I feel really bad because my boyfriend is planning to buy me something I've wanted for a long time and it's rather expensive.
Since I can't get a job, I don't have enough money to get him something really nice. I do art commissions and all I have is $20 but right now.. He has it so I don't spend it on anything.
I've been working on a drawing for over a month. But I want to make something else that tells him how much he means to me. What kind of handmade things would you want to receive? Any ideas?
I know he'll love whatever I make but I want to make him something really amazing.
If this helps,
He likes to paint & sculpt, play the piano & guitar and he likes photography.

He got some tshirts and shorts and ironed on picture of us and writing. That's always cute :). And I made a big scrapbook of 365 reasons why I loved him, inside jokes, memories, and pictures and then I wrote a couple paragraphs at the end. You could get him some guitar accessories if he doesn't already have them like a capo or some more picks or a book of chords and/or songs from his favorite band or something. Or if you know music, you could write a piano song or a guitar song along with lyrics. He'd love that no matter how good you were at piano/guitar. Or if he's taken any pictures of you two together, you could get that printed out and framed :D. Or you could get a professional to go take pictures of yall. Or make a collage of pictures of yall or a montage. There are so many things you could do, your boyfriend sounds a lot easier to buy things for than mine was! Good luck and just be creative and have fun with it :). He will love it no matter what if you put time and effort into it and it's from the heart.

if he likes photography why not make him a personal picture book or calendar with pictures of personal things like you&him or a combination of photos showing yours and his artwork.
can you sculpt? if so why not make a sculpture of him or something he cherishes.
you could always paint or draw somthing onto a canvas for him to put somwhere.
if all else fails write him a song or something expressing how you truly feel about him and how important he is in your life.
