Fuck.
ETA: Feeling this hard right now. Protip: Always buy important gifts that have to be complete with a deadline. Always. I know you might be thinking "but something that I make for my spouse's birthday will be much more meaningful." Stop. Buy a gift. It will save a lot of strife.
I think I'll take that advice. Thanks!
Make things as a bonus though.
Make things like what?
Whatever your partner would like that you feel like pouring yourself into, if you are so inclined. They will absolutely appreciate it. Just set yourself up for success and avoiding hurting their feelings by not relying on it as the present.
Think of such project-gifts as extra prizes to shower your loved ones in, if and when they are finished.
Or share food rather than other types of gifts
That's good too, if it fits the needs/wants of the given scenario. Just don't do the big project that you've never done before as the primary gift. I say this purely out of interest for others' happiness and ability to avoid my mistakes.
