My partners 40th birthday is coming up.

He has mentioned that I take him for granted quite a lot & unfortunately he is right.

I don't have much money but I want to do something special for him to show him that I do care however I'm not really sure how to do that with the little money I have.

I can probably afford £200.

Any ideas?

Make him a cake . Book an activity
make him a special breakfast

it’s not about spending money . Its
about being there and spending time

What is it that he likes but rarely gets chsnce to do? If you can why not organise this? I agree it doesn't have to cost a lot. It could be a day out to kne of his favourite places, a special meal cooked by you and a cosy evening in. On another note perhaps you coukd use this as a wake up call to stop taking him for granted? Just a thought

We're not going to know what he likes better than you do. There's no generic 'thoughtful present'; the whole point of 'thoughtful' is that it's individual.

What has he always wanted to try? Where has he always wanted to go? What has he always wanted to learn how to do? Who hasn't he seen for ages?

Think about him, not 'a brilliant present', and it'll come to you.

l would write in a card all the things you appreciate about him, my Dad was never big on emotion but after my husband died he really stepped up and did alot of DIY jobs in my house for me and my boys, l wrote him a card telling him how grateful l was for him making my house a home etc and my Mum said he got really emotional reading it, sadly he died suddenly not long after but l am so glad he knew how thankful l was.

Take him away for a night if you're able to get away. You can get a nice small boutique hotel and a nice meal for £200 ish.
Go somewhere where there are nice walls and scenery around so you can do something nice on both days.
