21 long-distance relationship gifts for boyfriends and girlfriends to send to far-away loved ones this Christmas
Sending adorable Christmas long-distance relationship gifts might not be the key criteria for maintaining a tricky LDR - or long distance friendship - over the festive season but they sure as hell help. If you're maintaining a long-distance relationship right now, hats off to you. Sure, Facetime and video chat make things a tiny bit less rubbish, but nothing quite beats the feeling of having your significant other lying right there next to you. Especially in the run up to Christmas when we're all needing a bit of extra loving.
Guaranteed to brighten their day and tell them "I Miss You", Christmas gifts for long distance boyfriends and girlfriends will save you if you're struggling to show your LDR S/O from another time zone that you care. Alongside a love note or three, we've found a whole bunch of perfect gifts from messages in a bottle to personalised keychains and weighted blankets (yes, really). So, let's get into it!
