Make each other a romantic playlist
Every couple has songs that make them think of their partner. Why not put them together into a special playlist that they can enjoy? You could even work on a playlist together! Youtube, Spotify, Soundcloud, Apple Music, and other online services have features that allow you to put together a playlist of songs for your loved one.
In our long-distance relationship, we have a playlist that never fails to put us in a good mood and make the other think of happier times when we were together. Our playlist includes songs that are inside jokes, songs that we’ve danced to or sung, songs that played on coffee shops during dates, and other songs that hold special significance to our relationship. When you miss your partner, nothing is better than having a way to feel closer to them through music.

Netflix & Chill is the classic long-distance date night. For this Last Minute Online Valentine’s Day Idea, why not spice it up with some specialty popcorn? You can purchase popcorn flavoring shakes at the dollar store or grocery store, or you can even buy a bag that’s pre-made.
We love to match our popcorn flavors and we usually lean towards making White Cheddar popcorn at home with our matching flavoring shakers.

Whatever you choose, you’re sure to feel closer together through the power of music.

Make a couples bucketlist togeher of what you'll do when you're together
“When we reunite” or “When we meet in person” can sometimes start to feel like saying “When we win the lottery” but it’s important to keep dreaming together.
Start a list of all the things you want to do when you can see each other together in person. What foods will you eat? Where will you go? Will you get a pet? Do you want to travel? Have kids? Move into a new house? What are you most looking forward to? What’s the first thing you’ll do once you meet in person?
It’s fun to think forward! Keep your hopes alive by making sure that you’re looking out at the road in front of you, not in your rear view mirror. Make this an even more interactive online Valentine’s Day idea by using Google Docs together so you can see when the other person is typing.
Breakfast in bed
Super last minute and super romantic. Whatever you’re cooking for breakfast, bring it back to bed with you and snuggle under the blankets for a cozy morning together.
You don’t have to make anything fancy to still feel the love on your virtual Valentine’s Day, but pancakes or waffles would definitely be my go-to breakfast choice.
Make chocolate strawberries together
Chocolate strawberries may seem complicated; but it’s really only two ingredients! Chocolate. Strawberries. In one run to the grocery store you can pick up both and have a special online Valentine’s date making them together and enjoying this special romantic treat.
