Nowadays a lot of us have to travel abroad for higher studies, work or business opportunities. Australia is a thriving destination for Indians. A large number of Indians travel to Australia for studies or in search of jobs. If your boyfriend is staying in Australia, then don’t lose heart thinking about the future of your relationship. Instead, focus on keeping your bond strong with the help of the right gifts. Just because you are in a long distance relationship, doesn’t mean that you can give up on romance. Your relationship has the strength to sustain the distance and that is exactly the reason that you two are still together. Choose gifts which are meaningful and straight from the heart to help reduce the physical distance between the two of you.

We understand the pain of not being able to see each other, especially on special occasions. Celebrating your birthday over Skype hardly makes up for the real thing. But you have to make the most of your situation by thinking of innovative ways to reduce the distance.

You have to do a little bit of planning beforehand for this. You could arrange a special romantic Skype session for occasions like Valentine’s Day and anniversaries. You could try unpacking each other’s gifts at the same time while video calling. Do this for occasions like Diwali and Christmas. Set aside time for each other, talk regularly on the phone. Get him things which bring up special memories and help him revive the happy times that he has spent with you.

Gift hampers are the ultimate feel good gifts. Having a bunch of your favourite things sent to you is one of the best ways to feel indulged and appreciated. Put together a gift basket for your boyfriend. You could order one online, but we would suggest that you DIY, for that special personal touch.

Picking gifts for your boyfriend shouldn’t be the most difficult of tasks. Just pick out things which define your relationship. Every couple has a different equation and that’s what makes each relationship unique. Recognise the defining points in your relationship and use them to pick out your perfect gift. For example, you could give him something related to the place where you two first met, or maybe something related to your first date. If you two have nicknames for each other, you could get that engraved on something. Let your love journey be the definition of your relationship.

Just because you two are far apart doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the same things. Pick out couple gifts that you both can enjoy. It could be a pair of matching lockets, or maybe a pair of bracelets. You could buy his and her mugs and send him his, then share a cup of coffee in the morning over Skype on a Sunday. You could also get his and her bathrobes. If he is home for the holidays, then get tickets for a show or a movie that you both enjoy. You could also book a couple’s massage session.

Being in a long distance relationship can be frustrating. Not being able to be near each other for lengthy periods of time takes it’s toll on a relationship. But don’t get disheartened just yet. You could shorten the distance between you with the help of gifts, give him personalised gifts like photo mugs, key chains and t-shirts. You could order matching bracelets online or send him something like a DIY message jar with a message for every day that you will stay apart.
