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.

Omg the dollar store we just did this for my little sister in law. She liked the 1$ Dino eggs that you sit in water until they hatch. Then we made her a birthday cake out of ice cream sandwiches we stacked them 3 levels with frosting in between then we let her listen to music and dance. It was barely any money and she was happy.
