In the modern dynamic world, couples in love can’t stay together 24/7. Sometimes, we need to leave our girlfriends or boyfriends for several weeks or months because of our work, studies, or other commitments. This article will help you to choose the best long-distance gift for your better half to always stay connected. All these items are stylish, affordable, and suitable for people of any age.
A Lamp for Long-Distance Relationship
A long-distance friendship lamp allows you to literally stay in touch with your partner. You buy one device for yourself and the other one for your better half. Both lamps can have the same design or each one might have its unique looks. You touch one lamp, it lights up — and the other one lights up simultaneously, no matter how large the distance between them! You immediately understand that your partner is thinking of you.
To be able to work, such devices need only Wi-Fi and electricity. They have a LED element inside that provides bright and beautiful light.
You’ll be able to adjust the following parameters of your friend’s lamp:
- Color
- Mode
- Brightness
You won’t need to switch it off manually each time because it will go back to black automatically in a while. Such lamps are incredibly easy to use and entirely safe. They can nicely fit an interior of any style and they can serve you both for many years.
A Funny Pillow or Pillowcase
If your soulmate is used to hugging you while falling asleep, they might suffer from insomnia when they go to bed alone. A “Hug This Pillow Until You Can Hug Me” pillowcase comes as a game changer! Such a case can easily fit standard-size pillows and will remind your better half about you.
Moreover, you can purchase a pillow that has an arm to hug your partner. Its main drawback is that it might consume much more space in one’s luggage, compared to the above-mentioned case. But it should provide exceptional comfort both on the emotional and physical levels.
Love Letters with a Creative Design
Here are just a few examples of what they might look like.
- Capsule letters in a bottle. These resemble real-life medications but are much cuter and brighter. When you need your daily fix of love, you open one capsule — and discover a joke inside, a flirty zinger, or some other pleasant surprise.
- Letters in historical envelopes, packed in a wooden box. Such a gift enables you to enjoy some kind of role-play. Imagine that your partner is an 18-century sailor who is traveling to an unknown land on a large vintage vessel. Obviously, you can’t call or text them every day, so each letter you receive from abroad turns into a major event for you.
- A jar with 31 love-themed messages enclosed in mini decorative envelopes to be opened each day. This one will look stunning in your kitchen.
No matter how times and trends change, hand-written messages will always remain among the most popular long-distance gifts.
Countdown Clock
You set the date and time when you’ll see each other again — and let the countdown begin! Such clocks can typically count down ranges from 1 minute to 999 days. They will save you from the necessity of manually calculating the remaining days on the calendar.
Apart from the countdown, such a device doesn’t offer any other functions, so it will be one of the highly symbolic long-distance gifts.
Alternatively, you might opt for a goal calendar (an old-school one, printed on paper). As soon as your partner wakes up, he or she will tear off a sheet to unveil a new day. You can either purchase a ready-to-use calendar or order a custom one with your photos.
Final Thoughts
Hopefully, this article came in handy and gave you enough inspiration! Of course, you can consider many other nice long-distance gifts for long-distance couples, such as engraved gifts, collections of love poems, aroma candles, toiletry cases, custom photo socks, or gift cards for online and offline shops. Mind that you should choose the items not because of their pragmatic value but because of the emotions that they will evoke. Let love be your energy!
