Another post about my boyfriend and the struggle it is to have one not so close to meÂ
Â
during a holiday that is all about love. I love my boyfriend. He’s the best thing that has everÂ
Â
happened to me. But sometimes I really hate him. Like around Valentines Day. I get moody andÂ
Â
angry that he can’t be with me. It’s not his fault or mine it’s just hard. He treats me like aÂ
Â
princess and never fails to send me flowers and a little gift.Â
Â
The past few years we were fortunate enough to spend 2 out of 4 Valentine’s Day’s together.Â
Â
That’s pretty good considering we are 8 hours away from each other. Anyway, while a lot of theÂ
Â
focus on this holiday is the guy giving the girl something or going out somewhere fancy, to me,Â
Â
it’s really just a day to be thankful and appreciate the relationship that I am fortunate enough toÂ
Â
have.Â
Â
For all my long distance girls out there, here’s some cute little ideas of things we canÂ
Â
send our man to make him feel appreciated.Â
Â
1. A few years ago, Under Armor made limited edition Boxerjocks that are pictured on theÂ
Â
left. Yes, I proudly branded my name on my boyfriend’s boxers. Anyway, this year theyÂ
Â
made ones that have cupid on them, they’re super cute and if your SO works out likeÂ
Â
mine does, this will go over BIG.
Â
Â
Â
Â
2. If you’re more creative than I am, you can send him envelopes filled with little notes forÂ
Â
different situations and label them “open when…” I’ve seen them on pinterest andÂ
Â
they’re so cute, unfortunately, I’m not creative, but I’m sure lots of you are!
Â
Â
3. CUPCAKES! Just because he’s your boyfriend, doesn’t mean that he doesn’t like sweetÂ
Â
treats on V-Day too! My favorite is Baked by Melissa. They are amazing and she evenÂ
Â
has gluten free cupcakes now.
Â
Â
4. Something sentimental. After all, it is Valentine’s Day and since you can’t actually beÂ
Â
there to be all girly and gushy towards him, why not send him something to make himÂ
Â
just as uncomfortable? Whether it’s a dress he loves on you, a ring or a cute note, giveÂ
Â
him something to remind him of how much you love him and cannot wait to see himÂ
Â
again.
