Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are especially tricky this year and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!
1. A jar of capsule messages for you to write little love notes on so they can open one when they are missing you too.
2. A cross-stitch kit to keep their hands busy while you FaceTime them for hours and share your day together.
3. A "Why I Miss You" journal because you'll have just as much fun filling this out as they will have reading it.
4. A pack of aerating wine decanters because you're in that new phase of your life where this is actually something you'd want so you know your bestie will love it too.
5. A set of two friendship lamps, one for your home and one for theirs. When you touch your lamp, the two lamps will light a new color as a simple way of showing you're thinking of them.
6. A pair of chevron earrings for your BFF that'll have them feeling cute as heck and missing your iconic sense of style.
7. A stylish (!?) truffle-infused hot sauce because you know exactly who in your family (or circle of friends) puts hot sauce on everything and you just know they'll appreciate this thoughtful gift.
8. A pillowcase because you're missing hugging them and you just know they're missing hugging you too.
9. A retro hotel keychain based on you and your loved one's fave TV show or movie. If they watch an episode without you, it's a crime.

13. A three-year Q&A couples journal so you have something to discuss nightly over the phone when you're answering the daily journal prompt. It can help stir memories from each other's day. What a gift to look back on in years to come!
14. A Paige's Candle Co. candle because you really want to support small businesses this year and your BFF is as candle obsessed as you are.
15. The Love Language card game to get the memories flowing and stay up late hours into the night reminiscing and making new connections, no matter the distance between you.

17. A set of "open when" letters for your long-distance love to have something to open when they're missing you most.

19. A pair of whiskey glasses so you can have your night cap from thousands of miles away, together.
20. A super useful milk frother so they'll think of you every morning as they make their perfect cup of coffee. Moo-ve over Santa, there's a new best gift giver in town!
21. A set of vinyl record coasters because they'll call you immediately to tell you how much they love them and it'll be music to your ears.
22. A gift set filled with 12 moisturizing bath bombs because the person you miss the most is an avid bubble bath taker.

24. A Dungeons and Dragons starter kit that'll be the perfect excuse to hang out and try something new!
