I’ve been in an LDR for almost 7 years. I love waking up to those long, heartfelt messages and surprise gifts like flowers or a pretty dress. But bro, my vag deserves a little somethin’-somethin’’ too!
While I’ve hugged those long distance relationship gifts tight, there’s one thing I’ve held even closer… literally. And I’m going to reveal my best long distance couple gift for ya today.
The benefits of long-distance relationship gifts:
LDRs often get a bad rap for feeling less intimate. Sure, you’re not physically touching your partner, but who says that’s the only way to connect? Words, images, and even using toys in sex have their rizz. They ignite your imagination and emotions, sometimes even more powerfully than physical touch.
When life gets hectic and catching up feels rare, seeing each other over apps like FaceTime, Skype, or Zoom becomes a lifeline. Now, throw in a long-distance adult toy. You’re not just closing the gap - you’re leveling up and discovering new sides of each other. These thoughtful long distance relationship gifts remind us that intimacy knows no boundaries, turning the challenges of distance into opportunities for growth and connection.
Long distance adult toys can actually turn your usual sexting or video chats into something far more connected and satisfying. They help you beat loneliness while keeping the spark alive. Plus, these toys open up chats about boundaries, desires, and all the sexy stuff we sometimes skip in long-distance relationships. They provide a fresh playground for intimacy even from miles apart.
In fact, this type of steam can make meeting in person all the more tempting and electric.
Top gift ideas for long-distance couples to keep things steamy:
Create a dirty little playlist -
Let’s get things hot and heavy with a playlist so steamy it might just fog up their screen. Think of this as the 2024 version of the classic mixtape; a spicy collection of all your favorite sex songs served up on a silver (virtual) platter.
Go full-on seductive with tracks that drip desire, or toss in the exact song you two last got freaky too. Add the first song you thought of when you read this. Take inspo from Aunt Sassy’s iconic top picks. Mix in tunes that scream your dirtiest thoughts about them. Make it naughty, make it them.
A fun little steamy gift box -
Turn up the heat with a long distance couple gift box that’s foreplay wrapped in a bow. This isn’t your average care package, it’s your naughty little love letter, bursting with “I-can’t-wait-to-fuck-you” energy.
And don’t you worry your pretty lil’ head about what to throw in. We’ve got you covered. We’re talking silky scarves perfect for tying up, tying down, or tying together (use your imagination, you dirty genius), the slickest, hottest water based lube to make things wetter than your fantasies, and even bold, vibrators to keep them moaning your name.
This box isn’t just a tease, it’s a promise of what’s waiting when you finally get your hands on each other. Every item is handpicked to make them blush, squirm, and count down the days till they can lose control with you. Distance doesn’t stand a chance against the kind of tension this steamy little box can build.
Or, grab the Thrill by its neck -
I’m going to recommend the best one of our friends as a long distance relationship gift. Meet Thrill - India’s first remote-controlled massager that’s basically your sexy partner-in-crime.
Thrill’s got a range - 20 meters max! Now, you’re probably thinking, “Wait, how do I control that from miles away?” Well bestie, you don’t. But don’t fret; there are still plenty of reasons to go for the thrill
This little beauty comes with a bulbous end that’s perfect for hitting all the right spots inside, while its tail end knows how to tease and please externally.
Oh, and the bestestest part? The remote isn’t just a remote—it’s a massager, too!!! So you’re giving your partner 10 intense vibration modes on the massager and seven more on the remote!!! I truly think that it’s a revolution.
Why do I love this bad girl so much? Yes, there are more surprises. It leaves your partner’s hands completely free to roam wherever you want them. She can now follow your filthy instructions, and slide fingers where you tell her to, while Thrill takes care of the rest. This means that you still have all the control, even without having the remote in your hands. Watch her moan and squirm, all while you sit back and soak in the show.
This isn’t just long-distance fun. It’s long-distance chaos, and you’re going to love every second of it.
How to use long-distance toys safely and comfortably:
You’re thinking about spicing things up virtually and I love that for you. But let’s start with the essentials: talking about it. Yeah, it might feel awkward to bring up using toys in sex but trust me, it gets easier once you get into it.
Start with something casual, flirty, and the right amount of suggestive. “Hey babe, I read this article and I thought it might be fun to give this a shot once, what do ya think?”
If they’re into it, this is your green light to get nosy in the dirtiest way possible. Ask the real questions: Do you prefer phone sex or video sex? Do they want explicit pics, or is hearing your breathy, out-of-control voice enough? Are you okay with me ordering what you do with your toy? Are we roleplaying as your toy sucks every inch of you? What’s your ultimate “turn-me-on-right-now” word or photo?
Oh, and here’s an important reminder: pick a safe word to signal when someone’s uncomfortable, even virtually. Boundaries will always be boundaries, and that doesn’t change only cause there’s a screen in between.
Now, let’s talk prep. Yeah, spontaneous hookup moments are hot AF. But when you’re in different cities, your schedules are different. Your boo is in the mood but you have a party plan today. You’re about to send a picture and start somethin’ but your babygirl is at a petrol pump and will take at least 35 more mins to go home. So, scheduling your virtual fun might be a great idea.
This scheduling also gives you the time to set your mood: Silky sheets and wearing something sexy? Check. Mood lighting or candles? Double check. And don’t forget to lock that door. You don’t need a surprise cameo in this X-rated show.
And babe, angles matter. I’ve heard that setting your laptop on pillows and tilting that screen down is the ultimate body-flattering to serve your face and curves. But these things can be subjective - so check out the best ones for yourself by getting in front of your screen 10 minutes in advance!
Let’s not forget the basics: trust is HOT and non-negotiable. Make sure your partner is someone you fully bank on. Make double-sure that encrypted apps are your BFFs for all juicy shots. Keep identifying objects like your diploma, mail, or mug with your name out of the background. If you’re feeling extra cautious, use a virtual background to keep your location private. And, depending on your comfort level, you can keep your face out of frame or make them imagine what’s making you moan with just your expressions.
With the right long distance adult toys and a whole lot of dirty talk, you’re turning that gap into the hottest playground ever. Time to serve, slay, and make them beg for the next session.
Real stories: how long-distance couples have benefited from these gifts
"I slipped into a lacy, scandalously tight red dress he’d sent me - along with a suction toy that had its agenda. We got on a video call, and I described every move: where my hands were sliding, what I was touching, the speed of the toy, and every switch in the vibration mode in between. She stayed locked in, watching intently, until I came not once, not twice, but four times in a row. It was our first time trying this, and now we’re both counting the days till our next session- because, trust me, the bar has been set very high."
- Nomita, Mumbai
"Last Christmas, we made a pact: we’d gift each other a sex toy and save the unwrapping for the big day. On the 25th, we hopped on a video call, giggling like kids as we tore open the boxes together. The mix of anticipation, both for what we’d gotten and how the other would react, had us grinning ear to ear. The giggles turned into playful, dirty talk as we started exploring our toys for foreplay together. We took turns giving each other cheeky little tasks, and teasing until things got very hot. Let’s just say, by the end of it, I knew exactly what they meant by the most wonderful time of the year. Hands down, my best Christmas ever!"
- Jaanvi, Patna
"I strongly recommend getting your hands on something that’s waterproof. Virtual shower solo time has changed our lives. We sometimes cover some of our body under bubbles, as a tease. We let water flow down our backs together. It’s like we’re under the same stream, feeling the same sensual rush, even miles apart. It’s everything."
- Pranav, Delhi
(PS: If you wanna take this suggestion up, grab LIT for you / your boo.)
Now that you’ve had fun with the best long distance relationship gift ever, don’t hit the end call immediately. What comes after your virtual hookup can be just as meaningful as your in-person times.
Sure, you can’t physically snuggle, but propping your phone or laptop on a pillow and whispering sweet nothings as you both drift off?
It doesn’t have to be mushy-gushy. You can get cozy under your blankets, exchange compliments, or laugh over how wild things got. If you're heading back to work or the gym after, keep it casual. Talk about what’s next in your day or even share some cheeky inside jokes. The key is to make the transition feel as natural as it would after in-person intimacy. The way you end this sesh also actually sets the tone for how close you’ll feel until the next time.
Now that you've got the ultimate list of ideas, why wait for a special occasion? Skip the wait for festivals, anniversaries, or birthdays to come around. Surprise them with a "just because" gift, because honestly, your pookie and your relationship deserve it!
