I just sent my SO a digital portrait filled with pics of us we took in our last visit. And the nice part about this gift is he can keep adding more pics as we see each other in our other visits. 🙂

Yes, being in a LDR is hard but it’s possible!! You only have to want to go through this. I met my Polish girlfriend on a website and we just started to talk… Then I realized I fell in love! She is amazing 😀 We are together since 8 months and it’s the best time in my life. 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 🙂 🙂
The gift of nothing. Clever but it will probably result in pain. Mine.
Wonderful ideas…. I guess a customized pillow with pictures of u two as d background will b a good idea….. Spunky.
I got my fiancé a blanket that is 50×60 with my picture on it so she can feel like she is holding me… She will receive it next week… I hope she likes it.
I sent my girl an Emorange. They are at emorange.com. She loved it and sent one back!

Thanks for the suggestion John! Loves songs are the ultimate “I love You!”
