2. Mail A Handwritten Note
We know you have a lot of things to say to your long-distance partner, and there are plenty of ways to do it. But, nothing comes close to the old-world charm of a handwritten note. Why? Because you can’t take out an envelope containing an email and hold it with love.
3. Go Where You First Met
If one of you is in the city where you first met, go there and call your partner from there. In fact, make it a video call. No matter where you go, that place – whether it’s a school, college, cafe, or restaurant – will always hold a special place in your relationship.
4. Take Them Around The Neighborhood
If they haven’t been to your new place or city, get them on video chat and take them around your neighborhood. Introduce them to your local park, your nearest cafe, your favorite restaurant, the security guard you run into daily, etc. They will get a real feel of a day in your life, and when they eventually visit you, it will be special.
5. Get The Same Dish Delivered
Figure out a restaurant near them and get some food delivered to them. Now, make sure that you get the same dish delivered to your place as well. That will make your lunch or dinner extra special. You will be able to compare the cooking styles in both the cities as well.
6. Start A Garden
A cool idea would be to start something new together. A garden is on top of that list. Start with a couple of plants or maybe a simple herb garden in your kitchen. Starting something together will give you both a sense of ownership. You can compare how both your gardens are coming along and bond over it.
7. Turn Them Into A Cartoon
Take a couple of their photographs and turn them into a cute little cartoon figure. There are plenty of ways you can do it online. You can also visit a local artist to get it done if you want to spend a little bit more money. Get it framed, and send it well in advance so it reaches them by Valentine’s Day.
8. Introduce Them To Your Friends
Maybe you have made new friends in your new city. This would be a good time to introduce your partner to your new gang, either in the office or at the gym. This is to let them know who you hang out with regularly and whom to get in touch with in case of an emergency.
9. Tour Their City
Why just stop at exploring your neighborhood when you can take your love all over your new city? Put them on a video call and take them around to the most famous landmarks, streets, markets, or restaurants in your city. Be their tour guide from far away.
10. Build A Website For The Two Of You

16. Work Out Together
Just because it’s Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean that you take a break from working out. Pick a workout on YouTube, get your partner on a video call, and do the workout together. This will make it really easy when it’s time for chocolates and dinner. It’s like having all the fun without the guilt!
17. Send A ‘Thank You’ Note
Instead of merely gifting something, add a ‘thank you’ note to it. For all the times they have stood by you, listened to you, supported you, waited for your call, checked up on you, and the many things that the love of your life has done for you – it’s time to thank them.

Yes, gifting is especially tricky when the recipient is far away, but there are some time-tested ways to do it right.

21. Involve Their Friends, Coworkers, Or Neighbors
This requires some planning. Get in touch with their friends, coworkers, or neighbors and plan something in advance.

Or a friend from work could play that special song that describes you guys in their office. It may be embarrassing, but certainly in a good way.
22. Have Breakfast Together
Of course, dinners are romantic, but why wait till the end of the day to share a meal? Kick off your Valentine’s Day celebrations by having breakfast together. Make their favorite meal, ideally something simple, and enjoy a lazy breakfast while on video chat. Have it in bed or in your PJs – just don’t make it formal.
23. Stream A Movie Together
This goes without saying. You should both make a list of movies that you have missed out on recently and have a long-distance movie date. Pick one that’s a feel-good comedy that you can both laugh out loud at and pause whenever you want to talk about it.
24. Make A Schedule Of Things To Do Together
