    Maybe you’re lucky enough to live in the same town as your best friend. If not, finding things that keep you connected is essential: long phone calls, Skype sessions, and random texts to say hello. These lamps are another cute way to make you feel close when you’re far apart.

    Each person connects their lamp to WiFi, and when one person touches their lamp, the other lights up. This is a little way to say, “I’m thinking of you.”

Then, the object of your affection opens the box to read the sentiment on the mirrored screen inside. Then, they can return the virtual embrace by spinning the heart to send a shower of digital hearts to the sender’s screen. Perfect for a Valentine’s Day gift for your long-distance love.
