Not just any gift will do for a long-distance partner, as it’s important for any gift you send to be something that will strengthen the bond between both of you and help you feel close even though you’re far apart. Here at Ron & Alicia Robinson Florist, the best flower shop in Rowland Heights, we are familiar with gifts that express love and romance. For that special long-distance relationship (LDR) gift, we selected a few of our favorites below.

Great Gifts for Keeping You & Your Long-Distance Love Close

Touch Bracelets

For a subtle, secretive, yet powerful way to let your other half know you are thinking about them, pick up a Touch Bracelet for each of you. Then, when you want to “touch” your bae, just tap your finger on your bracelet and they will feel it! A series of vibrations and a customizable color will light up on their bracelet letting them know you are thinking about them at that very moment. It’s a sweet and cool way to keep each other close and in your thoughts.

Plush Doggo

When you’re not there to snuggle with your sweetie, then send her a Plush Doggo to hug in your place. These adorable soft, squishy, and plush animals are wonderful for hugging and keeping you warm at night. Every time she cuddles up with this plushie, she will be comforted and think of you.

Roses

There’s a reason the rose is the most popular flower in the world. Its beauty, delicateness, and sweet fragrance are hard to top. Roses grow in a wide range of colors which each have their own meanings associated with it. Red roses, for example, are symbolic of deep love, passion, and romance, which is why it’s the preferred rose color for Valentine’s Day. For all other days, though, choose a different color or a mix of rose colors for a truly stunning display, like our Rose Rapture arrangement. There is no better way to let your long-distance bae know just much you love them than with a gorgeous bouquet of roses.

Photo Book

Put your favorite couples’ moments in one convenient hard-cover photo book to access whenever needed. Sites like Shutterfly allow you to upload any number of photos which you can then edit, organize, add text and graphics and print out as many copies as you like. Photo books are also a great way to document any romantic trips or events you and your boo do together. These will eventually become great keepsakes in your relationship you can show to friends and family.

Customized Coffee Mug

If you and your darling love to enjoy a cuppa hot joe or hot tea each morning, keep the tradition going with a customized cup that will make you think of each other. This could be something like a photo of your significant other on your mug and you on theirs, a set that has a photo of both of you, or a set of cups which pair together and are incomplete when separated. The warm feelings you’ll feel each morning won’t just be from the hot beverage.

Plant

Plants are great gifts – they provide many health-boosting benefits such as purifying the air, freshening up any indoor space, and lifting your spirits. A plant can also be a symbol of your relationship as it takes nurturing , feeding, and care in order for it to thrive, just like your LDR does. If you’re worried about the lack of green thumb your partner may have, just select a hard-to-kill plant like succulents or orchids, which are easier to care for than many think.

The key to keeping a long-distance relationship going strong is to choose gifts from the heart and will appeal to your partner as well as to send gifts frequently to keep the passion alive. If you ever become stumped on what to send your partner next, just think flowers! No one ever gets tired of receiving flowers – ever! Fresh seasonal flowers are a welcome gift appreciated and loved by everyone, every day, anytime. Happy gift-giving and may you and your boo be together forever very soon.
