London to Sydney: the time difference

Sydney is about 10 hours ahead of London, so 8 pm in Sydney is roughly 10 am in London. The gap shifts by an hour for part of the year when the clocks change.

With so many hours between you, spontaneous calls are rare. Schedule the reveal for a weekend morning on one side and an evening on the other.

What a parcel across the border costs you

A parcel from London to Sydney crosses a border, so allow one to three weeks and check customs rules for food, liquids and anything with a battery. A digital gift has none of that.

Buying for your crush

When you are not yet together, humour and thoughtfulness beat grand gestures. A small gift tied to something they mentioned shows you listened.

Make it easy for them to say thank you without having to say more.

If you left it late

Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day, even on the 14th. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Pair one with a handwritten card and they still have something to open.

Restaurants and flowers sell out around the 14th, so book a week ahead if you can. A home dinner with a good playlist is a real alternative.

Opening it together on a call

Pick a slot when you are both free, send the link and stay on the call while they play. The quiz makes a good conversation, because only the two of you know the answers.

The final level you can play today is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon.
