Nine Web Sites to Help You Find Just the Right Present for a Divorced Friend
DIVORCE PARTY GIFT IDEAS
Need ideas for the guest of honor at a divorce party? Look no further. Divorce parties can run the party spectrum from classy affairs to downright bawdy blowouts. Here are some gift possibilities for any kind of divorce party.
For the sensitive friend: A gift basket is a nice touch. For one, a mug emblazoned with the words You’re Too Good for Him might be the perfect way for someone enduring a breakup to start their day. Or a bracelet that reminds them of strength in adversity.
For the friend who could use encouragement: An Incredible Instant Adoring Boyfriend DVD. He does housework and he’s generous with compliments.
For the friend who is ready to be inspired: The Stepping Stones affirmation set provides 48 cards with women’s wisdom for healing.
For a friend celebrated at a Girls’ Night Out: The perfect glass for the woman of honor might be the “Who Needs a Man” wine glass. Hand-painted in shades of pink and silver, the design celebrates all that is good about single womanhood.
For the friend who can use a good laugh: Consider a ceramic sign with a cheeky quote that reads something like this: “It is better to have loved and lost than to live with a psycho for the rest of your life.”
For the friend with a sense of humor: You could get a chocolate bar that cheers “Happy Divorce,” but that wouldn’t be nearly as memorable as the three-and-a-half-foot-long inflatable husband or wife. (All your friends will like him, she won’t upset your parents, they’re always willing to please, doesn’t watch football or spend too much money shopping, never breaks wind, is always faithful, and he [or she] floats.)
For the friend who has been through too much with an ex: This is for the person whose divorce has been more than any one person should bear. And that person is mad. The EX Knife Holders will provide some personal satisfaction (and a laugh) every time you walk into the kitchen. And they come in a variety of colors to match any decor: black, red, chrome, pink and apple green.
For the friend who really means it: An engravable wedding ring coffin to bury the marriage with the ring. As the manufacturer says, “It’s the perfect way to close the lid on your dead marriage.”
