11. Make a website!
Build a website or digital scrapbook about your relationship that you can both update together. It’s a fun way to document your journey, milestones, and special memories. You can include a timeline, photo galleries, blog updates, or even love letters to each other.
For an easy website builder, try Wix, WordPress.com, or Carrd, which offer free options with customizable templates. If you prefer a private space, consider using Canva or Notion to create a shared digital scrapbook filled with pictures, notes, and videos.
For a special surprise, design a website just for your partner—fill it with heartfelt messages, favorite memories, and inside jokes, then send them the link as a sweet gift!
12. Sing karaoke together!
This is a neat idea I've come across. Haha, I'm not sure Frank would do this with me... But for you die hard karaoke singers out there, this might be some fun, and something you can do online with your love! You will need a webcam and mic for this one. Try this site: SingSnap.com. SingSnap even lets you do DUETS! It will record you both at the same time, and even records video as well if you use your webcams 🙂 *Thanks Karringtyn for the suggestion!
13. Read a book together.
A great idea is to read a book together. This is great for those couples who have limited time together, and need to find something to do together when they can't be. Find a book you think you both would enjoy and agree to read a chapter every night. This can spark meaningful conversations and open up new topics for discussion, especially when you're feeling like you've run out of things to talk about.
If you both really enjoy reading, Goodreads is a great platform to stay up to date with each others' progress, set reading challenges, and participate in discussions about the books you're reading together.
14. Explore a Virtual World Together
If you and your partner both have VR headsets, a fantastic way to connect in a more immersive way is by joining a virtual world. Platforms like Meta Quest and SteamVR offer a wide range of VR experiences, from social hangouts to interactive games, and even virtual events, where you can attend concerts, parties, or special meetups together. You can explore virtual spaces, play games, or simply relax and enjoy each other's company in a 3D environment.
For those who don't have VR headsets, you can still enjoy virtual worlds like Second Life, where you can create avatars, socialize, attend virtual events, and go on virtual dates—all while connecting in a unique and interactive way.
15. Get a KissPhone?
A little bit creepy, but somehow I picture myself having tons of fun with it and spending way too much time using it, a KissPhone was an invention idea - a gadget that would allow you to kiss your significant other from afar. It would allow you to send and receive kisses. Kissing the lips on this device and it detects percussion speed, pressure, temperature, and sucking force of the lips when you kiss it, and somehow is able to reproduce these when you send your kiss to another KissPhone. Strange? I don't know, but it sounded like a neat concept 😛 It isn't currently available, but may be in the future.
Here are some actual long distance relationship gadgets that actually exist!
16. Listen to music together.
Sharing music is a great way to feel connected, even when you’re apart. Create and curate playlists together on apps like Spotify or Apple Music, adding songs that remind you of each other or fit a particular mood. You can take turns adding songs or even make themed playlists for different occasions.
If you want to listen to live radio together, iHeartRadio offers free streaming of radio stations from all over the country. Tune in to the same station at the same time to enjoy music, talk shows, or special broadcasts together.
17. Send fun coupons
Create personalized coupons that your partner can redeem the next time you’re together! These can be for anything—hugs, homemade meals, a movie night of their choice, or even a fun date idea. They’re a thoughtful way to build excitement for your next visit and make great additions to care packages. You can handcraft your own or design a custom love coupon book with LoveCoups.

And if things don’t work out? You can even get a virtual divorce! 😆
