Celebrate his birthday without going broke!
You do not have to be on a tight budget to decide that you want to find free activities for your husband's birthday. The most priceless gift is the gift of time spent together, creating memories, remembering the past and planning for the future. Does this Spark an idea?
Summer Birthdays
Take your husband to a free summer concert in the park. Most cities offer some type of concert series in the summer, so check with your Parks and Recreation department to find out what is available in your area. Pack a picnic and enjoy the music. Use the time to reconnect and talk.
Invite your husband's friends over for a backyard gaming tournament to celebrate his birthday. You can play bocce ball, ladder ball, horseshoes or any other back yard game you all enjoy. Set up a poster with tournament brackets and play until an ultimate winner is declared. Playing outside in your own backyard is free and you will create lasting memories.
Fall Birthdays
Go to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard and walk around for a few hours, taking in the beauty of the season and catching up with each other. Sometimes life gets so hectic that husbands and wives do not have time for long conversations, so give your husband the gift of a beautiful setting for a nice chat.
Attend a local high school football game and cheer for your home team. It may not be as exciting as an NFL game, but it's free. A great perk: football nights are usually a bit chilly so the two of you can cuddle like you are still in high school.
Winter Birthdays
Take your husband to Hallmark or the greeting card section of the grocery store. Look for birthday cards that remind you of him and show them to him to read. Look for sappy ones as well as cards that make you laugh until you cry. Pass cards back and forth for as long as you want. You will both get the benefit of reading the cards without the actual expense of buying them. This is an activity that can become a tradition for any holiday.
Build a snowman together. If you have children, build a snow family. If you do not have children, build snowmen to represent the children you hope to have someday. Hunt together for sticks for arms and old scarves to dress your snow creations. Take pictures of your finished product to capture the memory.
Spring Birthdays
Celebrate a spring birthday without spending any money by taking a stroll through a city park to see all of the flowers blooming. Swing on the swings and remember what it was like to be carefree. Take some time to laugh together and enjoy the promise of a new year.
Spend his birthday at the library. Many libraries have art displays, music rooms and more. Explore and discover everything yours has to offer. Find a book you both want to read. Take turns reading chapters to each other each night until the book is complete or get an audio book you can listen to together.
