Being in a long-distance relationship is hard, especially when special moments like anniversaries, birthdays and Valentine’s Day come around – we’re often left feeling left out and upset we can’t spend the day with our special someone (or even your best girl friend).
But just because you’re separated by distance, doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate your love with thoughtful gifts and experiences.
Whether you’re separated by land or sea, it’s important to take the time to show your love and how much you care about each other when you can. Days like Valentine’s Day are the moment to profess your love and what better way to do it than with something they will truly treasure.
It’s easy enough to send something they’ll just like, but finding a present that makes them think of you every time they see or use it, will have them feeling like you’re right there with them.
This is why we’ve compiled the below gift guide for long-distance couples. Browse on for inspo for you to shop, or maybe send the link to your partner to inspire them, so you can say “I love you and wish I was there with you” with ease and care. Read on to find our favourite picks…
