    I need some ideas
    Here is the thing guys,

    My boyfriend's birthday is 27th of this month. I already bought a gift for him from my December salary and that is a guitar so it was kind of expensive and my whole salary is finished now. But I always get my salary on the 27th of each month so I thought that this month also I'l get my salary on that date so I had a plan and that is to reserv his favorite restaurant and bring all his friends for a dinner and surprise him. But today I came to know that I won't be able to get my this month salary until 30th. So my whol plan is flopped and I don't have any money left but I still really want to do something on his birthday.

    Can u help me with some ideas. His friends will help me out with anything but since I don't have any money, I can't go for anything that has to do with money. But there should be other stuff right? I'm so idealess. Help me out. I got to fix something before 27th!

    Quiet night at home... with lots of pampering... foot soaking... massage... aroma therapy... with some plans for Valentines Day or the weekend after the 27th, where friends are included... or... give a gift certificate (I.O.U. self made) if you want for some future activity?

    Cookies are always great... and more often then not, all the ingredients are in the cupboard. And besides, guys love cookies. And cake. And brownies. :)

    You can still organize that dinner/party with all of his friends.. at somebody's house. Yours, a friend's... but I guess that would be the obvious choice and you won't be asking for advice if you could arrange that.

    BUT, even if it's a dinner at a restaurant, you could share the costs with the friends, right? Or did you plan on paying for all of them? Splitting the cost would make it real cheap I reckon.

    In any case, you already have a present. A nice romantic dinner at your place would be enough.

    Well first of all, how long have you been dating, that is a big factor. You already have been a great girlfriend and spent your whole salary on a guitar for him, isn't that enough? If you feel like you must do more, then make him his favorite dinner and a cake and have a quiet evening at home.

    Also remember... we always want to give more than what we actually have or can afford. Don't break yourself money-wise, as long as he feels loved and appreciated on his special day, that's all that counts. :)

    Cook dinner for him, dress up really nice for him, play his favorite songs, tell him and show him that you love him, give him a card with a list of the many things you like about him (for example, if he is turning 20, list 20 things). The guitar is an expensive gift and I'm sure he'll be more than happy. Sometimes priceless things are more satisfying. I suggest that you spend time alone with him rather than with friends. Quality Time! Good luck. Just an idea! Happy Birthday to him!

    Hey thanks guys! U know what? U guys are right. I think just a guitar is enough. And by the way, we have been going out for more than a year and 3 months. So I'm just going to have a romantic dinner with him and make a self made card for him. Thanks so much!

    NOMATTER, you are so wonderful for taking the burden of your boyfriend birthday upon you.
    You had bought an expensive gift for him But is unfortunate that your salary for the next month might be delayed and on money for other ceremony.what if money doesn't come?
    So what will you do with the gift?
    Remember this will not be his last birthday,if there is no money,there is hope,there is love that never fall.Give him the gift tomorrow is sill a day of cerebration
    ... THINK AHEAD...
