In time for christmas? **** knows.

As a late christmas presie? loads. Cds, dvds, a piercing, gig tickets, books, blah blah blah, or you could use one of his hobbies as a present of something? For example, I gave my mate LJ the idea of taking his girlfriend ice skating at Tower Hill outdoor ice rink in London and she loved it =]

The air from your lungs.

That's what one of my best friends got me. He wasn't allowed to spend any money so gave me that.

Bake something for him.
Make a big goofy card or craft item like they made you do in primary school. Complete with cottonballs as snow.

Gift cards usually seem to work well.

sock buddy.
or like a homemade teddy. made out of material remnants, and with buttons on, pins and stuff. Tim Burton-esque.

I am in the same situration... seeing my boyfriend on monday, but we agreed not to get each other pressents due to money, however, found out today that he has got me one :/ so now trying to think of something...

erm... if you have loads of photos make a scrapbook? bake a selection of biscuits and stuff and put them in a jar? do you sew or knit or anything crafty, if so make something for him? could make a hamper contains loads of cheap things he'd like, but present it in tissue paper or something to make it loook nice

those are the idea's i've had so far today...

does he have any hobbies? something surrounding that could work

also... the sales start tomorrow :P which I think give us the advantage here if choosing to buy something lol

Cook stuff?
Make a cake with money in.
Make a sock monster/hat/wallet/what ever else..

I was going to say, make him a scrapbook with any random photos/tickets/guides from places you've been.
I made my boyf. one of those, as part of his present.

Apart from that, yes, you could make him a cake, or a small box of random things you think he'd like - things like, if he likes a certain type of jam, or chocolate, a belt, boxers, and notebooks/pens - little bits and pieces.

Sales are on now - DVDs/CDs? It's so cliche - but appreciated.

I'm limited money, and I got my boyf. a shirt and cufflinks, plus lots of little bits and pieces - some DVDs, books, a finger drum kit, some jokey things from Ann Summers - but I looked around. Places like Zavvi often have the 3 for £10 on DVDs, so you could always have a look around there.

Good luck.
