  • Long distance relationships are hard, but small items and gestures can keep you connected.
  • Gifts like connected jewelry, e-love letters, and digital picture frames can help deepen your bond.

Any relationship is work, but a long-distance relationship takes true effort. You have to go the extra mile to remind your partner that you're thinking about them all the time, even if you're not seeing them all the time — which is why small gestures like sending flowers, virtual experiences you can do together, or little gifts that reference inside jokes can help you stay close despite the distance. Here are the best gifts for long-distance relationships that show you care. 

Here are the 20 best long-distance relationship gifts:

A digital picture frame to display your best memories together
