You may take the time to choose a movie or show that you want to watch together, hug your fave pillow, and use Netflix Party to stream together, in real-time, even if you two are miles away. You may also message each other as you’re watching as if you are just next to each other.

You may also include songs that are significant to the two of you or create a musical journey through your relationship with the songs you’ve enjoyed together. These music streaming apps also have an immense catalog of playlists, specifically curated for the special day. Just be sure to secure a subscription for uninterrupted listening.

Set a gaming date

One another great way of spending quality time with your partner is through gaming. Gaming could be fun as well, especially with the people you love. A game date can be both fun and intimate as it can bring you and your partner closer together. Grab your gaming consoles, whether that’s a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, an Xbox, or even a PC or mobile, go on and game on. We’ll never know where would an intense gaming lead, but just make sure you won’t end up fighting due to the game, huh?
