Long Distance Relationship Gifts When You Cannot Be There in Person
Long distance relationships involve a lot of phone calls, countdowns and saying things like “only six more weeks” as though six weeks is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to wait for a cuddle.
Unfortunately, teleportation still has not been invented. Very inconsiderate of science.
So when you cannot physically be there, a personalised gift featuring your face might just be the next best thing. Is it exactly the same as having you there? No. Can your partner put it on the sofa, cuddle it in bed and send you increasingly ridiculous photos of it? Absolutely.
Send Your Face Instead
Flowers are lovely. Chocolates are great. But neither of them has your face.
A custom face pillow does.
Choose a favourite personalised photo, upload it and suddenly your partner has a miniature cuddly version of you keeping them company. At Snugzy, there are over 1,000 designs and outfits to choose from, meaning you can make your stand in significantly better dressed than you usually are on FaceTime.
You could create a personalised face pillow, a personalised photo cushion or even a personalised teddy featuring your face. Romantic? Definitely. Slightly ridiculous? Hopefully.
And if putting your own face on a personalised pillow feels too obvious, use a favourite picture of the two of you, their pet or another photo that means something to your relationship.
Give Them Something They Can Actually Hug
When you are missing someone, sometimes a text saying “miss you” does not quite cut it.
This is where personalised photo presents have an unfair advantage over most long distance relationship gifts. A custom pillow with face can actually be hugged.
A personalised cuddly toy or personalised teddy bear with photo gives them something physical to keep nearby until you are together again. Unlike you, it also cannot steal the duvet, snore or insist it is not hungry before eating half their takeaway.
Personalised cushions can sit on the bed or sofa, while a custom photo pillow can become part of their everyday space. It is a small reminder that somebody miles away is thinking about them.
Make Your Favourite Memories Travel
The best custom photo gifts start with pictures that already have a story behind them.
Maybe it is your first holiday together, a photo from your first date or the picture where you both look suspiciously good and therefore use it for absolutely everything.
Turning those personalised pictures into a photo pillow, customised cushion or personalised photo teddy makes the gift about more than simply putting a pic on a pillow. It brings a shared memory into their home.
And because Snugzy products are lightweight and portable, they can travel too. Your personalised teddy bears can come on weekends away, holidays and eventually the journey to see you.
Prepare yourself for photographic evidence.
Make the Distance Slightly Less Rubbish
Long distance relationships are hard enough without every gift feeling generic.
Creating a custom gift from a photograph makes it completely personal to the two of you. You could customise a teddy bear with your partner's favourite picture, create a personalised face cushion of yourself or surprise them with a custom teddy wearing an outfit that perfectly matches an inside joke.
Then send it their way and wait for the inevitable photo when it arrives.
You might not be able to turn up at their door whenever you want.
But your face can.
And unlike you, it fits quite comfortably inside a parcel.
