How To Send a Gift For Your Long-Distance Relationship
Your best friend is living across the country, your partner temporarily relocated to another state, or maybe you’ve moved away from your parents and hometown.
Finding distance between you and your loved ones at some point in your life is natural.
And while it sucks to miss out on birthdays, holidays, and celebrations, there are still ways you can send a gift long-distance.

How To Send a Gift For Your Long-Distance Relationship
When you’re living far away from your core community, you’re always missing out on those huge life events. We’re talkin’:

-
Christmas
-
St. Patricks Day

Labor Day (hey, any excuse to party, right?)

Well— besides the one on your keyboard.

Option #1: Gift for the Long Distance Boyfriend or Girlfriend
Whether you’re married or not, having a long-distance relationship is rough. The nights are long, the conversations are too short, and it’s gut-wrenching to be away from them during holidays and special occasions.
Military spouses— who move once every two to three years— are incredibly familiar with these feelings. And while a long-distance gift isn’t the same as holding them in your arms, it’s a tangible way to show you’re thinking of them.
These Build-a-Box gift sets are a perfect solution to getting items shipped to them. You can hand-select products that have special meaning within your relationship but still pick out things they’ll appreciate on a day-to-day basis (like coffee or beard oil).
If it’s your anniversary or their birthday, you can always include balloons, candles, or rose petals! These boxes always come with confetti, so it’s like you’re bringing the party to them.

Option #2: Gifts for the Long-Distance Relative
Alright, but what about those long-distance relatives who recently got married or had a baby?
Maybe you don’t really know them well after all these years, but you still want to send your love.
Do it the easiest way possible with these Ready-To-Ship gifts! This is for the lazy or indecisive shopper who is clueless when it comes to presents.
Choose from pre-designed themed boxes that are packed with items from small business owners. You’ve got the:
-
Congrats, You’re Married! Gift
-
Happy Birthday, Random Cousin Gift
-
Love You, Mean It Mom Gift
-
Happy Birthday… You! Gift
They might not be super-personal, but they’re impressive (did we mention there’s confetti?!).
