If your first date was within the city you are living in, then you can plan the date all over again.

- Make a bunch of “open later” cards, including one for Valentine’s Day
You can write a select number of cards for your loved one to open on different days. For example, you can have one that says “open today”. Then you can have another one that says “open on a bad day” or “open when you want to smile”. You can store all the cards in a nice letter box, that your loved one can open at any time to have a reminder of your love for them.
- Create a memory jar
You can do this by decorating a nice jar and attach a label called memory jar. Inside you can put anything you’ve saved. Maybe it’s a note from your loved one, movie tickets, plane tickets, or something else. It’s ok if you don’t have many things saved yet, you can just add memories as they come. This is a really fun idea for you to be able to open at any time, and look back at all the great experiences you had together as a couple!

When you are finished, you can tie them together and hand them over to your significant other. This is sure to make them smile.
