Just because you're miles apart doesn't mean you can't celebrate together.

Nothing says, "I love you" love like food. Surprise your loved one by ordering his or her favourite meal, and have it delivered at their doorstep.

2. Have a date virtually.

Dress up, set up a nice table spread, pour yourself some wine, and preferably order the same cuisine as your SO. When you're both ready, video call your SO and talk just like you would if you were together. Maybe end it on a steamy note as well?

3. Buy your SO a ticket to an event.

Check out events that are happening in their area and gift them a ticket to an event that you know they'll definitely love, be it tickets to a concert or a movie or a comedy show.

4. Make a DIY book containing their favourite memes or the best texts that you two have shared.

5. Make a mixtape.

Go old school and make a mix tape for your loved one. Instead of the traditional cassette, you can make a CD of songs, or make a playlist and send it via email, or put the songs onto a USB drive and mail it to them.

6. Watch movies or TV shows together.

Call your SO first thing in the morning. It will make their day special. After a busy day, call them again and talk till you fall asleep. It will almost feel like you're right there with them.
