Show Your Long-Distance Love You Care with These 20 Thoughtful Valentine’s Day Gifts (2024)

Cuddling up next to your partner has the unique ability to calm your whole body, slowing down your heart rate and allowing your mind to just relax. While you may not always get to be together, we have good news—this blanket can pinch-hit when you're out of town. It's hand-knit in a breathable jersey fabric that's gently weighted (in 10 pounds or 15 pounds) to bring comfort and relaxation to your partner anytime they're forced to cozy up without you.

In long-distance relationships, having little reminders of your partner around your home is important. In that case, think of this picture frame set as a gift to you both. Each of the pine wood frames displays the photo of your choice, surrounded by translucent glass for a modern touch. But here's the coolest part: Every time you tap your frame, your partner's will light up, letting them know you're thinking of them in a sweet and subtle way.

No matter how long you've been with your partner, they've probably already left an impression in your life (and heart). Pay back the favor with this unique necklace, which transposes the impression of your fingerprint onto a gold-plated disc. It does take a bit of planning ahead (you'll need to scan your fingerprint and send it to the jeweler) but the result is a special handmade piece that's destined to become an heirloom.

Pulling together elements for the perfect Valentine's Day present can be difficult, not to mention time-consuming. Our advice?

This particular box is the perfect pick for the dapper dude in your life—it's filled with grooming necessities, like bourbon soap and a shoe shine kit, as well as treats like chocolate peanut butter beer brittle.

As the label reads, it smells like your first Valentine's Day together—which, depending on your preferences can actually be your choice of fragrances like cotton, lavender, or cinnamon vanilla.

Then, the next time you're in town, your partner can scratch off the ticket to reveal the sweet (or spicy!) plan you have in store.

Bonus: The letters are geared toward different moments in time (like when they're feeling lonely, when they're looking for inspiration, or when they need to make a big decision), so you'll have an easy starting point for your notes.

Looking for a way to spice up your next virtual date night? Snag your love a Valentine's Day gift card to Uncommon Experiences by Uncommon Goods and you can schedule a fun class together.
