Long distance relationships with your friends are hard, but you can make it a little easier with a special gift to remind him/her that you’re not that far away.

These gifts ideas for friends will either connect you via technology, keep you on their minds, or remind them just how much you love them even when you're not physically there to say it. Scroll down to see gift ideas for friends that bring you together —if not in person, at least in spirit.

A ‘Wherever You Go’ Mug

This is first on the list of gift ideas for friends who are regular coffee or tea drinkers. You’ll be with them every time they take a sip. It’s a standard porcelain mug with print that says, “Wherever you go, go with all your heart”. They’ll know you support them even though they’re away, and miss them at the same time. You can even give them a mug with a personalized message to remind them that you miss them whenever they use it.

Scented Candles

Candles have become a staple in most houses when the weather starts to cool off and people look for ways to make their homes cozier. Maybe some people think candles are a cliché or too easy when it comes to gift ideas for friends— but, picking out a candle in a container or design that matches your best friends’ decor or a scent that speaks to their sensibilities and reminds them of home is the ultimate way to say, “wish you were here.” Give your best friend candles with the scent that they like to enjoy on a chilly fall evening. No matter where people fall on the candle-loving spectrum, candles are always a safe gift to give.

Long Distance Friendship Lamps

The next gift ideas for friends is a set of matching long-distance friendship lamps so you can always feel like you’re close to each other. Each of you sets up your lamp and connects it to Wi-Fi, and when you want to say a quick hello, you just touch your lamp and it will emit a glow on theirs (and vice versa). Go in on the purchase with additional friends and you can set it up so each of you has your own color that appears when you give your lamp a tap.

A Box of Sweet Treats

The richness and flavour of Danisa is thoroughly developed and tested by master bakers.

Therefore, Danisa is the perfect prestigious butter cookies to give.
