9 Holiday Gifts That Pair Perfectly With Virtual BFF Hangs

The editor-approved gifts your long-distance bestie deserves.

My best friend and I navigated the majority of quarantine eight states apart, so you can bet we've got virtual hangouts down to a science. While I video called her from the bitter tail-end of a frigid New Jersey winter, she picked up in sun-speckled Miami, palm trees swaying in the annoyingly balmy breeze behind her. We streamed movies simultaneously, took virtual workout classes together, and entertained ourselves with monthly throwback-themed music chats — even convincing our dads to call in! (Although that was before they realized we expected firsthand accounts of the '60s. Turns out they were still in grade school. My bad!)

The point is, we've become experts in the art of the virtual BFF hang, which is excellent timing, as I don't plan to sail into the holiday season without her by my side. Sure, her face will still be on a screen, but it's that connection that matters most, which is why I've prepared a special Virtual BFF Hangout gift guide for setting up the ultimate time to celebrate. With a gift or two (or nine — they deserve it!) from Macy's, there's no reason you can't ring in the holidays the way you two do it best.
