1. Write Their Birthday In Your Phone Calendar And Set An Alarm Two Weeks Before

You now need extra time to pick out a gift to send your best friend, so avoid having to purchase an online gift card and get started on your friend’s awesome gift weeks in advance!

2. Send Them Your Favorite Recipes

Did you recently try a new recipe that you think your friend will love? Send the details their way so they can experience the same awesome meal you did. You’ll feel closer!

3. Keep Their Weather Forecast Saved On Your Phone

You can feel a bit more in tune with your friend’s surroundings and life by keeping up with their weather. It’s a small but fun way to know what the day must look like for them :)

4. Choose A Book Together And Discuss It On The Phone

Much like eating the same meal, reading the same book can bring you closer to your friend and let you continue to bond over something while you’re separated.

5. Send Them Cards For Holidays And Birthdays

Receiving mail feels awesome, and your best friend will feel the love when they receive a fun card from you on special days.

6. Send Emails

Talking on Messenger and through texts is easy, but let your friend know what’s going on by writing them an email. It’s the snail mail of the future.

7. Send Them Lots Of Photos

Your best friend will love that you’re thinking about them enough to send them photos of your daily life. Show off that cake you baked or your new outfit. It will feel like your friend is close by!

8. Learn The People In Your Friend’s Life

Making an effort to remember the names of the new people your friend knows will mean a lot to them. They won’t have to explain who is who anymore and you’ll be able to participate in discussions better.

9. Don’t Cancel Video Or Phone Calls Unless Absolutely Necessary

You and your friend have busy lives, but try your best to reserve your time together. You don’t want to go too long without talking!

10. Remember That You Will Always Have To Make An Effort

Long-distance friendships are tough and may seem impossible, but with the right amount of effort you can hold on to your best friends for life! They are totally worth it, right?
