My LDR Lady and I have had most of our meetings together in special places to us. Usually if we give a gift it relates to that trip....
On our first meeting I bought her a starfish that matched the one on a necklace she was wearing. It hangs in her bedroom. We have our Fortune cookie fortunes from a dinner at a hole in the wall Chinese place.
Our next meeting was a quick one as she was travelling through. She left with a bunch of photos, and a crab pot buoy that washed up on the beach as we were walking along. It hangs in her patio now.
When I visited her, I entered a fundraising drawing for a bunch of miscellaneous stuff. I put her phone # on the ticket. When we won, she mailed me the loot. A Coca Cola Sign, a Coca Cola Clock, and a pink visor with a wig in it called "Flair Hair". The clock is in my office, the sign is at home, and the Flair Hair came out at Halloween. (I am bald and shave my head)
One of our most special trips was a camping trip in the mountains in the summer. When I returned there in the Fall, I sent her Aspen leaves from the grove where I carved our initial in a tree.
I surprised her with a picture collage i made of us together on our various trips. I sent it off to a photo lab and had a 5x7 shipped to her house. That is on her bed stand. Total Surprise and lots of happy tears there.
I came across a children's book that was particularly touching, and relevant to us and had it shipped to her house when I was visiting. I signed and dated it while I was there.
Other Gifty stuff. Proof that gifts don't have to be Expensive...
She sent me a ball cap from her summer job.
I gave her a tshirt from my company.
One of my vendors gave us a bunch of can coozies so I sent her some on a whim
Then I attended a concert at a brewery, and they gave me a knit beer coozy so I sent that. Now it has become a tradition of sorts to send her beer coozies
For Christmas, I bought a charm necklace and 3 charms that i thought were symbols of our relationship. I also wrote up a page that talked about what each symbol meant.
She has sent me:
Tshirts unique to her area
A motivational picture
Decals
A sweatshirt in my size she wore for a week
At Christmas:
A watercolor she painted
a bottle of gin from a local distillery
A stocking filled with stocking stuffers.
The ultimate gift though is a plane ticket...That means more than any knick knack or Jewelry right now...
