2023 certainly earned its stripes as the year of breakups, didn’t it? So, for some of us — especially those fresh out of a breakup — Valentine’s Day can feel more like a cruel reminder of what we’ve lost rather than a celebration of love.
As we step into 2024, the dust is beginning to settle, and life is slowly finding its rhythm once again. The world is reclaiming its balance after the whirlwind of events, and in the midst of it all, we’re navigating the highs and lows of personal relationships.
While some are setting sail on new adventures, others are grappling with the aftermath of heartbreak. It’s a time of transition and introspection, where the road ahead may seem uncertain. But amidst the chaos, there’s one constant we can always rely on: the unwavering power of friendship.
If you have a bestie who’s weathering the storm of a breakup, you understand just how crucial it is to show them some extra love and support. Because in times of need, a small gesture of kindness can make all the difference in the world. Whether it’s a cozy blanket to wrap themselves in during those tough moments or a care package filled with their favorite treats and self-care goodies, these gifts are tokens of love and solidarity.
That’s why we’ve put together a list of three thoughtful gifts that are bound to lift their spirits and remind them that they’re not alone. Because in times of need, a small gesture of kindness can make all the difference in the world.
A Curated Breakup Box
If your friend is going through a break up, this curated Breakup Box from Never Never Distillery ($75) is a super fun gift.
The Breakup Box comes complete with a bottle of Grenache Gin, a fake black rose, curated breakup playlist, and bespoke drink recipes such as the appropriately named “Tainted Love” and “The Player”.
A Good Book
When someone is going through a hard time, you can’t go wrong with a good book. It’s a great opportunity for them to spend time with themselves and invest in their own self-care, and it offers an option for healthy escapism.
“It Ends With Us” by Colleen Hoover ($13) is a great choice right now given it’s popularity, and it’s set to be turned into a film produced by Blake Lively.
A Self-Care Package
The Daily Blooms “Hey, Bestie” ($88) box is a beautiful and thoughtful gift for your bestie, no matter what they’re going through.
The pack includes a honey candle, some cute socks, a chamomile martini — to soothe and also help them get a little tipsy — plus a bunch of blooms and a personalised card.
