How can you make a 10 year olds birthday special with no money?

My son turned 10 today but we just got back from vacation and my husband took 1 1/2 weeks off work and we are broke! How can we make his birthday special? I can bake a cake! But we can't afford a gift.

You can find an inexpensive present at the Dollar Store (you must be able to find some change lying around).

Also you can go out to a park and play together, or give him a coupon saying it is redeemable to an amusement park later this year.

I'm sure you can be creative. :)
