Deadcan Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 HI all! Thanks again for the advice about my LDR and her obsession with Warcraft. Things have been much better. I am always looking for fun ideas and things to do/send her during our LDR. So tonight I saw this advert for a live butterfly garden where you can raise some caterpillars into real butterflies and I know her love of all animals and wildlife so I ordered her the butterfly garden. She LOVES it. She will take pictures of their progress and send them to me and it's a wonderful several week project we can both feel like we are working on... http://www.shop-insectlore.com/Butterflies/ is where I found the kit, it was $20 plus shipping and handling... Anyway i wanted to share this idea with you all.. They also have ladybugs and a few other cool kits. And something else I have been enjoying that costs a lot less is mailing her letters and cards where I share different themes in. I am working on the 100 reasons I love you and the "promises" theme currently where I make different promises to her about us and our futures. This is a prelude to when I see her this Saturday and I am giving her a diamond promise ring. The fun thing though about my letters and cards is I have been hiding words in and among my thoughts almost like a word search. Words like "I love you" or "you are my everything" and I have told her there are secrets in my cards/letters to look for... Eh, it may be cheesy but I have really enjoyed word smithing these thoughts to her.. Even if the post takes a few days to deliver them the anticipation has been wonderful. She enjoys them as well. It's been a lot of fun. Do you guys have any other fun ideas to share beyond the normal flowers/chocolates to send your love? Thanks all! I love this site... - Derric Aka Deadcan....
aerogurl87 Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Deadcan that's soooo sweet! Hmm, since my boyfriend lives in another country (and international shipping costs are horrible) sending presents (unless it comes from somewhere within Canada) isn't something I do much. But I did make a music video on youtube with the lyrics to this song I really like that reminds me of him and sent it to him. He hasn't done anything overly sweet for me, but he does have all these surprises for my visit next month that he's enjoying teasing me with, lol. Although I know what one of them is, and that's that we're going horseback riding which I'm so excited for.
Deeblondie82 Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I think those Ideas are great! I just think by keeping text messages fresh. Like my guy is a major jokester. I send him jokes that keep the convo going.. now mine are real corny lol but I like to keep things in a good mood. Even if you got good facts or fiction you can play a fact or fiction game.. he is full of information so id lose lol
