Love is in the air and Valentine’s Day knows no distance. Of course, loving someone shouldn’t be reserved for just a day, but it’s also the perfect excuse to celebrate your love with your partner.
Of course, trying to navigate Valentine’s Day from a different continent away can be hard. Here are four easy ways to celebrate the day that will show how much you care—from any time zone.
Plan a virtual dinner date.
Just because you can’t have a dinner date in person doesn’t mean you can’t still have one. Plan a special video call during their mealtime. Use CadRemit to send them money in advance so they can order their favorite dish or prepare a homemade meal. Even better, surprise them with a food delivery that arrives during your call. There’s nothing like watching their face light up when an unexpected treat arrives.
Give them a spoil-yourself day.
If you were with them, you’d probably do things together to pamper each other on Valentine’s Day. Send money just for them to indulge themselves—whether it’s a relaxing day at the spa or a little shopping spree. Make it clear this money isn’t for bills or responsibilities—it’s purely for them to feel special. Let them treat themselves on your behalf.
Surprise them with a visit.
This might be the most thoughtful thing you can do for them on Valentine’s Day. Give them an opportunity to see you in person. So, if you can, take that trip. And if you use CadRemit, you can spend in the local currency of the country visiting, with no hidden charges.
Support their dreams.
Valentine’s day isn’t just about romance—it’s about showing love in a way that also supports them and makes an impact. If they have a business, help them restock. If they’re students, contribute to their education by sending money for their tuition or use CadRemit to pay their fees directly to any Canadian school they attend.
Long-distance relationships take extra thought and effort. Remember, you don’t need a special occasion to show love, but Valentine’s season is a perfect excuse to do something extra. Sometimes, the best way to say “I love you” isn’t through words – it’s through actions that make their lives better like sending money.
