Write him a poem, draw him a picture, make him a box, or otherwise express your creativity with your gift for him. The more limited your budget, the more creative you'll become. Give it to him on the beach, on a rooftop, or another romantic location of your choice.
Cheap materials include:
scrap cardboard
twine
old wrope
newspaper
plastic grocery sacks
packing styrofoam
discarded magazines
fabric from old clothes or sheets
crayons
children's poster paint/tempera paint
house paint
elementary school-issue watercolors
sticks
What to do with these materials:
Sew a backpack/handbag using twine as your thread and cardboard as the "fabric". Ends up being very sturdy, treat it with a coat of oil-based house paint if you want it waterproof.
Crochet a custom-made guitar strap out of twine, wrope, or strips of plastic bags.
Cobble together a shirt or pillowcase out of pre-used fabrics (quilt).
Make an outrageous card with a poem of your own creation on it.
Build a replica of his dream house out of packing styrofoam (or if you're meeting on the beach: sand).
Make a 3-d collage of memories associated with the two of you. Use old magazines, tourist pamphlets, ticket stubs, and lots of color.
