13 Gifts for Anyone Going Through a Breakup That’ll Brighten Their Day

It can be hard to get out of bed after a breakup. We’ve all been there. So why not give them a little more incentive to get up and get moving with a ClassPass gift card? It’ll give them access to over 5 million classes in more than 2,500 cities around the globe — whether they’re into Pilates, spin, or anything in between. Or they can use ClassPass to book a massage, facial, or other session at a local salon. Getting started might be hard, but they’ll feel great sweating through yoga poses or hitting the bag. (Prices vary, ClassPass) 

It happens to the best of us, but going through a breakup can sometimes cause us to question ourselves. Help your friend remember how awesome they are with this self-love workbook. Full of prompts, activities, and affirmations, it’ll encourage them to reflect, become more mindful, and let go of limiting beliefs. Hello to a brand-new, happier them. ($9.59+, Amazon)

Nothing says self-care like setting time aside for reflection. This one’s based on Cleo Wade’s popular book “Heart Talk” and comes with prompts they can engage with however they please. Wade even encourages rule-breaking along the way. So if they prefer to use it 52 days in a row instead of weekly, or turn to it whenever they feel they need some centering, it’s allllll part of the journey. ($12.82+, Amazon)

If you’ve been through a breakup you know drugstore chocolates just won't cut it. Send your bestie some quality chocolate. This limited-edition Valentine’s Day gift set comes with three truffle bars — we’re fans of the berry in love truffle bar — and three dark chocolate jcoco bars. Thanks to this vegan box set, your dairy-free friend doesn't have to be left out of the heartbreak chocolate party. And if you’re just looking to gift ‘em (or hey, gift yourself) a few *chef’s kiss* pieces, try the individual truffle bars. We can’t get enough of the Like You a Latte and Triple Toffee flavors. ($2.38+, Seattle Chocolate)

Because no one loves tossing and turning, especially after a breakup. Evenly distributed weight while she snoozes can help produce a deeper sleep, plus more serotonin and less cortisol. Aka more relaxing vibes and less stress. It’s made from hand-knit cotton (not tiny artificial beads typically found in weighted blankets), so it feels soft and breathable. Sweet dreams to your pal. ($199+, Bearaby)

No matter where your friend lives, you can send them their favorite cupcake — or cookie, or soup, or anything edible — with Goldbelly. Ship them the best Key lime pie from Florida or a cupcake sampler from Brooklyn’s We Take the Cake for a sweet surprise. The best way to mend a broken heart is through the stomach…that’s the saying, right? (Prices vary, Goldbelly)

Just because your friend is feeling down after a split, it doesn’t mean their sex drive has to suffer. Enter: the Lelo Sona Cruise 2. It’s a sex toy like they’ve never seen, designed to target the user’s clit with constant pulsating via sonic waves. It’s rechargeable and waterproof, and saves 20% of its power when you're holding it lightly against your body — but then uses more stored power when you push harder. So the motor stays just as powerful even under pressure. Their ex’s name? They’ve already forgotten it. ($119, Lelo)

Skin can go through a lot in the wake of a breakup, from stress-induced breakouts to skimping on nightly routines. Dr. Jart Cryo Rubber masks to the rescue. These two-step masks come with an ampule full of product to work into the skin before covering with the gel mask for extra absorption. Choose from four different kits —  brightening, collagen, hydrating, or soothing — to target specific skin concerns. Pro tip: Throw the kit in the fridge before use for an extra cooling sensation. ($14.95+, Amazon)

Kaur’s bestselling book of poetry can make any mood feel a little moodier. If you think your friend could benefit from a small collection of words that can articulate their inner sadness: Kaur has a chapter called “the breaking.” If you want to send them text to inspire them to love again: There are perfect bite-sized poems in “the loving” and “the healing” sections. ($17.99+, Amazon)

The book, written by Hinge’s director of relationship science, is mostly about getting into a relationship. But there’s a chapter on moving on and getting back out there that’s so useful. Which explains why we interviewed Logan Ury about it for our guide on how to get over a breakup. ($23.80+, Amazon)

If your friend is heartbroken and they’ve got a tub, send some bath bombs their way. We love this handmade set of seven made with natural ingredients.

Just drop it in and enjoy. ($9.99, Amazon)

If you can't take your brokenhearted bestie on a weekend getaway, get them a candle that’ll mimic the feeling. We love this beach cottage–scented candle that’ll have them feeling like they’re at a seaside bungalow. Or this road trip–scented candle for some nostalgic, adventurous vibes. Psst…check out 17 other affordable candles they might love. ($28.50+, Amazon)

Because sometimes having something pretty to look at is the easiest way to lift someone’s spirits. We love this bouquet specially made for International Women’s Day (but obviously gorgeous all year round), crafted with jewel-toned blooms. Or  send this rose lily bouquet that comes with its blooms in bud form and will blossom over a few days. They’ll love watching them slowly open into vibrant pink flowers. Psst…these don’t come with a vase, so make sure to add one on for just $12 more. ($48+, UrbanStems)
