I have found that SO's really like to get things in the mail, particularly
if they are far away.  My latest packages have contained ginger notes.
Those are gingerbread cookies cut not into gingerpersons but into squares.
After placing them on the cookie sheet, I use a toothpick to draw hearts,
write cute things like hug and kiss, and draw other pictures.  Use your
imagination but keep it simple.  The impressions have to be somewhat deep.
Bake.  Let cool.  Wrap in plastic wrap or bag.  Place in box and mail.
A pound of cookies only costs about $2.50 parcel post (maybe slightly more
depending on distance traveled.  That's about 500 miles), and since you made
them yourself, your SO thinks they're very nice (and yummy).  They stay
fairly fresh during their 2-3 day trip to wherever they are going.

Some of us like to get flowers for no particular reason.  But they should
be hand delivered.

I've also received drawings.  I can't draw, so I don't do that.
