dreamloverrrs:

21. Send a stuffed animal for your partner to cuddle with(even better with a personalized voice message)
22. Send each other a plant to take care of
23. Skype yourself to sleep
24. Create a blog together to share ideas, places to go, etc.
25. Download an app made specifically for couples(“couple” with a thumb kissing, “Avocado” with a chest hugging, etc)
26. Send matching shirts with slogans, pictures and so on
27. Classic: 50, 100 and more reasons why you love them written on the little paper hearts and sent as a “heart attack”(lots of hearts in one box)/notes in a jar/etc
28. Write something sweet on a pillow and send it to them or maybe get two matching ones to stay connected
29. Send them a care package filled with the other person’s favorite snacks, candies or make a creative reference(star wars chocolates that look like R2-D2, for example). You can also send them packages for the times when they’re sick(this idea can be used for creating “open when” letters like open when you’re sick and so on)
30. Buy a copy of “Person of the year” issue of time magazine and put a picture of them on the cover. Write an article about why they should be the person of the year and send it to them.
31. Send them a box of chocolates and under each chocolate place a short love note. Send it to them
32. Send a love letter in a bottle
33. Buy a nice picture frame and send it to them with your picture in it. Write a special note on the back of the frame.
34. Send a coloring book back and forth until it’s complete
35. Share a journal. Go back and forth and write little sweet notes, letters, respond to each other’s writing or expand to it. Send it back and forth until it’s complete
36. Make one another some homemade gifts(food/crafts/woodwork/postcards/etc)
37. Send them a box of chocolates and write a letter on each of them(using white chocolate) creating phrases like I love you, I miss you etc
38. Generate a story about you two using hoochymail.com. It can be sexy, x rated or off the wall(you can also use any other story generator)
39. Cook together (skype) or go for walk together (send videos and pictures, talk on the phone)
40. Buy each other a Pillow Talk pillow to listen to each other’s heartbeat (available in May)
41. Make plans. Not necessarily romantic ones, just rational plans. It can really help with handling the distance.
