Love knows no borders, but when your Valentine is miles away, celebrating can feel tricky. Whether they’re studying abroad, working overseas, or living in another country, making them feel special shouldn’t be complicated. That’s where Afriex comes in—to make sending love and money as simple as sending a text message.
This Valentine’s Day, forget expensive shipping and last-minute stress. Whether you’re sending a gift or finding creative ways to connect, here are some thoughtful ways to celebrate your love across borders!
Practical Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day From Afar
If you can’t be there in person, don’t worry! Love is about meaningful gestures, and there are plenty of ways to make the day special.
1. Plan a Virtual Date Night
Thanks to technology, you can still “be together” no matter the distance. Pick an activity you both enjoy and make it a date!
- Netflix & Chill (Remotely) – Watch a movie or series together using Teleparty or screen sharing.
- Cook the Same Meal – Pick a recipe, cook together over video call, and enjoy a romantic dinner.
- Game Night – Play online games, trivia, or even a couples’ quiz to test how well you know each other.
2. Write a Love Letter or Digital Scrapbook
In the age of instant messaging, a heartfelt, handwritten letter is a rare and special gift. If mailing isn’t an option, create a digital scrapbook with your favorite pictures, messages, and memories.
Try tools like Canva or Google Slides to make it look beautiful!
3. Surprise Them with a Special Delivery
Send flowers, chocolates, or their favorite meal through a local delivery service. Many international platforms allow you to order gifts for delivery in different countries.
- UberEats, DoorDash, Glovo or Chowdeck– Surprise them with dinner.
- Online Florists – Companies like 1-800-Flowers deliver worldwide.
- Local Gift Shops – Support small businesses by ordering a handmade gift!
4. Create a Personalized Playlist
Music has a way of bringing people together. Make a playlist of songs that remind you of each other—your “love soundtrack.” You can even record a voice message introducing each song and why you chose it.
5. Send a Surprise Video Message
Ask their friends or family to record short messages, then edit them into a cute video compilation. Seeing the faces of loved ones will make their day extra special!
6. Plan Your Next Trip Together
Distance is temporary! Take this time to research your next vacation, create a Pinterest board with travel ideas, and start saving towards your reunion.
