Spending the festive season away from your most precious one? Well, there’s a last-minute gift that might help to ease the pain.
The Long Distance Touch Bracelet, a waterproof silicone band that comes in a set of two, allows you to send a ‘bond touch’ to your distant beloved.
The matching bracelet illuminates and vibrates, so they’ll know you’re on their mind. You can even create 10-tap rhythms as a sort of secret code. Who knew Morse code would be back in such a sweet way?
The devices are also rechargeable, and are available in blue, green, white and pink. It’ll set you back £75.30 for the pair.
It might sound like a far-fetched device, given that smartphones will let you get real-time visuals of your long distance love, but the element of physical touch – particularly without having to look at a screen – has been praised by users.
Celebrity couple Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes are reportedly fans of a similar device, wearing them when they’re working in different countries.

Customers have also noted that the device is helpful for people dealing with anxiety.
‘It’s a great way to communicate with my daughter. Since she suffers from anxiety, it helps her to know I’m there at a touch of the device,’ wrote one user.
‘I got these for both myself and my husband as a first year marriage anniversary.
‘It seemed like a nice thought and we love to buzz one another during the day while we are away from each other… Whenever I tend to get anxious, giving him a buzz helps, knowing his buzz is telling me he is right there,’ wrote another user.
