The Best Gift Ideas For Long Distance Relationships
This post was supposed to be ready last Monday, but life happens. I got sick and I was barely able to leave my bed. It was so upsetting!
Anyway, I wanted to write this post because one of the things that are very difficult in a long-distance relationship is to find a gift that is meaningful, can be mailed and you know… show how much we appreciate our significant other.
It doesn’t have to be big, and sometimes just the intention is enough. That’s why I made a list of the best gift ideas for long distance relationships.
I must add that I have made most of these gifts and let me tell you, I’m sure your boyfriend or girlfriend will love each of these.

The Best Gift Ideas For Long Distance Relationships
1. Postcard
The best thing about sending a postcard is that you can customize them and write romantic messages on them.
I’ve been sending my boyfriend postcard for Christmas since we started dating and it’s a great idea for when you don’t have a lot of money, but you still want to be present for the holidays.
My favorite app for this is Ink Cards, the quality is great and the designs they have are super pretty.
2. Buy Online
This will always be the safest option if you want to buy something and be delivered directly to the place your significant other lives.
It’s easy, and you can always find a good gift for that person, from a mug to an elaborated basket full of their favorite candies.
3. Open When Letters
These are a classic! you can find them all over Pinterest. They are super useful for the first months of being away. We all know that those are the hardest.
4. Jar Full Of Notes
I did this a year ago. I fill up a jar with 365 notes so my boyfriend could read something different for a whole year. How cute, right?
5. Mailed Kisses
This is such a great idea! I haven’t done it yet but putting kiss marks on paper and write in every kiss a message sounds very romantic!
6. Pictures With Words
7. Frame With Important Dates
This is another cute way to remember important dates. I did a similar one with my important dates. The date we met, the date of our first kiss and our anniversary. Great idea if you don’t want to forget the
8. Couples Journal
I love this journal, it has funny questions and it’s a great way to get to know your partner in another way.
9. Tea Bags
My personal favorite! It’s a DIY I made not long ago and it’s a cute present for someone who loves tea.
10. Heart Attack
Just fill a box full of hearts and for a more romantic touch, put a message on each of it. Make sure to follow my tutorial here.
11. Heart Reminder
I love this idea for you get to be together. Make hearts and hide them somewhere your significant other will find them eventually.
12. Print Favorite Texts And Selfies
Making a collection of your favorites texts and pictures is a great way to keep memories of those great conversations. Being in a long-distance relationship means part of your relationship happens on a phone.
13. Love Coupons
This is the perfect gift for your significant other, especially if you are looking for a unique present! Or, in some cases, when you don’t know what to buy or can’t decide what to give.

They are my favorite!
this post gave me all the feels – super cute ideas for any relationship! when I was living away from my S.O., I sent him a jar full of “kisses” for whenever he needed them, and it was a giant mason jar filled w/ hershey kisses. x, nicole // http://www.nicoleeigh.com
That’s awesome idea! My boyfriend loves chocolate. I might do something like that too!
I love this list of gift ideas!! I feel like they are amazing gifts for even a relationship that is not long distance. My hubby’s birthday is coming up so this definitely gave me some great ideas!
Yes! Totally true. You can make any of these even if you aren’t in a LDR. I’m glad I could help!
The jar full of notes is my favourite! I’m not in a long distance relationship, but I do have a box with all the cute morning messages he ever left me, letters and other stuff that has emotional meaning to me.

I totally agree!
I think these are so cute. I love the “open when!” The only problem I see is that while I would love to get them, my boyfriend is not very sappy and would probably not appreciate them as much as me. I would probably send him a practical gift instead! Cool post!
Here and then I think it might be good for a gift like that. And sometimes I just make them because I love making sappy gifts hahaha. Even if my boyfriend might not like it lol
Those ‘Open when’ notes totally remind me of P.S. I Love You! So heartbreaking/romantic.
OMG! I can’t believe I never thought about that! You are so right!
What great ideas! Everything looks so cute!
Right? I love that about these gifts.
These are such cute ideas! I love those open when letters!

Yes! Sometimes it’s great to make these kind of gifts.
I love the idea of printing the texts and photos sent to each other. What a fun thing to scrapbook.
Totally! Part of any relationship is now though phones too.
These are so sweet — I love the letters and printing favorite text messages!

Melissa – these ideas are so cute and fun! I wish I was this creative during my long distance relationship! However, I have a friend who lives far away from me now, so perhaps I can use a few of these for her (like the postcard idea)!
Simply Lovebirds
YES! These ideas are perfect for friends too!
So many cute ideas! My fiance and I aren’t technically log distance but our situation feels like it sometimes.
I’m a huge fan of open when letters and always make sure he has a bunch of them at any given time.
I may have to try some of these other ideas though. Those postcards are to die for!
