When I started researching Christmas gift ideas for my long-distance boyfriend, I came across some cheesy gifts he wouldn’t enjoy. This gift guide contains unique and thoughtful gifts for your long-distance boyfriend or girlfriend that they will WANT and USE. Below are five unique ideas to help you on your gift-buying journey this season!
A plane ticket is the ideal gift for anyone in a long-distance relationship. The struggle of spending $200-$500 every time you want to see each other is brutal, especially when many couples have the luxury of living so close to each other; it is hard for us long-distance babes. The perfect gift is saying you’ll purchase the next plane ticket whenever you decide the next time you will see each other. Even if a plane ticket is over your budget, get them a gift card to the airline they prefer. This will help reduce the cost as well. This gift would be perfect for anyone in a long-distance relationship. I speak from experience as someone who has spent thousands of dollars on plane tickets to see my boyfriend.
Etsy is full of personal handwriting gifts for your significant other, from handwriting bracelets to necklaces or even rings. This is a great way to write your private message and have them wear it all day to remind each other how important it is that you are doing long-distance for and the end goal of it all. You can make it as sweet or funny as you want, which is nice to make it personal to your significant other. This is perfect for people who love thoughtful, unique gifts.
Along with the travel theme, the gift of TSA pre-check would be fantastic. Standing in long lines at the airport can be annoying, especially when the TSA pre-checks people walking up to the front of the line. It is only $78 for a five-year membership, which is pretty good. This will save so much time since you frequently stand in long lines at the airport, especially during busy travel seasons like Thanksgiving or Christmas. It is a gift only a few consider, but it would be so beneficial!
A digital photo frame is a perfect gift for the sentimental gift lover. This way, you can connect your phone to the frame and add your favorite photos of each other on it, and you can change and add more pictures as you go, so the gift keeps on giving! This gift is perfect for those nights when you miss each other and are miles apart to cheer your significant other up and bring a smile to their face.
The last gift idea is to get a vinyl. This vinyl can be the album from the song you have together or songs that remind you of them. They don’t need a record player for this gift; it makes perfect wall decor, and you can add the vinal wall mounts as part of the gift. This is also a great gift you can add to each year to keep the collection growing.
Let me know if you will use any of these ideas for your long-distance relationship or if you have any ideas to share with me! I hope I have inspired you!
