Giving gifts is a lovely way to show you care and love someone. These gift ideas are thoughtful and unique:
- Personalized Gifts: Watches with engravings, photo albums made just for you, and books with your name on them are all great keepsakes.
- Experience Gifts: Instead of a cash gift, think about giving an experience like a day at the spa, a weekend trip, or a cooking lesson.
- DIY Gifts: Gifts that you make yourself, like a scrapbook full of memories or a quilt out of old t-shirts, can mean a lot.

- Shared Hobbies: Start a new hobby with your partner or keep up with an old one.
- Travel Together: Make plans to go on trips you’ve always wanted to see.
- Stay in Touch: If you can’t be with someone in person, use video calls, text messages, or social media to stay in touch.
