Gift Ideas for Distant Friends and Family

Sometimes our family and friends just don’t live very close. It makes gift giving even harder. You don’t always talk to them as often or see them as often as friends and family who live nearby. It doesn’t mean you can just forget about them come the holiday season though!

Here’s some gift ideas for those you love, but live far away.

1. Have a fruit basket delivered.

Seriously ~ you wouldn’t believe the kinds of fruit baskets they have now. You can choose one that is premade or you can create one from scratch choosing the fruits they love. Don’t forget to add in some yummy extras like chocolate or cheese ~ both of which are fantastic with fruit!

2. Send a gift card.

If you know what they like you can really make this special. Don’t go for the old walmart or target gift card, but make it special for something they like. Just about any store that is online, you can get a gift card for. If they love to garden, grab a gift card from somewhere like gardner’s supply, or if they like to cook from a great cooking shop. This lets them know you care, and are thinking of them.

3. Send a restaurant gift card.

Just about every restaurant now has gift cards. I love getting gift cards for dinner. We are trying to stay on a budget, so it’s a wonderful splurge without feeling guilty. :)
