1. Send them a box full of love & joy.
Give a gift they won’t forget. Started by siblings after they filled a box with sixty years of memories for their Mom’s 60th, they believe a gift should be something special, memorable and wonderful to create that happy feeling that we all love so much. NoteCube is a box filled with beautiful notes you’ve written for someone special. Fill it with memories, kind words, inside jokes or anything you desire. Notes are written on the website and once the last note has been submitted, they’ll send them in a stylish keepsake box <3. (photo source)
Let them know how much you miss and love them by sending them something beautifully hand-cut, just for them! These cards are so colorful and amazing to look at. Sending the same old cards to your partner all the time can get boring, but these cards will bring some serious joy and cheer to your sweetheart’s day. (photo source)
3. Send a Wooden Photo Collage
Get a custom photo or photo collage printed on long lasting wood. This is a ridiculously good gift idea for guys, who seem to love textiles like wood and leather. You can upload any photo and create a timeless gift that will last forever. (photo source)
4. Turn Your Photo into a Painting
Years ago, having a hand painted photo of yourself symbolized power, status & importance. It served as a timeless family keepsake, passed on from generations to generations. Did you know that you can have someone hand paint a photo of you (or the person of your choice) today too? This is an incredible gift idea, to immortalize your love & tell that special someone “You’re so important, I had someone hand paint you!” (photo source)
Who says we can’t send scents from across a distance? This company sure doesn’t think that way. In fact they’ve created a seriously amazing way to fuse jewelry and smells together into one. They have jewelry for both men and women so you can find out your partner’s favorite smell and send them a sweet dose of nose AND eye candy. (photo source)
6. Send them a giant fortune cookie
Who doesn’t love the deliciousness of a fortune cookie? We know not anyone. Send your special love bug a giant fortune cookie with a custom message inside. This is a perfect idea for a bad day, and there’s tons of different cookie combinations to choose from. (photo source)

We are trying to see each other as often as it’s possible, we talk to each other everyday… You can do it if you only want 🙂 🙂
