Top 3 Living Gifts You Can Send To a Faraway Loved One or Pal

If you’re reading this, there’s a big chance you have or had a friend or loved one who you don’t see so much because distance separates you. The good thing is, there are a few ways to keep in touch without visiting a foreign country, besides calling or chatting on social media.

And if you guessed right, this includes gift-giving! Perhaps you just miss them a lot, or it’s their special occasion and you want to surprise them with a special gift.

Well, living things make great gifts for several reasons. Perhaps the biggest reason is that life itself is a gift to be embraced, treasured, and protected at all times. Whether your faraway friend loves gardening or they are more into animals, below are five living gifts they might find thoughtful and perhaps fall in love with.

1. A Bouquet of Fresh Blooms 

When it comes to gift-giving, flowers never get old. They are perfect as gifts for just about anyone on their special occasion. Whether you want to send a message of romance to your special person or you want to wow a mom on International Mother’s Day, you can never go wrong with a perfectly chosen bouquet of flowers.

What’s more, fresh blooms come in a wide variety of arrangements to choose from as seen at The Bouqs Co. website. What’s more, you can order them online and have them delivered to your faraway friend as soon as the next day. It’s a perfect way to keep the connection between you and your friend alive despite the distance.

2. A Houseplant 

Yes, a houseplant is one of the most incredible gifts you can send to someone as a gift on their special day. The best thing about potted plants is that they can be kept anywhere in the home or office, and some of them can even last for years.  

And if it’s a really rare and exotic plant, like a cactus, it could even last for decades without needing much care and attention! Furthermore, a houseplant will also welcome your friend home with a loving touch, making them think of you every time they look at it.

Additionally, there are so many awesome plants you can give as gifts out there. Some of these include:

  • Cactus
  • Succulents
  • Carnivorous plant
  • Bulbasaur
  • Bonsai tree
  • Spider plant
  • Jade plant

3. A Pet

Is it your friend’s birthday, anniversary, or any other special occasion? If so, take a trip to the pet store, and look for the perfect gift. It could be a cat, a dog, a bird, an iguana, a fish, or even a bunny. Your faraway pal will most likely have something they could fancy from the list of all possible animals you can find in a pet store.

However, you might want to do some digging to find out your recipient’s preferences. This is because some people tend to have pet phobia or allergies to certain types of pets.

If they happen to have a favorite animal friend, a pet for a gift will definitely be full of love and make them feel special. They’ll probably feel as if you’re together any time they look at their animal pal.

Living gifts can help your loved one or pal feel like you’re with them. They also symbolize life, love, and tenderness. Some of them have numerous benefits to the recipient’s health and wellness, including purifying indoor air, inspiring creativity, and providing company.

If you’re wondering which gift to send to a distant friend to make them feel cared for, the above pointers should come in handy.
