Connecting with loved ones from afar

IF YOU CAN’T BE WITH YOUR FAMILY THIS YEAR, WE HAVE SOME IDEAS TO CONNECT WITH LOVED ONES FROM AFAR:

  • Write a letter:
    When was the last time you hand-wrote a letter? You can read it to your loved one or mail it. How special would this be?
  • Make a playlist: Make a list of your favourite songs – new music that or revisit old tunes that you listened to as a family.
  • Make time for her: Skype / Video call / Face time: Reminisce about your favourite memories and plan the first thing you’ll do together when you can celebrate life together again.
  • Capture a memory: Once you’ve found the perfect photo, Orms »Canvas & More » and QPhoto » will print it, frame it, and deliver it.
  • Cook together: Pick a meal you love and cook it together over video chat.
