Being in a long-distance relationship is undoubtedly hard—you know, having to skip out on fun double dates with your friends, being too far to hug it out when one of you is having a bad day...you get the gist. But, these gifts for you long-distance lovers can help when your partner's feeling sentimental, lonely, homesick, cheeky, mushy, or straight-up ~sultry~.

It's also never too soon to get a jump start on a gift for the holidays or your partner's next birthday. Even if you can't be together on these special occasions, you can still look forward to the look of glee (via video chat) when they unwrap what you got for them. And if you can't be together physically, the right gift can quite possibly bring you two closer, emotionally.

So, if you need some inspo, check out this list of the best long-distance relationship gift ideas for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, or just when you need to tell them you're missing their face.
