Hello All!
My husband's birthday is fast approaching (2/7) and it's our first birthday together as a married couple (though together 8 years almost).  I'm big on birthdays and have a tendency to go all out with a homemade cake, decorations, fun gifts and a nice gift.  However, I was unexpectedly laid off due to budget cuts about 2 weeks ago and I need to be smart about my spending until I get another job.
What are some good, inexpensive and creative things I can do/buy/make to make sure his bday is special?  I know he is understanding of my situation, but I also want to make sure his day is happy and not affected so much by my recent lay off.  Besides the obvious 'steak and a bj', does anyone have some ideas??  Thank you!!
<bot>: Recently laid off and need some ideas for bday gifts/activities that won't break the bank for my husband's upcoming birthday.
