just doesn't sound right.

My dear husband told me not to buy him anything at least until I get my salary. Yes, I start my new job in a week. It means I need to wait for at least a month to get the money for the present. I really want to make it special for him on his birthday, how can I do that without money??

I am thinking of making him something special, like cook him dinner - but I do that everyday already, will not be special anymore and my cooking is just average, nothing fancy.

Then if making my own greeting card in heart shape, with romantic words all over - I have a very limited mind for art, I don't even make a simple line straight.

Let me think what I am going to do on his birthday, my main goal is to make him feel special like he already is.
