20 Valentine's Day Gifts For Couples In Long-Distance Relationships
Valentine's Day is always a struggle, but celebrating Valentine's Day when you're in a long-distance relationship is even more of a pain. You have to deal with the unrelenting pressure of the holiday alone... unless you two are able to plan a trip around the weekend. And if you are alone, all of the talk about love and being with your significant other is sure to make you feel pretty darn sad.
Well, don't focus on all of that. Instead, focus on getting your boo something cute that will remind both of you that no matter the distance, your relationship is still really strong and wonderful. Whether you send it in the mail or get to deliver it in person, any of these gift ideas will be special enough to make you both smile.
