Long distance gifts
Long Distance Relationship Gifts
When you're apart, the hardest part is that everything you share lives on a screen. A Lumière card gives them something real to hold, and one tap brings the two of you back together on their phone: your photos, your voice, your song and a letter from you.
Something they can hold while you're apart
Long distance relationships run on messages, calls and countdowns. A gift that arrives in the post feels different: it's physical proof that you were thinking of them. A Lumière card is a small, beautiful card with an NFC chip inside. Whenever they miss you, they hold it to their phone and a page made just for them opens: an envelope with their name on it, and inside, your story.
Because the page lives online, you can keep it up to date from wherever you are. Add photos after every visit, change the song, or write a new letter before a hard week. The card always opens the latest version.
What to put on a long distance page
Photos from your visits
Gather the best photos from your time together, airport hellos included. You can add up to 20, each with a short caption so they remember exactly where you were.
A video message
This is where a long distance page shines. Record a short video, just you talking to them, and add it to the page. You can add up to three videos, uploaded from your phone or as YouTube links. On a quiet evening, hearing your voice means more than any message.
The song you both listen to
Many long distance couples have a song they play “together” while apart. Paste the Spotify or YouTube link, and it plays when they open the page.
A timeline of firsts and reunions
Add the moments that matter: how you met, your first visit, every reunion. With a date and a sentence for each, it becomes a map of your relationship across the distance.
A counter of your time together
Add the date you got together and the page counts every day since, live. It's a quiet reminder that the distance is temporary and the relationship is not.
How it works
- Order your card. Checkout is handled securely by Stripe, and shipping is free Australia-wide. You can send the card to yourself or straight to them.
- Create your page. We email you a private link. Pick an occasion, then add your photos, videos, your song and a letter. Everything saves as you go.
- Publish. Tap “Publish my page” when you're happy. We post your card within 2 business days after you publish your page. You can keep changing the page afterwards with the same link, and your page stays online for at least 5 years, with no subscription.
- They tap the card. The page opens on their phone, no app needed. On iPhone they tap the notification that appears; most Android phones open it straight away, and the QR code on the back works on any phone.
See it for yourself: open the demo page on your phone, or build a sample in the free editor.
Posting it straight to them
Each card is made in Melbourne and shipping is free Australia-wide. At checkout, enter their name and address as the shipping address and we'll post the card directly to them. We post your card within 2 business days after you publish your page. Delivery usually takes 2–6 business days after posting (Australia Post standard letter).
We email you as soon as it's on its way, so you can plan a video call for the week it should arrive. If you'd like the page to be just for them, add a password, perhaps the date of your next visit. See shipping and returns for the details.
A gift that grows with every visit
Long distance relationships are full of chapters: the first visit, the hard months, the day you finally live in the same city. Your page can follow along. Keep your private link and add to it whenever something happens. One day the counter will be counting time spent in the same place.
