Thankfully, the world is slowly but surely on its way to recovery from the pandemic because of the vaccine roll-outs. However, traveling still poses some threats. Long-distance couples or those who are still immobile because of restrictions still have to wait for a little while and devise a few ways to make each other feel less alone. Special occasions such as anniversaries are extra tricky. Distance should not stop you from celebrating milestones with each other which is why today, we will help you! We will share a few tips for celebrating your anniversary as a couple when you are miles away from each other. Check this out!
- Send special gifts
Since it is your anniversary, it has to be special! For sure, you have been sending gifts and other things to each other. However, what will set your anniversary gift apart from all the other gifts you send as a gesture of love? You can send your partner some luxury gifts like a luxury watch! For ladies, Blancpain watches are quite trendy! Just look up “Ladies Blancpain” on the search bar and you will see reliable deals online. Just make sure that it is a legitimate seller like watchshopping.com.
You can also choose a piece of meaningful jewelry! For men, you can never go wrong with a luxury watch as well. If luxury gifts are not your thing, you can also channel your inner creativity and create something special for your significant other!
- Organize online drinking sessions
The saving grace for long-distance couples in this generation is the Internet! Since we have the advantage of using the Internet, make the most out of it! For your anniversary, you can organize an online drinking session maybe with FaceTime, Zoom, Discord, or any other video calling application. Just schedule a video call and have drinks with you. You can organize a fun drinking game that will let you know more about each other or have a great time.
- Send food
Having a few drinks can never be fun without food! Another special gesture you can also do for your partner is to send them food. If you cannot go out on a date at a romantic restaurant, then let the date and the restaurant go to your partner! You can also hire other people to set up something romantic for your partner. Another useful innovation with the digital space today is online deliveries.
- Watch a game simultaneously
Some stadiums might still be closed or at least have the crowd controlled because of the pandemic. Some stadiums are also reopening at 100%. Since you are still far away from each other, you can also celebrate your anniversary by watching the big game together while on a video call. For sure, both of you have your own favorite teams in the NBA or any other sport out there.
- Hold a special watch party
You can still do “Netflix and chill” even if you are not together physically. Another convenient innovation with streaming sites today is watch parties where you can watch a movie at the same time. You may have done this before, but you can be creative about making it extra special! Send lots of good food, make time for each other, and pick a really good movie!
- Create a video
If you are skilled with video-making apps and software programs, you can also create a heartfelt video to show your appreciation to your partner. You can include a slideshow of pictures with a song that best speaks about your relationship. You can also include a video message from your common friends, their family, and from you, of course! Our ultimate goal? To make them cry tears of joy!
- Record a song
Another thing that you can do is to record a song of your own. Sending your partner a song will be perfect if both of you have a particular bond about music. Well, even if you do not have that bonding, recording a song still sounds like a good idea. Write a poem about how you feel about them and the things you want to say. After this, just add a melody! Record yourself while singing it and do a few edits. Send this to them on your anniversary!
- Create a playlist
Another thing you can try if you are not confident about the vocals department is to create a playlist. Creating a playlist now becomes extra easier because of music streaming apps like Spotify. You might have done this a lot of times before. Therefore, the challenge here is to make it extra special because it is your anniversary playlist!
- Communicate with each other
Sure, we have the advantages of the Internet. However, it is sometimes odd how communicating is extra hard even if you have the Internet, or sometimes, even if you meet each other every day. The key to a strong relationship is having healthy communication. Even if you have a long-distance relationship, you can make it work as long as you have a healthy way of communicating.
Your anniversary is the perfect time for you to tell everything you want to say to your partner that you cannot tell them on any other day. You can reminisce about your favorite moments together, reaffirm your love and commitment for each other, and more. Being in a long-distance relationship is hard and makes both of you anxious. This day is the perfect time to clear all those.
- Make plans
Just as you were communicating, make plans for you to see each other again or how you will take your relationship from there. Having plans will make both of you stronger because you also hold on to something. You can plan your next trip or who visits who.
Trust each other
Here are just some of the things that you can try out when you spend your anniversary apart. You can also be creative and do more than one of these tips! You can also try out other things. The only important thing is for both of you to love and trust each other.
