Should I send a tea set for Valentine’s Day to my long distance boyfriend?

He likes pretty things and tea.

Hmm, sending a tea set for Valentine's Day could be really sweet, but also maybe a bit much since you're long distance. Here are a few things to consider:

- Tea sets can be kinda expensive to ship, especially internationally. You'd want to make sure it wouldn't cost a fortune to get to him.

- There's a risk it could get damaged or lost in transit over such a long distance. Then he wouldn't even receive the gift on Valentine's Day.

- For a long distance V-Day gift, something more portable like a love note, candy, etc might be safer and more guaranteed to arrive on time.

- A tea set is more of an "anniversary" type gift since it's meant for enjoying together over many cups of tea. For V-Day you wanna choose something with a more direct romantic message.

My suggestion would be send him something simpler but more personal for V-Day like a heartfelt letter about how much you care. Save the beautiful tea set idea for when you see him next in person. That way you can both enjoy it together which will make it extra special. Does that help at all? Let me know if you need any other gift ideas!

Normally a "tea set" isn't a thing a man would want but if you know this is the type of thing he likes then go for it.

Bottom line, I don't advise anyone to do long distance, if one of you has moved away then you just break up. These rarely ever work and you two are miserable a lot of the time.

That's really great if he's really into teas. He'd be so happy about it! Go for it. You are actually very thoughtful for planning it on advance!

Yes, if he likes pretty things, though you should be his favourite pretty thing, lass.
