J.C.
Make him a cake. Have a card waiting for him in his car so he sees it when he goes out. Have cocktails, cheese and crackers waiting when he gets home from work. There are lots of little ways to make him feel special on his birthday without spending a lot of money. He will probably remember the effort more than the money spent on a gift. About 17 years ago my husband bought multiple bags of skittles (candy). He separated all the grape (my favorite) and put them in a mason jar. This present stands out more to me than the car he bought me on my 40th birthday😊.
