15 Long Distance Family Gifts You Will Actually Use

LuvLink Friendship lamps

Friendship Lamps are a great gift idea for a wide range of long distance relationships, especially families. The model above from the LuvLink team at FriendLamps.com uses wifi and touch sensors, which allow them to connect and control one another.

When one of the lamps is activated (by touching the top of the lamp) the other is going to light up, no matter where it is in the world! It’s truly an amazing yet subtle way to let family members know they’re in each other’s thoughts.

We think friendship lamps make great gifts for long distance families because you have the ability to connect more than two lamps together, making them perfect for big families.

LoveBox Spinning Heart Messenger

While sending messages through Facebook and WhatsApp is convenient it can feel very impersonal. This spinning heart messenger from LoveBox finds the perfect balance between the advantages of modern technology and the personal touch of traditional messaging methods.

LoveBox Spinning Heart Messenger

When you send a message through the LoveBox App, the heart at the front of the box will spin, just like a physical notification. The message can then be read on the mirrored screen inside of the box and you can send a message back or give them a virtual embrace.

It’s worth noting that the latest update also allows you to draw and send pictures along with messages!

Meta Portal

Meta’s (previously Facebook) new portal range is a great option for video calls with multi-generational families. Their setup guides are easy to follow and each model benefits different types of users.

The Adventure Challenge – Family Edition

When you get to see each other in person, you want to create memories that can last a lifetime. The Family Edition of The Adventure Challenge is a unique way to have new experiences you may never think to try otherwise.

Personalized Family Member Sign Post

Have children who have ‘left the nest’ or want a way to connect your multigenerational family in a symbolic way? This Personalised Family Member Sign Post is an amazing option. It’s handmade, which allows for personalization options. They include:

Personalized Family Member Sign Post

– Three to six signs – Family member names and distances – East & west sign ‘arrow’ directions

Family Member Sign Post Print

If you like the idea of a sign post but are unsure your family member would like a physical post sticking out of the ground then this is a great alternative. It’s also a great option if you wanted to add more than six signs, which is the maximum amount available on the physical posts.

Personalized Family Prints

While regular family portrait photos can be great, why not get creative and have one designed.

Personalized Memory Box

Sharing memories and reminiscing about the past can be some of the greatest moments we share with our families.

Travel Fund Money Box

Whether it’s planning a vacation or to travel back home, a travel fund box can be a helpful way to set goals towards the next visit. You’ll also find that it keeps you in closer contact, as you talk about travel plans and how much has been saved.

Leather Bound Journal With Initials

There’s something special about a classic-looking journal and this is a great option for family members who love to write or draw.

My Family Cook Book

There is nothing quite like eating food from a family recipe that’s been passed down from generation to generation. This Family Cookbook is a fantastic way to store all the amazing recipes in one place.

Family Album App

The Family Album app is the perfect way to keep everyone up to date on the latest pictures, videos and events. This is a great option for family members who don’t have social media accounts or that don’t want to post photos of their children for example.

Bond Touch Bracelets

We think they’re a great option between parents and children or even close siblings who are separated by distance but want to stay in touch.
