Write an article based on this "Send her flowers. Send her cookies. Send her a CD mix. Send her a postcard. Send her something from your location."
This simple yet effective move is guaranteed to make her smile. Whether it's Valentine's Day, her birthday, or even a day during a random week when you know she's feeling a bit blue, then making the gesture to send her some flowers along with a short note will make her see that she really means something to you.  Ideally, knowing which flowers she likes the most is better than sending her a generic bouquet or flowers; see if you can find out her favorite type of flower without being too obvious. Keep it a surprise. Don't let her know they're coming (though you should make sure she'll be home to accept the delivery). What, you're too manly to bake some cookies, package them properly, and send them to your special lady's address? Pish posh. If you want to go out of your way to impress the girl and show off your culinary skills, then make some simple chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookies and send 'em her way. Or if your mom or sister has made another batch of her famous cookies, send several of them to your special girl.  Really: she'll be impressed that you think she's so special that you want to share your favorite sweets with her. It goes without saying that you should only mail them to her when you know she'll be home. You should wait for the cookies to cool down and then send them off as soon as you can after that. This is even more romantic than going into a store and buying a CD for the girl. Make a compilation of all of your favorite tunes, making sure that they are songs that she actually likes. If you love Metallica but are pretty sure that's not her thing, you can keep it off the list. If there are any special songs that make you think of each other, then you can add those to the mix. You can write Katie's ultimate mix or something short to remind her of you. You don't have to pick something overly sappy or sentimental. Pick something that puts her in a fun frame of mind and makes her think of you. If you've been traveling, send her a cute and short postcard with a picture of where you've been and say that you've been thinking of her. Just drop her a few lines about some of the fun stuff you've been doing without making her feel left out and drop a quick, "You'd love it here!" or something that would make her feel like she's still on your mind no matter how far away you are. If you want to be cute, you can send her a postcard even if you haven't gone anywhere. Send her a postcard from your hometown and say, "I love it here!" It'll make her laugh and will score you major originality points. If you're spending the summer in Florida, send her a few shells you found on the beach. If you're backpacking in Europe, send her a small souvenir from the city where you stopped. If you're just spending the summer at your grandmother's apple orchard, send her a bushel of apples that aren't fully ripe yet. Do something to give her a sense of place and to think about you in another location. The ultimate goal is always to have the girl both thinking of you, thinking you're thoughtful, and wanting to be where you are.
