If you miss them dearly

Give them a gift that even long after the holidays are over, they’ll look at and think of you. I stumbled across this money box on ASOS that’s super cute: decorated to look like a suitcase with a map motif, with Saving To Go Places written out on the side as well. You could give this to a loved one, accompanied by a card that says something like, Here’s something that’ll help you save money, so you can come visit me. Thinking of you, always! Pretty stationary is a great gift following this notion as well, as it will encourage them to use the gift to write letters back and forth. This will add a new, yet more traditional layer of communication to your LDR. ¨
