Anniversary Night?? Help

OK, here is the scoop. December 18 is our anniversary and you know how December goes on the pocket book! We almost never celebrate unless I get a card or something. I will usually get something little for DH too. Here is my quandary.... Fri night DH set up a night that we could be alone in the guardage wrapping gifts and listening to Christmas music. DH gave me the night off, brought home a tree for the kids to decorate to keep them busy. Rented a movie for them, popped some pop corn, put them all in PJ's and got them all in bed. He have me an early anniversary gift... a gold heart locket with a rose on it and a beautiful card with long note. This is out of the ordinary for DH because although he is a vary loving and caring man he's not great in the romance department and for him to even remember was a huge thing. Now IM feeling guilty that I have nothing planned and after that beautiful night I still have no ideas. What IM trying to ask in a round about way is PLEASE HELP me fugue out something to do for DH that would be romantic but not cost much money. One year I bought one of those glow in the dark pens from a craft store and took a picture down from our bedroom and wrote him a love note he could only see when the lights were out then the next day I put back up the picture. Do you guys have any ideas on this order? HELLLPP

Make his favorite meal, let him chose the tv shows (or at our house, I keep the kids out of his hair so he can play his computer games), and give him a massage. I like to take a towel straight from the dryer in to him as he gets out of the shower as a warm fuzzy I-love-you from time to time. DH loves to have his feet rubbed, but if you ever saw his feet you would understand why this is a treat he doesn't get often!

Set him up a bubble bath, his fave dinner and drink, sans kids, a head to toe massage and something sappy. For dh's birthday I put 35 sticky notes all over the bathroom with a different reason I love him written on each one-he woke up to that.
