Birthday Gifts for Long Distance Boyfriend

Maintaining a long-distance relationship with your boyfriend can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. With enough love, communication and plenty of holidays, it'll not only work but flourish.

However, when you’re looking for a birthday gift, knowing what to get them can be tough. As you don’t see them on a daily basis, or always know exactly what they need or want, you run the risk of getting something they won’t use or need.

We’ve listed ten birthday gifts for long-distance boyfriends that may tick all the boxes for his needs.

1. “Hug This Pillow Until You Can Hug Me” Pillowcase

Being in a long-distance relationship can be tough but having pillows that remind you of your significant other can send a warm feeling through your body.

Even if you’re sleeping alone, with one side of the bed cold, a pillow that reads “hug this pillow until you can hug me” is a beautiful sentiment. What’s more, this one, in particular, is made of high-quality cotton and comes in a range of styles and sizes to suit.

5. Custom Engraved Coordinates Rings

If you have decided that jewelry is the best birthday gift for your long-distance boyfriend, the next step is choosing the best piece. While you are sure to know a lot about your boyfriend, you may not know the exact style of rings he’s into. If this is the case, a safer option is to select a plain band that’s custom-engraved. These coordinates rings are engraved with the coordinates of your choice. Add yours and his coordinates and feel the unique connection of knowing you’re both wearing the same ring at the same time.

6. Couples Necklaces

When you’re searching for a birthday gift for a long-distance boyfriend who’s in military service, it can be tricky to know what to get him. While, of course, the comforts of home can be enough to bring warmth to his heart, so too can couples necklaces. His can say I’ll be back, while yours can say I’ll be waiting. This not only reiterates the knowledge that you’ll both be faithful but gives him something to look at and love while he’s away from you.

7. Love Artwork

Whatever the reason you and your boyfriend can’t be together, it doesn’t mean you can’t treat each other to gifts every now and again. The postal service is typically quite reliable, so finding a beautiful piece of love art as a birthday gift for your long-distance boyfriend is not out of the question.

You can either opt for something premade such as this one with two hands creating a heart, or you can make your own. Artwork symbolizes love in the best way possible and can shorten the often-vast distance between you. Even better, he can add it to his wall and think of you every time he looks at it.
