RE: Valentine's Day Ideas for Long Distance Relationship
So i have the same situation. Since he also goes to school, I'm sending him a little bear that has my college on it that says "someone at Rutgers (or wherever you go) loves you". I found it at my school bookstore. It's small, inexpensive, and adorable. Most colleges have them! good luck

RE: Valentine's Day Ideas for Long Distance Relationship
My husband and I are both in the military and dated long distance for 7 years before we got married last month. We are apart for another year still so we have come up with ways to feel like we are closer together. Skype with a camera on your computer is a GREAT way to be face to face with your person, we get on to talk all the time, and just to see each others face.
For Valentine's Day we both cook the exact same meal then sit down in front of Skype and eat it together, it's the next best thing. He also sent me one card a day in the mail leading up to Valentine's Day. It gave me something to look forward to. Just show her how much you care and how special she is and you can't go wrong!

My boyfriend and I have a long distance relationship while we are in college. We are also tight on money! Last year he sent me a message in a bottle. He used a glass juice or pop bottle (like Fuzze) and took off the label. Inside he filled it with fake rose petals that you can find pretty much anywhere around V-day. He also wrote a beautiful love note to me and tied it up with a pink ribbon. He found a cork that fit the bottle perfectly and wrapped more ribbon around the mouth of the bottle.
He then shipped it to my roommate and had her put it in our toilet! She made SURE it was PERFECTLY clean when she did so! It was just a nice will surprise and I still carry it with me everywhere I go!

RE: Valentine's Day Ideas for Long Distance Relationship
I am in the same boat here. Except I am the girl. My boy friend will be returning home in about 2 months. So, what I am doing for him is sending a sexy Valentine's Day outfit for me to wear and some Valentine's Day boxers for him to wear. Inside the box is Valentine's Day confetti and loads of candy. ( Of course it will be sent out in the over night mail ). I also placed a coupon in there that I bought from a store called Spencers . It is a " anything, anytime you want it " coupon. I guess you could say it's cheesey but I know my guy will love it!

Last year for Valentines day I sent a home-made valentine with dollies to him written in cursive and then sprayed some of his favorite perfume on it.Then since we were FAR apart I created a power point telling the story of our relationship in the past yr. I had a romantic song playing softly in the background as he played the slide show. :) It was pretty cheap and easy to do.

RE: Valentine's Day Ideas for Long Distance Relationship
I'm in the same situation you are, only I'm the girl! This year I'm giving my boyfriend a jar full of massages, it can be enough for a month to a year, with little quotes or reasons why you love them, then tell them to pick one each day, that way your gift lasts a while. There is a website that does this called kind notes but doing it yourself is cheaper and more meaningful.

RE: Valentine's Day Ideas for Long Distance Relationship
I am currently dating the most wonderful girl in the world, that I met over the internet, and have never actually seen. Though, I meet her in 2 months, at which time, I will propose. Our relationship is difficult, because she no longer has a computer and we must communicate strictly over the phone. So for valentines day, we are simply going to watch a movie at the exact same time, and talk about it while on the phone with each other. Also, I plan to write and read to her, a "what I would be doing if I were with you right now" note. Also, helpful tip for any valentines occassion. Make sure your girl knows shes special, and you love her very much.

RE: Valentine's Day Ideas for Long Distance Relationship
My boyfriend && I are in a long distance relationship, && still have dates: movie dates. When a movie that both of us like comes on t.v., we watch it together over the phone. It's corny, I know, but it's something, right?

RE: Valentine's Day Ideas for Long Distance Relationship
Have a phone date. My boyfriend and I are about 3000 miles away right now so I came up with phone dates. You pick a movie and set a time to "meet". Then someone counts down 3,2,1 then you both press play. It really makes a difference to be on the line with each other during the movie. We have really enjoyed it and we get to spend time together. I think it is mostly about commiting that time to each other, it shows you wanna be with her. Note, its Valentines...just say yes when she wants the cheesy love flic. Then after the movie you can flirt and talk into the night. Good luck, I know these LDR are tuff.

RE: Valentine's Day Ideas for Long Distance Relationship
My husband and I were in along distance relationship before we were married. One year I made a huge cookie and decorated it with redhots. I then placed the cookie in a very large box and got two helium ballons. Write "Open carefully" "DO not puncture" "this side up" all over the box. When it got to him he opened the box and two balloons flew into the air and then he got to enjoy the cookie.

My husband and I had a long distance courtship before we were married. The thing that meant the most to me was a shirt of his that he had already worn with his cologne still on it.
I slept in it at night and sent it back when I sucked every last drop of his scent out of it. He would then send me a new one. Sounds crazy but ask any woman how comforting her man's smell is to her.
A detailed personal love note is another meaningful thing to a woman. Being specific in what you love about her and your relationship together is important. Print out and attached to a hand created card. YES! Hand-crafted! It's VERY romantic!
A couple of dollar store treats add a special touch. Don't forget to decorate the box you send with Valentine stickers. I did this for our first Valetine's Day though we were apart, and although he got some ribbing, everyone told him how jealous they were of our relationship.
It's how you feel about each other and not what you can buy that makes a relationship special. Good luck. I know how hard it can be!

My sweetheart arranged for my friends to play our song during an intramural game over the loudspeaker. He even recorded his voice saying he loved me more then anything in the world. It was an awesome surprise and I got to keep the tape. I loved it, and even the opposing team stopped to talk about how sweet it was! Good Luck!

RE: Valentine's Day Ideas for Long Distance Relationship
I don't know how far away you are, but this idea may work, or you can alter it to fit your needs. My cousin did this for his girlfriend. He gave her 3 inexpensive gifts to open. The first was a picture of the two of them and on the outside said "this is for when you miss me" The second was a phone card and on the outside of the envelope said "This is for when you miss me a lot" The third was a gas card and on the outside it said "This is for when you really really miss me".

RE: Valentine's Day Ideas for Long Distance Relationship
My daughter's boyfriend took pictures of them together, and put them on a posterboard with cut outs from magazines, words, pictures, etc. and made a nice romantic poster for her. She got it a year or so ago and still loves it. He commemorated a lot of fun times they had together as well as places they planned on going in the future. It wasn't expensive but meant and still means a lot to her.
Another idea that would be virtually free is to send lots of email Valentines. Send a different one everyday for the days leading up to Valentine's day. You could do the same thing with snail mail cards but it could get pretty pricey. Because she likes animals, you might be able to find some with pugs on them.
You could make up a bouquet of Orange Tootsie Pops. You can usually buy a bag of them for not much, pick out all the Orange ones, put them all together, stems together and tie a bow around them. Put them in a box and mail them to her to arrive near Valentine's Day with a message like "Here's a bouquet I knew you would like."
Along the card line, you could send her a letter a day with a continuing story of your relationship together ending with how much you miss being away from her.
That's all I can think of right now. Maybe some other have ideas.
