What are the best ways to show you love someone (without spending too much)?

Hey everyone, my boyfriend's birthday is coming up. It is the last birthday that I am going to celebrate with him before he leaves for a job posting overseas. Could be years before I see him again.

I want him to know how precious he is to me, but I don't have a lot of budget because of my circumstances. Wanted to know what are the ways that you all here have showed someone you love them, without the luxury of a big budget?

Could be places, activities, things you all did, that was very memorable for your partner, I would love to hear you guys share. Thank you so much in advance!!

How much budget do you have exactly, so that we can all help you think here :D

To be honest, I think most partners prefer meaningful, simple gifts to just an expensive present.Especially because he is going for a job overseas, you should give him something that he can keep with him and get reminded of you when he is there.

The best gift I gave to my partner (ex boyfriend oops) is this calendar that I bought, and everytime we met that year I would write a short snippet inside. By the end of the year, I completed the calendar and gave him a year's worth of memories!

Some ideas I have that was never executed:

If your boyfriend loves food, then can bring him on a food tour around Singapore to eat his favourite things.
Bring a polariod and album with you, spend the day making memories and taking pictures + writing little captions down

Let us know what you decided to do!!
