What's something sweet you can do in a long-distance relationship
Hi! Me and my boyfriend have been together for a while (we're long distance), and I was just brainstorming some sweet things I could do for him. He's genuinely the sweetest and kindest person I know and I want to do whatever I can to give a little bit of that back to him. Thanks :3

I'm so glad you asked this! Here are some of my favorite ways to show your long-distance partner how much you care about them:
Send them a handwritten letter. It can really be about anything, but I suggest writing something romantic, like your favorite memory with them.
Make them a dedicated playlist. Add in some of their favorite songs and songs that remind you of them.
If you're creative, trying drawing or painting your partner and then sending it to them. This can be such a sweet surprise!
Order them their favorite takeout. Of course, you'll want to be sure they'll be home for it!
Adopt something in your partner's name, like an endangered animal or even a star. This is my favorite suggestion because it's so deeply romantic and meaningful.
