Love Bravely with honor

Dubai, UAE, February 11, 2016:  It is that time of year, where love is in the air and all around you. But in Dubai, that might not necessarily be true, even if you are in a loving relationship. Many people living here are far away from their loved ones, so Valentine’s Day can be bitter, sweet. Brave love stories spanning oceans are not uncommon here in Dubai, but luckily we live in an age of new technology where a long distance love can seem closer and more connected. Here are five ways to stay connected to your long distance love using your smartphone. 

1.    Morning Honey! Personalised wake-up call 
Hearing your loved one say ‘I love you’ first thing in the morning can beat all other expensive gift ideas and will leave them feeling good all day. Beat the time difference by sending a pre-prepared video for them to wake up to on Valentine’s Day! 

2.    Dinner for your Valentine  
The classic valentine gesture for your sweetheart…. But suffering the distance? Cook up a storm anyway and send them a gorgeous picture of your good food creation, to indicate what is in store next time you are together. Hey it’s a bit of fun, hopefully it will make them smile. 

3.    A day in your life time-lapse 
One of the trickiest parts of being away from one another, is not being a part of each other’s day. Why not share a snapshot of a day in the life of your city using your smartphone’s timelapse mode to capture the view from your window. 

4.    Get artistic 
Smartphones, such as the honor 5X and honor 7, have an abundance of features you can utilise to get artistic. The light painting mode, for example, captures gorgeous night time pictures which capture car light trails. You can take advantage by painting a heart or your loved ones initials with a light, producing a unique gift showing them how much you are thinking of them. 

5.    Set an E-Date 
So you are hundreds or thousands of miles away, but what better way to stay connected than have a full date, just using your smartphone. Cook together, light some candles, put on the same movie and chat away to your hearts content. So it’s not as good as the real thing, but it will capture the romantic moment to remember until you are next together.

The ‘street smart’ honor 5X launched this week and has been dubbed the budget beast of smartphones. This critically acclaimed* 5X smartphone available for AED 899 could be the perfect gift for your long-distance love, or if you are looking for something more premium, the honor 7 flagship at AED 1,399 has also now been made available in gold.  For a limited time, consumers who purchase the honor 5X and honor 7 gold on www.HonorArabia.com will also receive a beautiful limited edition gift box for ‘lovers’ worth AED 2222. The box includes, a gold honor 7 and a gold honor 5X as well as six gift items for him and for her including chocolates, candles and fragrance.
