Whether you’re five months or five years into a relationship, living away from your partner is hard. But the best gifts for long-distance couples can fill the gap in space and time between until you’re together again.
There are so many directions you can go when choosing a unique gift for a significant other that lives miles away. What it comes down to is choosing the best present for their set of interests and hobbies, and also weighing in what helps you work as a couple. (Oh, and if budget is a concern—i.e. you’d rather spend money on a ticket to visit them than splurge on a gift, these thoughtful under-$100 presents are a great place to start.)
Our Top Picks:
As far as ideas go, if you want something sentimental, personalized gifts are always a win. Think an illuminated plaque that plays your relationship’s inaugural song, or matching photo puzzles that you can put together over FaceTime. If you’re still in the get-to-know-each-other phase, consider a card game to help you build a deeper connection, or a touch bracelet set that’ll simulate the sensation of your presence.
Since there’s already so much to keep in mind with an LDR, we wanted to make gifting easier for you by asking real-life long-distance partners for the no-fail gifts for men and stellar presents for women they’ve given and received—and loved, of course! Keep scrolling to find the best gifts for long-distance couples, from the lovebirds in the thick of it.
