Long distance relationships are the epitome of commitment and love. Deciding to make things work long distance is a nod to how much you want to invest in your relationship with your significant other. This admirable setup is a reflection of your determination and efforts to continue your relationship even though land or water separates you physically. Every moment apart can feel like a lifetime, but whilst you’re contemplating the next physical embrace, there are many ways that you can remind your partner just how much you want to be in their arms.
Welcome to our guide to long distance relationship gifts, where we will provide you a touch of inspiration to really up your gift-giving game from miles away.
Technology.
Thankfully, we live in a world that is more connected than ever before. With the use of Zoom, Skype, Facetime, and Teams, we can connect with each other from different ends of the globe with just a few clicks. This means that we are able to stay close to loved ones whenever we like. Falling asleep together on Facetime may be a little mushy to some, but it’s an indicator that exemplifies how modern our world really is. Not only can we use technology to see each other’s faces (or whatever parts you want to see!), but we can also use it to our advantage when it comes to gift-giving.
Now more than ever, we are able to serenade our partners with gifts directly from our handsets. We can use modern technology to our advantage, and give gifts on the go! Imagine being on a long commute home on the train or stuck in traffic, thinking about your partner miles away? Browsing online and sending a surprise gift can really ensure that your spark stays burning! A little something to remind them of your love, or a sporadic gift to brighten their day, can really keep your long-distance connection going.
Naughty Naughty!
Technology isn’t the only way you can keep the sexy spark alive! Of course, with many different social media platforms and video calling applications, we can keep our sex lives spicy even though your partner may not be beside you (or inside you!).
Sending kinky, naughty gifts in the mail is a naughty reminder that you will soon be back together at some point, so in the meantime, a kinky gift can keep your desires burning! From sex toys to lingerie, there are a plethora of gifts available online.
If you prefer shopping in-store, browsing for sexy items such as a rabbit vibrator or outfits can really get your other half going, and you’ll feel so good about sending them a dirty little reminder. Receiving a text to say they have received your gift will certainly put a smile on your face, and it’s something that you can talk about on your next call.
If you’re thinking of purchasing a sex toy for your partner, you can also purchase a mold of your own private areas! This way, when all alone, your partner can use a toy that replicates your own genitals! There are also some great tracing paper gifts that allow you to trace and draw images of your penis or vagina! Imagine receiving these naughty and funny gifts in the mail? Keeping that passion and sex drive going is crucial to a long-lasting relationship- and it’s super fun!
Little reminders.
There are going to be days where you really miss your person. Snuggling up at night and counting down the days until you see them again is hard going, but there are little things you can do that remind your long-distance partner.
Sending an item of clothing in the mail that has been doused in your perfume or cologne is a comforting gesture that is always well received. Spraying your sweater, lingerie, or soft toy is something that can be used to remind your partner of your scent and your feel—tucking up at night with a shirt smelling of your lover is really special, especially when it smells just like them.
Smells invoke nostalgia and memories, and it will be a sensory reminder that you will soon be back together again. It may even prompt you to book your next trip back to see them!
Sending cuddly toys and stuffed animals are also a great, comforting gift. Anything that will pacify the need and lust for physical contact is the perfect gift idea. It can be items that are “I saw this and thought of you” style gifts or a build-a-bear with a voice recording of you speaking inside! There are so many cute choices to make, but you can never go wrong with a stuffed toy!
The surprise element.
Everyone loves a surprise, right? But sending your partner thoughtful gifts whilst being in a long-distance relationship is extremely important. The key is making your partner feel loved and appreciated, and there are many ways that you can do this. Examples of surprise gifts could be cinema tickets so your partner could go with a friend, pre-booked tickets to see a show together when you’re reunited, or a luxurious gift that has been on your significant other’s wishlist for a while!
Of course, there is always the option of flowers, chocolates, and roses, but we live in a world where we can now order things online super easily! Imagine ordering your partner’s favorite take-out food or even ordering their groceries to be delivered via postmates or doordash– straight to their door?!
It’s gestures like this (especially given the current climate) that create memorable experiences, ones that your partner won’t forget!
When your physical presence is not there, you must heighten your senses in other areas. Listening is probably the most important one. When catching up with your long-distance partner, it’s important to listen so you can pick up on the small things. Hearing that your partner likes a particular brand or cosmetics or if they have mentioned a show they would like to go and see are things you can pick up during the conversation.
In turn, you can then act on this and present them with a surprise in the post! Being attentive to your partner’s needs and thoughts is an integral part of a long-distance relationship. Good communication and a huge amount of trust are critical factors in a long-lasting, long-distance relationship.
Not being able to take your partner out for drinks, dinner, or a movie can sometimes be disheartening, but investing in long-distance gift-giving can really help. Taking the time to serenade each other with small (or large) gifts is the perfect way to let someone know that you still want to be in their lives, irrespective of distance… no matter how long that may be!
Whilst being kind and loving, these gestures are physical reminders that you care and that you are thinking of each other. These small pockets of appreciation are what formulate the basis of a long-distance relationship and can also keep your attraction going for much longer.
