Kissing whale keychains

Bond Touch bracelets
Amazon
The bracelet will give your partner a subtle sign of love whenever they're missing you. They'll seriously melt when they receive a "touch" and their wrist lights up during the day or night. Here's how it works: Slip on the bracelets, sync them with the Bond Touch App and you can send touches (aka the bracelets light up) if you can't physically be together.

Promising review: "Loved being able to give this gift to my boyfriend. We are in a long-distance relationship living over an hour away from one another. With our very busy life schedules it makes it hard to always text to let each other know we’re thinking about the other person. This product is great! We can let each other know throughout the day we’re thinking about them with our secret touch codes." — Courtney
