Here is one serious problem, i would like all my friends to help me out.
The senario is such that tommorow is my girl friends birthday and i am in deep trouble about what to give her, many of you might think whats the problem in that, the problem is she doesnt like dresses as gifts and i am unable to buy her a jewelery set. So you can easily guess that i am preety much out of cash.
So i would like to here from you all what would you have done if you were in my place?

Wow that is a difficult one and you have left it late to ask. Personally, I think she would like to spend time with you and just know that you care. I don't know her so she might like material things but she should know that you don't have much to spend. So spend your time and thoughts with her. Take a picnic to the park and make sure that you find some memento to give to her - a flower, a pretty shell etc. Depends where you live and where you can go.
Best of luck. Let us know how it goes.

Thank you all for your overwhelming responses, after reading all your helps i had come to one common point and that is the most beautiful gift that i could give her is a great day outing.
I would cook some lobster and chicken for her and try to make up a chocklet box filled with chocklet for my love.
Once again thanks to all of you.

That is a wonderful idea! It is from the heart and she will enjoy a nice meal with the person she loves. She will know you put a nice gift together and really made a special effort for her! I hope you have a wonderful day together and let us know how it turned out!

You'll have to hop to it, and maybe you've stopped checking in here, but here's a fairly quick & inexpensive gift. Take one of your older long-sleeved shirts (flannel, if you've got one), and an old pillow case. Button up the shirt & turn it inside out. Staple the bottom of the shirt, from the bottom of the side seams, straight across. Staple closed the right sleeve at the shoulder. Staple the left sleeve closed at the end of the cuff. Turn shirt right-side out and unbutton. You should have a "one-armed" shirt now. Stuff the pillow case with fiber stuffing from local department store craft department. Stuff left sleeve up to the shoulder. Now insert stuffed pillow case into the shirt body and button up. You now have a (headless) torso/pillow with one arm. Your girl friend can snuggle with the "arm" around her, & her head on your "shoulder" and dream of you!

I will say that my husband aren't always rolling the money and so we have to get creative most of the time. Writing her a poem, or making a collage of pictures of just you and her and framing it. Anything that takes time, she will love...to women love is spelled TIME. Writing her a song, if you know someone with video equipment, making her a video...just something creative. I may have more suggestions later.

I remeber one birthday my ex had given me a bunch of roses , they were there lying next to my bed when I opened my eyes. He had handed it to my mom to giove them to me, I was so happy and pleasaently surprised, he said five was one for each month he had known me. there was a card too with them. I think I was nevewr more happy than that day for my birthday.

There are many things that you can do on a low budget. You can cook a meal for her yourself, recreate a first date, mix your own CD of special songs that tell her how much you care, buy her something casual that isn't really expensive, use a special talent to create something for her yourself, and many other things that are original and uniquely your own. Best of luck to you and I hope it turns out great whatever you decide.

It depends on how much relationship you've got with your girl friend. If she's just another friend then buy her some fancy jewellery or a vial of perfume. I know you can manage that much cash to buy the gift.
But if she's someone special then surely its a matter of great concern. Do you know about her interests? Or what facies her? If so buy one, she'll surely love as a gift. And who knows you may get an instant return in appreciation! :)
Best of luck buddy.

You can buy flowers at the grocery store pretty reasonably, like $10 or less. They come in nice bunches and really look beautiful. Candy can be purchased for even less if she likes candy. A nice box of chocolates can be less than $6.
If you are really out of money, give her a promise card. In it tell her that it is good for a trip to the coast, or a picnic at the lake, or some movie or sports event that you know is coming up in the future (when you will hopefully have more money to pay for it.) Good luck. I hope she has a wonderful birthday.

ha ha ,you are in deep trouble. But let me tell you one secret of life, on her bday send her a surprise boquet of flower may be get her a cake at 12 in ight and send flowers to her at her workplace or home . Surprise her that is not too costly and is more rewarding then a peiece of jwellery. And if possible take her out for dinner, just the two of you, talk the sweetest things to her, tell her how beautiful she is, how caring, and believe you will win her. Take my word, this way you will become the love of her life.
