I have literally no idea. Officially together for 6 months but known each other around a year. I am financially very hard up. He is not. At all.

Hes an outdoorsy type of person. Buys whatever he wants and buys top end so....I'm stuck.

Plan a day out? Nice walk to a view point, picnic, or whatever it is he likes doing that is outdoorsy? Take a photo when there and frame it as a tangible item/gift/reminder of the day?

Or something with a nudge to the fact that he'd rather be outside - like this sort of thing https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1710261647/camp-fire-hand-poured-soy-candle-smoke?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=firepit+candle&ref=sc_gallery-1-5&cns=1&plkey=1898c1d02740fccc350cfa435a143085efd3297a%3A1710261647

Selection of his fave walking snacks?
Walking socks
Blister plasters?

An adventure map or a scratch off thing of adventures you could do together? https://shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/marvellous-maps-great-british-adventure-map/?sku=9781913447120&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpvK4BhDUARIsADHt9sQcX8hWd9OB1PJtF4fP83srREFbAD9--diCVR9tyXPMxIUM0LuJM_kaAvy6EALw_wcB

Something like this www.surpriseadventure.co.uk/product/couples-edition/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpvK4BhDUARIsADHt9sQhkC7S1_mqT8_I8BF_uBMI1yLNk0WGoacURJoYlYMaKcssK3oKaTAaAivaEALw_wcB

Or theres a book called the great British bucket list which is pretty good?
