Hug Day is the sixth day of Valentine's Week. Indian movies settled long ago what a good hug does: Munna Bhai called it a jaadu ki jhappi and prescribed it for everything. It needs no shopping, which makes it the best day for couples who've spent all week at the gift shop.
It's the hardest day for long distance couples, because a hug is the one thing a phone can't send. A Wrapped gets closest: your song playing, your photos, the count of nights you fell asleep on call, and coupons for the hug you owe.

How to make one
It takes about five minutes. Your draft saves as you go, so you can stop and come back later.
- 1
Export your chat
In WhatsApp, open the chat, tap their name, then Export Chat. Your phone does the counting. Skip it if you'd rather.
- 2
Add the hug coupons and your song
Write a few coupons for hugs owed, add photos as polaroids, and paste the song you two call yours.
- 3
Send it before bed
They open a gift with their name on it and tap through. At the end, they can write back to you.
inside the story
What goes in
Hug coupons
"Redeem anytime": one bear hug, one hug from behind while they cook, one hug before any hard day.
Your song
Plays inside the story from a Spotify or YouTube link, so they can listen with their eyes shut.
The late night numbers
Messages after midnight and your busiest hour, the times you'd hug if you could.
A together counter
Days since you met, or since your last hug, if you want them to feel it.
Hug Day ideas for near and far
- 01
Meeting today? Hug first, talk later. Then send the link once they're home.
- 02
Long distance: book a call for the minute they wake up and send the Wrapped just before.
- 03
Make coupons for different hugs: the airport one, the after-a-fight one, the 'I got the job' one.
- 04
Send them your old hoodie with the link in the pocket.
- 05
Add a polaroid of your best hug photo, even if someone's eyes are half shut.
- 06
Pick a song that sounds like a hug for the song slide. Slow, warm, nothing that makes them want to dance.
- 07
Hug your parents or your best friend today too. It's a good day for everyone you love.
- 08
Write reasons you love their hugs specifically: how they smell, how long they hold on, where their chin goes.
Hug Day messages to copy
Copy one into the letter slide, or send it with the link.
Happy Hug Day. Consider this a jaadu ki jhappi, delivered by link until I can do it properly.
I owe you a hug. A long one. The kind where neither of us lets go first.
You give the kind of hugs that fix a whole bad week. Happy Hug Day.
Ek jhappi abhi, baaki jab milenge. Happy Hug Day.
Wrap yourself in a blanket, play our song, and pretend it's me. I'll make it up to you soon.
Happy Hug Day to my favorite place to be.
There's a coupon in the link for one hug, redeemable at arrivals. It doesn't expire.
If hugs could travel by WhatsApp you'd have about a thousand unread.
Your chat stays on your phone.
Your browser counts the export on the spot. We only receive the totals, and the page is hidden from search engines, with an optional 4 digit passcode.

Questions
When is Hug Day in 2027?
Hug Day is on 12 February every year, the sixth day of Valentine's Week. In 2027 it falls on a Friday, so plan the hug for after work.
What's a good Hug Day message for long distance?
Name the hug you owe them and when they'll get it. A Hug Day message like "one hug, redeemable at arrivals" works well with a coupon they can tap.
Can I make one without our WhatsApp chat?
Yes. Skip the chat step and build it from personal slides: a letter, photos, hug coupons, a quiz and your song.
Will they be able to reply?
Yes. Every Wrapped ends with a reply box, and their message shows up on your private responses page.
