While most people travel temporarily for leisure or business, some situations such as a new job or project could keep you abroad longer, perhaps more than you had expected. Sometimes a trip you thought would last just a few days turns into a week, a month, or even a few months before you can get back to your loved ones.
And as much as youāll still want to come with souvenirs for your loved ones back home, there are many ways to show them that youāre thinking about them despite being tons of miles away.
At times it becomes a permanent move, and whichever the case, sending gifts from abroad comes in handy.
If youāre thinking of surprising a loved one with a gift from abroad, here are some choices that your intended recipient will highly likely find meaningful ā without flying back home.
A Bouquet of Flowers
If youāre looking to make your loved oneās day and remind them just how much they mean to you from miles across the globe, nothing quite does the job better than a bouquet of freshly-cut flowers. And you donāt have to worry about the blooms dying on their way.
As long as youāre using a reliable flower delivery service online, the flowers can arrive as soon as the same day or the next day after placing your order.
A service like Bouqs Co will even help you send a bouquet of roses to your significant other for any occasion from abroad at a discounted rate. Whatās more, you can place your order in advance and pick the date you want the blooms to reach your loved one’s destination.
A Subscription to Their Favorite Entertainment Option
There are a lot of wonderful online streaming services available that make watching your favorite TV shows and movies on your laptop or computer as comfortable and easy as can be.
If youāre planning on sending a gift to a loved one who is an enthusiast of movies, TV shows, documentaries, or other entertainment content, a monthly subscription to something like HBO GO, Starz, or Netflix can be a great option.
However, you will want to make sure to pick what they can access from their location without geo-restriction issues.
An alcohol and cigar box
Cigar boxes and alcohol can make great gifts. In order to make the right decision on which type to get for your loved one, you need to alsoĀ understand cigar anatomyĀ and its specifications to dive deeply into the cigar world. Cigars come in different shapes and sizes, and the type of cigar you choose will determine the smoking experience. For example, a long, thin cigar will have a different flavor than a short, thick one. Knowing what kind of drink to pair with your cigar is also important. A full-bodied red wine will go well with a robust cigar, while a lighter white wine will better match a milder cigar. If you’re not sure what to choose, ask the person you’re buying the gift for their favorite cigar and drink pairing. Or, better yet, put together a DIY cigar and drink hamper with all of their favorites. They’ll be sure to appreciate your thoughtfulness!
A Thoughtful Handwritten Note/Card
Nothing says āI really care about you,ā better than a personal handwritten note or card. A letter can help remind your loved one just how much you care and value them, while at the same time letting them know how you think about and miss them.
And your letter doesnāt have to be long; it can be short and sweet, but whatās most important is that you put some effort into it. Besides, a well-written message can go a long way towards saying how much you care.
A Mix-Tape with Their Favorite Songs
Taking your favorite artist or band back home with you to listen to on the go is always a great idea, but it is not always a possibility when abroad. If you want to remind your significant other just how much they mean to you, a mix-tape or cassette of the songs youāve mutually loved for years can work wonders.
Wine or Beer from Your Country of Interest
If your loved one likes wine or a particular kind of beer, you can always send the gift by mail or by their preferred shipping service. It’s always a nice way to show them that you celebrate them, care for them, value their interests – and that youāre thinking of them from so far away. Booze sent from abroad might even make a greater statement!
Indeed, there are many ways to let your loved ones back at home know how much you treasure and care about them during your trip or stay abroad. Hopefully, the pointers above will inspire your creativity and thoughtfulness when choosing the next gift for those that matter most to you despite being many miles away.
