Be In-Sync:
Dual Zone Watch: This gift is practical as well as thoughtful. Send them a watch set to both their time zone and yours. Instead of constantly calculating the time difference, all your partner needs to do is glance at their watch. It also serves as a reminder of your love whenever they check the time.
Coordinates Bracelet: With a customized coordinates bracelet, your partner can carry a piece of you with them everywhere. You can customize the location and geographic coordinates in latitude and longitude. It's a lasting memento of how far you are willing to go to make your relationship work.
Name a Star After Them: If you want to melt their heart, send them a certificate of a star named after them.
Countdown Clock: Send a clock with a countdown until the next time you see each other.
Heartbeat Ring: Get real-time heartbeats whenever you miss your sweetie via this amazing heartbeat ring.
Activity Tracker: Send your loved one an activity tracker that allows you to make a game out of who takes the most steps and manages phone alerts, so you never have to miss a text or call.
Be Practical:
Portable Charger: If you’re in different time zones, you don’t want to miss out on a rare opportunity to talk just because there’s no battery left in their phone. Gift your partner with a portable cell phone power bank so you don’t have to worry about their phone dying in the middle of a conversation.
Calendar Planner: This practical gift is a little more special when you fill it out with all the dates you’ll be seeing each other over the coming year. Be sure to add anniversaries and other special dates that have meaning for the two of you.
Gourmet Coffee: Because long nights on the phone usually require some pick-me-ups in the morning.
Lap Desk: Perfect for holding tablets and phones. The best part of all? You can have virtual meals together on the go and talk about your day.
Be Personal:
Photo Magnet: Make it silly, sweet, or romantic.
Custom Blanket: Compile all your favorite pictures together and keep your sweetie warm.
Engraved Promise Ring: Engrave your special date, quote, or initials.
USB Mixtape Full of "Your" Songs: Grab all those songs that bring you both beautiful memories or sync up your online playlists.
Joint Journal: Keep a journal/scrapbook and send it to your honey. They can read it and include some journal entries of their own. You can also start a private blog together.
Charm Bracelet: Jewelry is a gift that is appreciated near or far, and a monogram charm bracelet is a timeless classic. Have it engraved with her initials to let her know that she’s always on your mind.
Care Package: Compile all of his or her favorite things or things they need such as snacks, t-shirts, and supplies. Throw in some pictures of you two to make it extra special.
