 As paqbook said, there are little meaningful things that you can do that are special for him, without spending extra money.
More ideas:
- if he eats eggs for breakfast, make smiley faces on it
- light tea candles when drawing a bath for him
- send text messages at random times saying "i love you' or "thinking about you" or "baby is so much like you"
- role play (ask him to pick you as if you were on a date, even if it to have a bite at a nearby deli) but get a baby sitter for a couple of hours. Dress up slightly different than usual.
- hold up the baby to kiss him (and not asking him to change the diapers)
- get cookie cutters in the shape of hearts, and make imprints on his toast or eggs
- make your own small greeting cards and slip that in his briefcase
- google "karma sutra positions' and try new positions with your husband
You see, the most meaningful gestures do not necessarily mean spending any money at all.
You sound like a lovely loving couple! Good for you! Lots of readers could (and should!) learn from you!
