Loving from a Distance

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MSU chapter.

Valentine’s Day is close, but not everyone’s Valentine is just as close. Some couples are forced to celebrate this day of love from a distance.  Coming up with gifts to send through the mail isn’t always the easiest of tasks. If you’re in a long distance relationship, here are some ideas that may come in handy. Keep in mind, these personalized gifts can work for those who aren’t in long distance relationships as well!
