It's infectious
Yeah, it doesn't have to be all grand gestures or anything, especially if you live together. The little things that make the other person feel appreciated are important. I like having the bed made, but I wake up before my boyfriend does so I'm not home to make it. He knows I like the bed made even though he doesn't, so he'll make the bed for me on most days. We try to make sure that we're taking proper turns with the regular chores, and we thank each other for doing those (even when it's the other person's "turn").

For bigger things, if you do something you genuinely love and tailor it to their interests, it can be very special. I love crafting, so I make things for my boyfriend that he's mentioned wanting. He runs our D&D campaign, and he'll create situations for the group with elements I've mentioned would be cool in passing.

You said you can program- can you make something for her to interact with? That is something that you're good at and could easily be tailored to stuff she likes.
