Nice & Naughty Gifts to Send to your LDR (Long Distance Relationship) Bae
Celebrating with loved ones is what the holiday season is all about. Which can make being in a long-distance relationship even crappier.
I was in a LDR for four years so I know how draining it is to be away from them, especially around the holidays. To make a really fun project out of a bad situation, I would go HAM on packages! This is a great way to help distract yourself from the distance. It’s also nice to see their faces over video chat when they open the box for the first time and are totally blown away.
Here are a few ideas to make that holiday box extra nice (or naughty) for your boo.
Wrapped in Red and Green
Decorate the entire box. This will start everything off with a bang. Wrap the gifts in gift wrap, nestle them in tinsel or fake snow, and decorate the flaps of the box. It’s even better when you have a theme.
Something Sweet
My boyfriend, one year baked me 60 homemade chocolate chip cookies. They weren’t the best, but I melted knowing he tried to send me the taste of home. It was a great gift.
All I Want for Christmas is You
Another year, my boyfriend sent me a shirt he often wears and sprayed it with extra cologne. I sobbed after I opened it, because it was the next best thing to having him with me. You can easily do this with a shirt in their size and spraying your perfume all over it, paying extra attention to spray near the collar of the shirt.
A (date) Night Away from Home
Send a movie date gift! Send over your favorite holiday movie to watch together (or maybe a picture of it, because, streaming) a bag of popcorn, and their favorite candy. You can set a day and time, set up video chat, and start the movie on the count of 3. Enjoy your holiday movie night without having to share any of your popcorn.

Add something a little naughty to their package. Put on some lingerie (don’t forget a Santa hat) and snap a few pictures looking hot af. Print them out and write a cheeky little note on them like “I’ve been a little naughty this year” or, “Want to unwrap this present next?” It’ll drive them wild.
See You Soon
If you know when you’ll see them next, plan ahead and book something for you both to do. Book reservations for a concert, sports game or even dinner and put those reservations in the box. It’ll be a gift you can both look forward to!
Hope these tips make the holidays with your LDR bae a little jollier! Happy gifting, babes!
