During Christmas last year, I was in a long distance relationship. This year, I won't be¦ because I moved 4000 miles to live with my partner.

It's tough, I know ” but manageable, especially since Wi-Fi and Skype exist. But crap, what are you supposed to do about gifts?!

If you want to send them money or a gift card
DON’T YOU DARE SEND THEM EITHER OF THESE THINGS IN THE MAIL. I’ve been on the receiving end of that, and guess what? If cold hard cash gets lost en route, it’s gone forever. Instead, send them a card so they have something tangible to open, hold and appreciate the day of, and then write in the inscription that there is a digital component as well. Tons of shops now offer gift cards that you can buy online, and a code will be sent to the receiver’s email for them to spend directly on their website. One of my favourite brands, Matt & Nat (really adorable vegan leather goods, 10/10 would recommend) offers this. Send your BFF a $50 credit through Matt & Nat, which can be used to buy something like this super cute Maya Coffee Wallet Clutch ($45).
