I'm going to have to somewhat disagree with blunty and agree with bigais here.
Your man will appreciate .things you can do. more than things you can make.
Tell him the truth. Tell him you had no money this time, but still really wanted to make sure he was happy and felt good on his birthday. and the rest is up to your imagination. Make him a card, maybe with some "favors" in it, things like that. Believe me, he'll like that.
You could buy a bag of small Hershey's kisses, and one of those really big ones, then write some cheesy but cute say like "There's always one that stands out," or something like that. Or get a few bags of different types of Hershey's kisses, and again, write something cheesy like "Wanna figure out haw many ways there are to kiss? "
Also, you could fill his car with balloons. But before you blow the balloons up, up can put a piece of paper with a reason of why you like him or why you find him so amazing, etc, in there for him to read when he pops it.
Are you at all artistic (or at least artsy-crafty)? Do you sew? Are you a good cook? Whatever you are good at, use that skill to make him something really nice. And make him a beautiful card, too. Then present it with a smile and a hug and a kiss. I'll bet he likes that more than whatever you would have bought if you had the cash.
Been there done that! IF you can get a box of chocolates from ANYWHERE take out the chocolate and write notes on little sheets of papers. Then fill the box up and give it to him. Either you can read then together while watching the sun set or he can read them at home by himself. Other than that go to a park and hang out or maybe to the beach. What ever happened to cheap dates our parents talk about huh?
Gifts for guys...meaningful but cheap...hmmm...Do you guys share any special moments that you could recreate? Would he like a gag gift or two like from the dollar store that shows you spent time picking it out and something you could laugh over? If all else fails, put on a lacy bra and underwear and wrap a big red bow around your tummy! Happy Birthday, honey, I'll blow your, uh, candles!
Flowers or some kind of scrapbook is what I suggest. It doesn't cost much to organize your pictures and put them in a pretty scrapbook and girls always love that for their birthday.

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
I'm pretty content with driving anywhere with no particular destination. just the luxury of not knowing where your going to end up and kind of adventure is ahead of you whether its taking a walk on the beach or in a park or just grabbing some coffee.
Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
Anything they ask me I am an open book and will pretty much respond to anything. if they wanted to get that personal on the first date, then they would probably learn more then if there were being preservative.

Yes, absolutely. There are lots of girls out there who aren't shallow and will see through looks into who you are. Just be yourself and don't get defeated. Also, you probably won't meet these girls at...
If she loves you, she won't care that much that her ring isn't huge. Ask her if she'd rather wait until you can save up more money to get her a nicer one, or if shed rather get a smaller one now. More...
