I'm putting together a care package for my partner. Despite knowing him well, since we come from different cultures (and have a bit of an age gap), I was wondering if the hive mind can give me some recommendations.
We've been in a long-distance relationship for four years; I'm in Asia, and he's in the Caribbean. It's our first time exchanging physical gifts. We come from different cultures: I'm Asian in my late 30s, and he's Black in his late 20s.
I'm considering items like handwritten letters, shirts, boxers/shorts, a plushie, a blanket, possibly a Kindle preloaded with his favourite light novels (though he's been into audiobooks lately), earbuds, a duffel bag, a pen with his name engraved, and a bead bracelet with a Morse code message.
He enjoys anime, the NBA, is a teacher and a graphic designer, likes hip hop, and his favorite color is green. He likes to eat but I don't know if I can send food.
Given this, do you have any thoughtful or simply must-have gift ideas for someone with these interests? Also, given his shift towards audiobooks (actually he uses the text to speech function on his phone or listens to a book on YouTube), is the Kindle still a good idea?
Looking for input from those who've navigated similar gift-giving challenges. Thank you! |
