Did you know, an average person moves around more than ten times in their life? Many would agree that getting settled in a new place is the most challenging part of moving, but for others like us, making new friends and keeping in touch with the old ones poses a much more significant challenge. 

Whether you live far from your partner, family, friends, or perhaps you are in a long-distance relationship, being away from loved ones can make you feel like there is a great emptiness in your heart.

So, if that's the case with you, keep reading and find n ways to express gratitude to your loved ones even from afar and let them know how special they are to you. 

1. Send a Personalized Gift With a Handwritten Letter

Your parents must have told you about the importance of sending a gift with a handwritten letter. And you may have scorned the idea of writing about your feelings on a piece of paper. But, once you go ahead in your life, you learn the importance of a personalized gift that has a special note for your loved ones. So what could be more thoughtful than personalized total wine gift baskets for your partner living far away and that too with a letter that expresses your love and gratitude to them?

And your loved ones will appreciate the taste of the delicious wine that you have sent with this personalized gift as they walk down memory lane while reading your handwritten note over and over again.

So, instead of just texting or emailing them, take a step forward and give them something unique that will remind them of all the good times you've had together. And when they find a handwritten note inside the gift, it'll make their day even extra special. 

2. Create and Share a Playlist Full of Meaningful Songs 

The longer you've been with someone, the better the chances you know about their taste in music and entertainment. Creating a playlist full of meaningful songs will give a whole new meaning to your relationship and bring back memories you have enjoyed in each other's company. These playlists can include soundtracks from a movie that you've watched together, songs that have made you laugh together, radio hits that remind you of all the long drives you've been to, and even the songs that have inspired and helped you get through tough times. 

And the best thing about creating a playlist is that you can keep adding new or old songs to it as time passes by. Taking time to dig deep into your cherished memories will mean a great deal to your loved ones.

3. Make Special Art for Them

Nothing is more thoughtful than a handmade gift. It's because it demands your time and effort that makes the gift even more special. If you enjoy making art, you can use this opportunity to show your talent and create something unique to give that your loved ones will appreciate wholeheartedly. 

Moreover, to find artistic inspiration, you don't have to look very far. You have to dig a little deeper inside your heart, and you will find all the inspiration you'll need to create art. Also, don't worry if you are not a skilled painter or a writer, because it's the thought that matters. If you can write a poem, sing a song, play a musical instrument, sew, make collages, or more, you are all set. All you need to do is think a little out of the box and find what your partner would love to have that is made primarily by you.  

4. Write Down and Share the List of Your Favorite Memories

Maybe it's the end of the month, and you are running a little low on cash, don't worry. There's still hope for you. This simple and easy way will help you express your love and gratitude to the best of your capabilities that your loved ones can't appreciate enough. One of the most incredible things you can do is make a list of your favorite memories that you share and write them down. As soon as you finish, you'll realize that you have created one of the most valuable gifts you can think of by sharing your favorite memories. 

You can start by adding a turning point in your relationship, but what makes it more special is all the little details that you may or may not overlook. So make sure whatever memories you lose to write down are all filled with more information.

5. Curate a List of Entertaining Videos for Them to Watch 

Taking inspiration from another point on this list, curating a list of entertaining videos that you can find on YouTube can make your loved ones' special day even more special. If you know about your partner's choices, you will see hundreds if not thousands of youtube videos that your special someone will love to watch. 

However, many would argue that watching videos is an enjoyable task, but finding videos can be annoying. This is where you can shine by finding all the videos your partner would appreciate you sharing with them. From everyday life hacks to cat videos and mysteries, there are tons of entertaining and practical videos you can find on Youtube and can further share with your beloved. If you want to make this gift even more thoughtful, you can create a couple of playlists for every mood, so they can watch them when they are feeling sad, bored, or just plain curious. 

6. Cook a Recipe Together and Eat Together on Video Chat

Technology now allows us to do things that we have never even imagined doing before. For instance, you can share a delicious meal even if you live miles away from each other. However, this thoughtful hangout will need some planning in advance. You and your partner can select a recipe you both would like to try and cook at home. Although you both will have to shop for the ingredients separately, you can still cook together in each other's company with your laptop in the kitchen.  

Once you finish preparing your special dish, you can both sit in front of each other with a bit of help from your laptop and enjoy a heartfelt conversation with a tasty meal.

Wrapping up!

Living far away from home and your beloved is not easy. However, you don't need to lose hope and feel demotivated; there are unique and exciting ways to make them feel special. The methods mentioned above will help you accomplish this task and will assist you in finding ways to make your special one feel even more special.
