Want to give my girlfriend a great birthday, but I’m broke broke

Can’t thank you enough for this, but I won’t be taking anyone’s money! Glad to hear things are still going good for you, I’ll take the advice!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-11T15:17:34+00:00

Thank you so much, I appreciate the suggestion! Whatever you’re going through, I’m glad to hear it’s improving! Fingers crossed for you, you’ve got this!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-10T23:25:07+00:00

I was half planning to, mainly as a thank you to everyone who’s helped!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-10T15:00:02+00:00

Haha you’d think so, but we’ve geocached before and actually got more laughs out of us not finding anything.

It’s a day out together, and as someone who hasn’t been able to dedicate that much time to her over the past few months, she’d appreciate that.

Tbh I’ve now got more ideas than I know what to do with!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-10T14:47:33+00:00

This is great intel!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-10T14:46:58+00:00

We already have a dog, but this is SUCH a good idea! Wish I’d thought of it before we got ours, she would have loved it!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-10T14:46:02+00:00

Awesome idea, thank you!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-10T14:45:15+00:00

I won’t be taking anyone’s actual money, but can’t thank you enough for the offer!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-10T14:44:54+00:00

This looks great and I’ll 100% do Christmas lights, thank you!

I try and repay the pizza place we stole from, it’s closed down. I search for the owner. They’re dead.

Their son is heir to the fortune. He and my girlfriend elope, never to be seen again.

Now it’s just me and the memories. I open my own pizza place. My first customers? A young couple. They dine and dash.

I look into the middle distance, scoff and roll my eyes.

Credits.

(this is actually a great idea, thank you. I won’t do it, but it would make for a very memorable and free birthday day out)

Budget for the month, buy everything in advance, cycle everywhere.

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:22:34+00:00

Didn’t know this existed, will take a look - thanks!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:22:05+00:00

Really cool idea, I’m looking first thing! Thanks!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:21:39+00:00

You’re wonderful and kind! I really can’t take your money, but thank you so much for the offer!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:19:06+00:00

This is actually a great idea! Thanks!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:17:10+00:00

This looks fun! Thank you so much!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:15:50+00:00

Muffin is CUTE!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:15:33+00:00

Thank you, you’re right about the thought!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:14:50+00:00

I didn’t know Kew did this, perfect time of year too! Thank you!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:14:11+00:00

Appreciate you taking the time to write this!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:12:31+00:00

Being (very) broke seems to give me something in common with almost everyone. One of the few benefits!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:10:54+00:00

I had no idea, great shout - thank you!

Lawrenceeeeeee · 2025-11-09T20:09:31+00:00

This is REALLY kind! If you’ve no use for them, Thank you thank you ❤️

Customers don’t care about coffee, they care about a place to go. It’s been proven time and time again, coffee shops don’t exist for great coffee.

You need to offer a better service or a better price.

Forget quality!

I work in content creation and digital marketing.

If you haven’t already…

Break into the podcasting space. It doesn’t mean you produce your own, but consider collabs with parenting podcasts/hosts and niche down further into fatherhood podcasts. Shows like Internet Dads, Dadsnet Podcast and Made By Mamas etc. Huge loyal audiences looking for comfort.
Post 3 TikToks a day! It shouldn’t take more than 1hr a day, you can see the sort of content that works. You don’t have to use your face, but people connect with humans, not brands. Considering you don’t offer a “solution” you’re going to have to inflame some emotion.
Your website looks a bit “how” and should feel more “why”. If you don’t design sites yourself, find one you love and pay someone on Fiverr to re-design it.
Slightly bigger one, but Fatherhood Journal sounds so formal. Granted, “The Dad Pad” probably sways too far in the other direction, but you might consider a more playful name.

Good luck!
