Your friend going through a breakup may say she, “Doesn’t need anything” but she is lying. She doesn’t mean to be lying—she is going through a breakup and is a giant mess! But if you’ve ever had your heart broken, then you know how prone you are to making some silly decisions in this state—decisions like pre-ordering five years of gourmet food delivery service so you don’t need to leave your house, and getting a tattoo of a Disney figure on your butt because, “F— it!” Your friend may be on the verge of these decisions right now, so you should probably swoop in and distract her, cheer her up, entertain her, and give her a little perspective. Gifts can do that. Here are clever gifts to give someone going through a breakup.

An ice cream maker

She’s going to eat the ice cream, so you can at least give her a way to make some healthier recipes at home. And honestly, making your own ice cream helps you feel oddly independent.

A really good vibrator

Like, a really good one. Do your research. Get her a vibrator that will make her wonder why she ever even goes on dates.

A fabulous robe

She should at least wallow in style! Get her a fabulous robe—maybe a silk kimono—so when she’s wandering around her apartment distraught, she can catch a glimpse of herself in that thing and go, “Damn. I look good though.”

A massage

She has a lot of toxins building up in her body right now. Between the stress, and the wine-drinking and French-fry-eating that comes with the stress, she needs to detox; a massage is great for that.

Tissues

She doesn’t have enough, I promise you. Get her five boxes, with really cute covers, and place them strategically around her home for her.

A food delivery service gift card

Your friend shouldn’t have to worry about grocery shopping and cooking right now. Get her a gift card to Grub Hub or a similar service so she can get back to her wallowing and let someone else do the cooking.

Paper plates, cups, bowls…

Doing the dishes is miserable even for perfectly happy people. Your girl going through a breakup does not need to stand over a sink scrubbing right now. Get her some seriously cute paper plates, cups, and bowls so she can use them and toss them.

A new haircut

She was going to get one anyways! So be a pal and book her an appointment at a really good salon (her judgment isn’t the best right now and she would’ve gone to the first bargain place she saw).

An amazing going out outfit

She doesn’t need to wear it now, but it can sit in her closet and when she is ready to reemerge, all she needs to do is send you a selfie in the outfit. You’ll know what it means.

Some sage

Bad vibes will be circulating through her place non-stop. Give your girl some sage so she can clear the air in her home each day, and try to start fresh. It will also help with her meditation, if she’s into that.

Sleepy tea

People don’t tend to sleep so well when they’re going through a breakup. Help your friend not use wine and sleeping pills to pass out: give her some healthy sleepy time tea.

Do you have any idea how satisfying it feels to knock candy out of a piñata? If the piñata happens to look like her ex, nobody will complain…

A week at a yoga studio

If you give her the pass, she will feel obligated to use it—that’s a good thing, since otherwise, she’d just stay in her home. Yoga can help relieve the pressure and tension building up in her body.

A fabulous yoga mat

Get her a yoga mat with an empowering or hilarious message or image. Get her a yoga mat that you know will make everyone else in her class ask her where she got it/who gave it to her. She needs a little attention right now.

A punching bag and boxing gloves

Whether it’s anger, frustration, sadness or sexual tension, your friend has some stuff to release right now. Giver her a punching bag and gloves so she releases her stuff on those, and not on the gorgeous China her mom gave her.

A week at a boxing studio

Taking boxing classes can really help a woman find her inner strength, and it gives your friend somewhere to go right now. She needs that.

A pillow with your face on it

She can’t help but laugh if she wants to cry, grabs a pillow, and sees your goofy face staring up at her. Plus, it will make her feel like you’re always with her.

A hand-written letter

Remind her of everything she has overcome—from breakups to career disappointments. Remind her how strong she is, and all the things she’s managed to survive. She needs that right now.

Some really good cry music

Breakups can be confusing; sometimes you want to cry, but you can’t. It’s like your cry-constipated! Give your friend some good crying music to get it out.

A pager

This is just silly and cute. Give your friend an old-fashioned pager, so she can page you any time she just needs someone to call her.
