7 gift ideas to cheer up your recently dumped friend

With their heart smashed into a million pieces, your post-breakup friend is going to need some extra TLC. 

A little gift can help cheer up your sad pal, as well as act as a little token of your friendship – which will help them feel loved when they need it the most. 

We put together a list of seven non-cliché presents you can get your friend who just got dumped.

A fun perfume

If the musical genius behind Thank U, Next  knows anything, it’s how to bounce back from a messy breakup. ARI by Ariana Grande is a fruity, floral fragrance that will inject some much needed fun into your sad pal’s life. 

And considering certain scents can carry with them certain memories, your friend’s current perfume probably reminds them of their ex. Giving them a new signature scent will help stop the flashbacks and enable them to put the past behind them.

Bedroom diffuser and a relaxing essential oil

Chances are your friend has a lot on their mind, which can make getting to sleep extra difficult. A diffuser and some relaxing essential oils can help them to relax and finally catch some z’s. Everything looks better through the lense of a good nights sleep, so help them get the rest they need to get through this tough time.

Chocolate-infused beauty products

Getting someone chocolate when their heartbroken is thoughtful, but it’s a touch cliché. 

Up the ante by getting them some chocolate infused beauty products instead, so they can enjoy the scent without getting sick of the taste.

Sassy hair clips

Hair clips have been the accessory of 2019, and it doesn’t look like they’re going anwhere. 

A cute reminder of what a boss your pal is every time they look in the mirror will help pep them up while looking like a style queen – win, win.

Silk pillowcase

Chances are they’re going to be crying themselves to sleep for the next couple of weeks, so it may as well be into a luxe pillowcase.

Silk Pillowcases are waaaay better for your skin and hair than cotton ones, so help your friend get the beauty sleep they deserve.

Eye masks

The lack of sleep and tears that come with a nasty breakup take an immediate toll on one’s eyes. Some de-puffing and brightening eye masks can help your friend look a little better than they’re feeling. 

Hot tip: tell your friend to keep them in the fridge for extra cooling properties.

     My name is MICHEAL RACHEL. When I read a testimony online on how DR DAVID the great and most powerful spell caster helped to bring back Divorce husband or wife EX LOVER. I was wondering how this can be true, Because many have failed me in the past without any result from them. I just let the post pass by and move on to the forum. To my notice under again, Some person posted and said tested and trusted spell caster. After reading through the mail it was this same man DR DAVID she was talking about. So I have no other option than to really check up how he works. I was totally devastated when my beloved husband left me. It was like my entire world vanishing into sorrow and pain. I know it sounds weird but out of all the spell casters I contacted, he was the only one to give me that impression of being so true and trustful. More than his words, He brought my husband back and he made all my wishes come true. He is now loyal, pays attention to me, he offers me flowers every Sunday, and we often go out at the cinema and the restaurant. My husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. I will be forever thankful for turning my life from hell to heaven! I believe those who need help should get to him for help. May God continue to use you to save broken relationships. To every one with marital problems, divorce issues, lost lovers or any relationship related issues, you can contact DR DAVID and wonder about the ultimate spell caster. contact him on his Email Address @ awesomespelltemple@gmail.com   His Website:: http://awesomespelltemplem.website2.me his WhatsApp +2347040654140 https://www.facebook.com/Awesomelovepelltemple
