Gifts to Buy for Your Virtual Lover
This year’s Highsnobiety Gift Guide is all about the presents that’ll make a difference in these new and strange times. From gifts that encourage connection with loved ones, to self-love suggestions you entirely deserve at the end of 2020.
The holiday season is here, but Covid-19 continues to shutter borders and ground flights. It's looking likely that the pandemic is going to force many of us to spend the festive period separated from the ones we love. Unfortunately for you and that extra-special person in your life, it means that IRL romance may have to be called off for now.
Physical distance doesn’t have to result in a complete loss of connection, though. Making a statement of affection is what the holiday season is all about, and we’re not going to let anything change that. Instead, we’re going virtual with our gifting this year.
Whether mailing memory-evoking scents or something to fill that hug-shaped hole, we’ve curated a list of gifts to feel close to the one you love this Christmas, even if, by no fault of your own, you're not. This is Highsnobiety's guide to buying gifts for your long-distance partner in this age of chaos. So, without further ado, up yours 2020!
Scroll on for gifts to buy your long-distance lover.
