In this day and age, a divorce, rather than a wedding, may actually be the time when individuals are most in need of communal support in the form of an onslaught of gifts. Soon-to-be-divorced loved ones may need to entirely outfit a new apartment or fill in empty spots in their kitchen cabinets. They may need to rediscover themselves as individuals or just receive a little pick-me-up.
Taking them on a Target run, helping them fill and send out a divorce registry, or showing up with a cake when the papers are finally signed are all thoughtful gestures. Whatever stage of the process they’re in, we’ve found gifts to support, fulfill, and uplift them during this rocky time, including delicious, high-quality frozen meals and a life-changing introduction to meditation.
If you’re looking for ideas for filling out a half-stocked home, our wedding registry gift list is a good reference for best-in-class household items. And if they’ve found themselves without a drill or a toolbox, our home-and-garden section has thoroughly tested recommendations for every manner of tool.
