Fill a box with mementos, notes, and items that represent your relationship right now. Bury it or store it away to open on a future Valentine’s Day.

Example: Include ticket stubs, printed photos, and a list of your favorite memories together.


9. Volunteer Together
Give back as a couple by volunteering at a local shelter, food bank, or any organization that means something to both of you.
