17 Long-Distance Relationship Gifts That Are Totally RomCom-Worthy
Despite the benefits of facetime, video chat services, and romantic movies about long-distance relationships (thank you Sleepless in Seattle), the long-distance relationship still endures a bad rep.
We get it, your well-meaning friends and family are protective of your heart, that’s a great thing.
We, however, believe in love of all kinds. If you really love someone and believe in what you have, don’t give up. They’re worth waiting for.
In that spirit, here’s our curated list of great gifts tailored to your far away relationship. Show them that whether it’s near or far, you’re still in it to win it.
Long-Distance Gifts for Her
Two States Ring
If she’s in Cali and you’re in NYC, it can seem as if an entire country separates you. Oh right. Well, it doesn’t matter because this unique silver ring features the outline of your state and her state in sterling silver, delicately coiled around her finger. Regardless of what states separate you, you’re still connected.
Coordinates Necklace
We love how this sleek bar necklace tells a story!
What makes it extra special is the ability to engrave coordinates on one side and a personal message on the other – creating a meaningful connection to that special place in your heart. Made from recycled sterling silver or vermeil, it’s both eco-conscious and elegant.
It’ll let everyone who sees it know that she’s got someone who loves her, even if you’re oceans apart.
What caught our attention is the versatility – whether it’s marking where you met, got engaged, or your favorite travel spot, the clean lines and three metal options (sterling silver, gold or rose gold vermeil) make it a timeless piece that works with any style. At 40mm wide, it’s the perfect statement size without being overwhelming.

3. Forget Me Not Earrings
Looking for a conversation starter that’s as unique as she is? These delicate drops feature real forget-me-not flowers, preserved forever in crystal-clear resin. “Are those real flowers?” they’ll ask. “Why yes,” she’ll smile, “each one handpicked and pressed just for these earrings.”
Available in classic sterling silver or warm gold-filled finish, they’re perfect for the nature lover who wants to wear a bit of springtime all year round. And since each flower is unique, no two pairs are exactly alike – just like the story you share together.
