95 Long-Distance Relationship Gifts That Help You Feel Closer

Loving someone from miles away is one of the hardest, bravest things you can do. The late-night FaceTime calls, the countdown apps, the bittersweet airport goodbyes—it all takes a special kind of dedication. But while distance is tough, the right gift can bridge the gap. It can be a tangible reminder of your presence when you can’t be there physically, a way to share an experience across time zones, or a promise for the future you’re building.

Whether you’re separated by a state line or an ocean, this guide of 95 gift ideas is curated to help you feel connected. From high-tech gadgets that mimic touch to sentimental keepsakes and shared activities, these gifts say, "I'm with you, even when I'm not."

Connected Tech: Touch and Presence from Afar

Technology has changed the game for long-distance love. These gadgets are designed specifically to make you feel physically present.

The Bond Touch Bracelets vibrate on your wrist whenever your partner touches theirs, sending a silent "I'm thinking of you." Similarly, the Totwoo Touch Bracelets light up and vibrate to signal your connection. For a more intimate connection, the Lovense Lush 3 allows for long-distance control and play. The Lovebox Spinning Heart Messenger is a physical box on their desk that spins when you send a message via the app—a cute, analog notification for a digital text.

To stay in sync, a Portal from Facebook or an Echo Show 8 makes video calls feel more natural with cameras that follow you around the room. Friendship Lamps light up in your partner's color when you touch yours, creating a visual link between your homes. The Apple Watch Series 9 lets you share your heartbeat in real-time. A Sleep Headphones Headband makes falling asleep on the phone together much more comfortable.

Shared Experiences: Date Night Across the Miles

Just because you’re apart doesn't mean you can't have date night. These gifts are about doing things together.

A Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party) subscription lets you watch movies in perfect sync. Send a DoorDash Gift Card so you can both order the same meal (e.g., tacos or sushi) and eat "together" on video. The Adventure Challenge: Long Distance Edition offers scratch-off challenges specifically designed for couples who are apart. Uncommon Goods' Virtual Classes let you take a mixology or painting class together via Zoom.

Play online games together with a Nintendo Switch Lite and Animal Crossing, or keep it classic with Battleship over FaceTime. A Book Club for Two involves sending the same book to both addresses and discussing a chapter a week. Spotify Premium Duo lets you build a shared playlist that updates in real-time—your soundtrack for the distance.

Sentimental Keepsakes: Holding On to You

When you can’t hold their hand, give them something solid to hold onto.

A Custom Map Print showing the connection between your two cities is a beautiful piece of decor. A "Open When..." Letters Kit gives them a stack of pre-written letters for specific moments (e.g., "Open when you miss me," "Open when you're sad"). A Personalized Soundwave Art of your voice saying "I love you" is a visual representation of your connection.

Wear your heart on your sleeve—literally—with a Custom Hoodie embroidered with their initial or handwriting on the cuff. A Dual Time Zone Watch lets them know at a glance if you’re awake. A Travel Journal to document your trips back and forth becomes a history of your relationship. A Custom Photo Book of your last visit is a tangible reminder of the reunion to come.

Comfort & Care: Hugs in a Box

Send physical comfort to replace the hugs you can't give right now.

A Weighted Blanket (like the Bearaby Cotton Napper) simulates the feeling of being held, reducing anxiety and loneliness. A Boyfriend Pillow (or body pillow) gives them something to cuddle at night. Send a Care Package filled with their favorite local snacks or a "Smells Like You" Candle (e.g., cologne, coffee, or your specific perfume).

A Hug Ring wraps around their finger as a constant reminder of your embrace. A Personalized Throw Blanket with a photo of the two of you is perfect for movie nights. A Warmies Heatable Stuffed Animal provides warm, lavender-scented comfort.

Planning the Future: The Countdown

Gifts that focus on the next visit or closing the distance for good.

A Countdown Clock for your desk that ticks down to the next reunion. A Flight Gift Card (Delta, Southwest, etc.) is the most practical and exciting gift of all—a ticket to see you. A Weekender Bag (like the Beis Weekender) gets them excited to pack. A Piggy Bank labeled "Our Future Fund" helps you save for the closing-the-distance move.

The Bottom Line: Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

The best long-distance gift is assurance. It’s the reassurance that they are worth the wait, worth the effort, and worth the miles. Whether it’s a bracelet that buzzes or a plane ticket that brings you together, the gift says: "No matter how far, we are close."
