Finding the best gifts for a girlfriend or boyfriend is hard enough, but when you're in a long-distance relationship there can be even more pressure to get it right. You also don't necessarily know what they already have at home or what popular gifts they've been eyeing since your physical time together is limited.

Plus, it's almost impossible to find the right tone. Should it be silly or romantic? Practical or personal? Should it address the whole distance of it all? That part is up to you, but our list of the best long-distance relationship gifts is a great place to start. Whether you decide to gift them a piece of meaningful jewelry, a cozy blanket to keep them warm, or something that reminds them of you, these gifts are sure to make your significant other so happy they'll forget about the miles between you — for at least a few minutes.

Friendship Lamp

LuvLink's friendship lamps are a cool way to let your partner know you're thinking about them. When your lamp lights up, you know they're missing you, too.

It may seem like a stretch, but if they're in a cold area, we can't overstate how much they'll appreciate a freestanding electric fireplace.

Gift Card

"I don't want to be pampered," said no one, ever. Massage Envy has more than 1,000 locations around the country, so it's likely your partner will be near one. If they're not, consider a gift card to a local spa or nail salon instead.

12 Nights of Wine Tasting Box

"I Miss Your Face So Effin Much" Teddy Bear

Is this bear cheesy? Yes. Will they treasure it and sleep with it at night until you come visit? Also yes.

Charleston Toile Robe

You can't go wrong with a cozy robe, but this option makes things a little more personal — and romantic. The toile print features imagery inspired by a specific place, in this case Charleston, so your loved one can remember where you live, where you two met, or where you plan to live together in the future every time they put it on.
