Distance in this new age world is not that huge an issue anymore. The world has diminished with modern and contemporary technology. Advances in the field of communication has made it possible for people to interact and talk, chat, and even see each other at the same without being physically together. And this can be done wherever you are. I have yet to know a place not reached by the machinery of modern technology. And a lot of activities can be done by two or more people at the same time even if they are on opposite sides of the earth, and this through the power of the internet. Take for instance online gaming. Millions of online gaming communities have sprouted and they have weekly, sometimes even daily, interactive web-based activities. And how about game consoles such as Xbox? This console is equipped with a "matchmaking" option that allows the player to go against another player with the same skill level as his in another part of the world at the exact same time, and he is able to see the other player using Microsoft’s Vision camera. Do not discount corporate meetings done using the wonderful software called Skype and other chat-with-cam software.

Relationships flourish even in the face of detachment. And this is doable using the wonders of modern communication gadgetry. Newly-released phones have become more than – phones. 3G phones allow video-conferencing and sending motion picture via the airwaves. And now, you can send your loved ones with gifts utilizing the worldwide web. Sending gifts online is now fad that eliminates the delay in the regular postal service. All you have to do is pick a nice gift, add it to the online cart and proceed to the counter to pay using your debit card or credit card. You can choose a few and pile them all up in the cart. Flowers are always a blockbuster. Chocolates come in a close second and greeting cards are a near third.

Sending gifts online have never been as spectacular as this. Choices ranging from the classic teddy bears to the high rollers’ jewelry, sending gifts online have been amazingly exciting especially if sent to an unknowing loved one. Imagine the effect to a person who faces the surprise of his or her life upon realizing that a gift has been sent and upon knowing that the gift was from you.

So if you are separated by distance from your family or a special someone, and that special day comes, whether it is your anniversary, or your significant other’s birthday, or even just a regular ordinary day, sending gifts online would be perfect. Gifts are timeless and it does not choose occasions.
