Long Distance Relationship Gifts 2019 Holiday Presents

When you're in a long-distance relationship, getting your partner a trip to see you is an obvious gift that checks all the boxes: it's useful, thoughtful, and memorable. But depending on your schedule or cashflow situation, buying a plane ticket or taking time off work isn't always doable. Sometimes you have to cave and get your partner an actual thing, which isn't the end of the world.

Ahead, we found the best gifts that will show your long-distance partner that you care. Some of the options will make their alone time feel a little less lonely. Others will make back-and-forth travel a bit more tolerable. And a few of these gifts will help you feel closer as a couple, despite your physical distance.
