It’s hard being in a long-distance relationship (LDR), but keeping the bond of love strong through sending thoughtful, heartfelt gifts goes a long way in keeping couples close. Here at Nanz & Kraft Florists, Louisville’s best florist, we know a lot about love and romance and we’ve selected some great LDR gifts that help keep the embers burning.

Gifts That Will Keep Your Long Distance Relationship Thriving

Roses

There’s a reason roses are the most popular flower in the world. Coming in a variety of colors and sweet scents, the rose denotes love and happiness. Each different color has its own meaning with red representing deep love, romance, and desire, and pink symbolizing refinement, elegance, and sweetness. Hot pink roses, though, express passion, desire, and attraction. Red roses, of course, are a natural for Valentine’s Day, but for other times, mix it up and send roses in a different color for a wonderful surprise, like our lovely Classic Assorted bouquet.

Long-Distance Relationship Lamps

A sweet, simple, and subtle way to let your partner know you are thinking about them is to just touch this decorative lamp which will light up the same lamp in your sweetheart’s home. When your “light” message has been responded to and touched back, both lamps change to a new color.

Personalized Coordinates Bracelets

These charming bracelets that you can find in a variety of colors, materials, and styles, are a great way to personalize your relationship in an intimate way. Each bracelet will have the other person’s home coordinates engraved on them so you can keep each close all day long. Another idea is the get both bracelets engraved with the coordinates of the place where you very first met.

Photo Book

Create a keepsake photo book of all your special moments together. These wonderful hard-cover photo books are unique and a great way to re-experience favorite moments without having to endlessly scroll through your phone. With services like Shutterfly, it’s easy to upload, edit, add text, and personalize your photo book. These books are also a great way to keep vacation pics and travel experiences you both enjoyed together right at your fingertips.

Customized Coffee Mugs

If you and your boo both enjoy coffee or hot tea, then get a set of mugs pair together. Or you could also get personalized mugs with photos of each other on them. Then, when you are each enjoying your warm beverage, you will be thinking of one another.

Plant

It is a gift that keeps on giving. A living plant always makes a great gift and is especially great for LDR couples. First, a plant requires nurturing to grow, just like a relationship. And, they have the added benefit of purifying the air, boosting moods, and freshening up any space. Then, once you and your long-distance lover are finally together forever, this plant can be the first plant in your new home symbolizing the strength and growth of your relationship. Orchids are a great choice as they are relatively easy to take care of and can last a long time.

Sending gifts regularly to your long-distance partner is how to keep the flames afire. The trick is to choose gifts you think they will appreciate to show them how much you care for them and think about them. One of the easiest and always appreciated gifts to send is fresh seasonal flowers. If you ever run out of gift ideas, then flowers and a bottle of wine is a winner every time!
