Long-distance Valentine's Day: a gift that crosses the miles

The problem with a long-distance gift is shipping: a parcel can miss the 14th. There are two solutions.

• ✦ The digital book: ready in about 2 hours (24 hours at most), it goes out by link. They open it on their phone, whatever their city.
• ✦ The printed book: it can be delivered straight to their address. Check at checkout that their country is offered, and order by February 3 for delivery on the 14th.

To combine both, give the digital book on the morning of the 14th and let the printed one follow.

The creation flow offers a "long-distance relationship" occasion, which steers the story toward what you live: waiting, reunions, the small rituals that hold the distance.

• ✦ The day you knew it was worth it: the moment one of you said "let's try".
• ✦ The evening calls: the time, the time difference, the comfortable silences.
• ✦ The reunions: the station platform, the airport, the first second.
• ✦ The objects that travel: a forgotten sweater, a playlist, a photo slipped into a book.
• ✦ The day it ends: the last page can tell your future at the same address.

For the full method, read our guide what to write in a couple book.

• ✦ A dinner at a distance: same menu, same time, camera on, each cooking for the other in spirit.
• ✦ Opening the book together: one shares their screen, the other turns the pages. Or each reads their own copy at the same time.
• ✦ A synced movie: you start it at the same moment and comment over the phone.
• ✦ A letter to open at the agreed hour: for example "at 8 p.m., your time".

All six styles work. Film noir suits stories of stations and airports, watercolor a tender story. To compare, see our page which illustration style to choose. The free preview shows your duo drawn before you order.
