4 Crazy Perfect Gifts For the newly Divorced

Got some newly single ladies on your gift list? Here’s a list of 4 Crazy Perfect Gifts For the newly Divorced woman. Treat yourself or a friend to these must haves for the newly single.

1. A subscription to Dollar Shave Club. When you were married, you could get away with not shaving your legs. You could hide those prickly pear cactus legs under coffee stained yoga pants covered in cat hair and call it a day. But you’re single now. Someone might actually touch your kneecap! Watch out! You might even wear a dress with heels! When I finally have to break down and shave my’/IUXu7 legs, all I usually have is an old razor that’s been sitting on the side of the tub for a few months. It’s about as useful as raking a nail file over your legs. So I finally broke down, I chose the cheapest twin blade razor subscription at Dollar Shave Club. I get a new set of blades each month in the mail so I’m not caught hairy. All the razors are the same. No lady versions in pink or purple. Just good solid fresh blades that actually work. Sign up your single friend to remind her that she can’t be vanilla gorilla anymore.

2. A good bottle of bubbly. No Cook’s, Andre’s or crappy sugary sweet stuff that you can buy at 7-11. Get a nice bottle of the real deal. Champagne, sparking wine or Prosecco. You and your single friends need to have this on hand. Why? Because your awesome new life is starting that’s why! You are going to have so many amazing reasons to pop the cork and celebrate. Have some chilled champagne waiting in the fridge at the ready. Don’t know a thing about choosing champagne and sparkling wine? Here’s a blog from awesomely informed wine educator and blogger Mary at Vindulge. She’s picked out some California, French and Spanish bubbly that won’t totally break your budget. Experiment and try some of these!

3. Sexy underwear. Victoria’s Secret is fine but I’m kinda old school, I love the trashy Hollywoodness of Frederick’s of Hollywood. Good satiny silliness. Or check out this blog, The Lingerie Addict, with links and lists of some amazing brands that you’ve probably not heard of, some affordable and others dreamy but really expensive. This blog is a nice place to peruse lots of possibilities.

One of my best friends took me lingerie shopping when I separated. We had a BLAST trying on nighties, naughty things and laughing. We were in the dressing room so long that I think the saleslady thought we’d lost consciousness. It was one of the best days ever.

And I swear to you, it doesn’t matter if anyone else is ever going to see these fabulous things. YOU will know that you care enough about yourself to wear nice underwear. No more Granny panties, or blown out drawers with the tattered elastic peeling off. You are worth a nice pair of underwear and a cute bra.

4. A subscription to eharmony or match.com. If it’s too expensive get your parents or friends to chip in and buy the damned thing. Even if you aren’t going to actually date, its fun to “man shop”. Instead of pinning DIY Pinterest projects using pallets (which you are so never gonna make), search on Match.com! Wonder what men look like in Portland? Tallahassee? Man shopping. It can be your new hobby. (And even if you aren’t dating, it’s good to see what’s out there. Read the profiles to see what most men are looking for and care about. It’s a great education if you are going to date.)

As a single lady, what gift do you hope that someone gets you?
