When your man is going away long distance, life can seem a bit less bright, but if you’re able to send him a gift now and then, it might help you feel closer and him feel some of that loving you will definitely share as soon as he returns. Here’s some great gifts for a long distance boyfriend or male partner.
Thea Wellbeing Weighted Blanket – There’s nothing quite like a hug but a weighted blanket can feel close when snuggled up in bed at night. This one has the weights in each square pocket, making an even spread. There’s a double sided duvet cover with it, so you can stick it in the washer.
It comes in at 6.8kg which will help anyone maintain a deep sleep. We’ve tried weighted blankets and whilst they do take a little getting used to (at first you feel a bit squished) you’ll wake feeling amazing. Definitely a great gift for someone deserving a hug. Pricey to send in the post, but great to pack in a back before he drives off!
Penguins Cant Fly Tanktop – Penguins are known for having one partner for life. Your guy probably won’t want a penguin cuddly toy but this tank top gives penguin flavour with a mix of cool.
It’s funny, quirky and very wearable, a nice and light gift too, especially if you have to post overseas.
DUCO Sunglasses – It’s not romantic but it is practical and something he will use and enjoy all through the summer. People will ask where he got them so he’ll always be reminded of you and you’ll feel good knowing his eyes are protected from the rays (and he looks damn good!)
These DUCO shades are an Italian brand and great quality, they’re polarized, with a square finish to accentuate his features, lightweight but durable carbon fibre and come in nice box with cases and screwdriver. Great practical gift whilst your man is away. The ones pictured are Black Frame Revo Red.
Kedeek Wifi Digital Photo Frame – This frame is fun, has a lot of good features. Not only can your man bring and upload his choice of digital photos but if he gives you the frame code, you and other friends can grab the app send pics directly to his frame for display. You can also react to what’s on the frame.
Really good, fast to set up and it works horizontally or vertically. Can also share short 15 second videos.
Photo Explosion Box – If you want to go a little more traditional and know he’s the type to not decorate his space much, this photo box explosion might be the best solution.
Once opened it can show a ton of photos but it also folds away neatly, so he can take it out for a look whenever he wants or needs to. Fun, bright and it looks really great once full of photographs. You could also place a little something in the middle.
Resistance Bands Set – He might not be able to work out with you and he might not have much space where he’s staying but this resistance band set works really well in limited space but you can do so much with it. Varying ‘weights’ and tensions so he can get a real work out. He’ll be even more buff when he visits you!
It’s easy to use so even if he’s not the fittest, he can get started and see progress relatively quickly.
Plus Plus Heart Puzzle – It’s a fairly easy but fun 250 piece puzzle set. There’s numbers if he wants to follow or he can take the risk and figure it out himself.
It could be glued together when done to make a small decoration but even as a puzzle it’s a nice way to while away the time. A red and a rainbow heart included in the package.
Personalised Bracelet – This is a cool set, you know your man isn’t going to wear anything too soppy but this is a two bracelet set with a small charm that splits between the two.
You can have the main bands of each bracelet personalised with a small engraving, so have a think of what he could wear out and about, whilst still looking suave. When he’s back you can reconnect the bracelets.
Smuggling Duds Stash Boxers – Travelling can be dangerous for all of us, these are boxes with a difference, they’ve got a front pouch pocket, so he could slip a tenner in there just in case he finds himself caught short.
Alternatively you can slip a note in and just send him the boxers. Let’s see what he thinks when he finds your note!
Smuggling Duds Pickpocket Proof Undies – Secret Pocket Boxer Shorts
Leadtherbound Journal Notebook – This notebook has lined pages but is refillable, a leather outer binding with a clock pendant and it looks and feels great to use.
If your man is off on an adventure, this could be the perfect space to make travel notes and keep a journal. A perfect gift for the man who does so much whilst he’s away he’ll definitely forget to tell you if he doesn’t write it down.
We hope these gifts gave you some inspiration when it comes to buying a present for your long distance boyfriend. Let us know how you get on! We will post some more lists soon as we know being away from each other can be a challenging time. Still, a great gift goes some way to reducing that distance.
