Maybe it's just my love language of gift giving or maybe it's because I like my boyfriend so much (actually, both!) but I feel like I'm always thinking of things to get him. Most recently, he sent me a stuffed animal bulbasaur and I was WAY too excited. Getting gifts for your significant other can be so much fun but also very difficult. What is the perfect gift for your favorite person who is thousands of miles away? Here are some gifts you can treat them to even when they're away!

1. Have their favorite food or drink delivered to them on Uber Eats or DoorDash

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

4131

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

Tulane University

1652

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors.
