Breakups totally suck, and getting over them can be pretty tough. We’ve talked a lot about ways to get over a breakup. I spotted these breakup first aid kits and thought about what I’d want to go in my own.
When you go through a breakup and don’t want to leave your bed, you need supplies on hand. You have no idea how much it helps to just have everything in one place so you can wallow in peace. It’s nice to have friends around and stay busy, but sometimes you just need to be alone and be a mess for a bit.
Here are 10 things I’d put in my breakup first aid kit:
Your Favorite Candy
I'd like an assortment of gummi candies. Preferably of the bear shape.
Ice Cream
Ben & Jerry's, obviously. Candy is for eating when you've stopped crying. Ice cream is for you to cry into.
Your Favorite Book
Any book that makes you feel good and that will take your mind off the breakup is essential.
A Haircut
I cut my hair after every breakup without fail. A coupon for a free cut in a breakup first aid kit would be clutch!
Sad Movies
Watching sad movies after a breakup actually helps! You need an assortment like The Notebook, Like Crazy, The Vow. Anything that will make you cry, basically.
hand-grabbing-tissues
For crying. Duh.
Bath Treats
Bath salts, essential oils and bubble bath. Breakups are stressful, so hit the tub and relax for a minute.
A Stuffed Animal
I'm not a big snuggler, but it's nice to just have something to hold after a breakup.
A Gift Card To Your Favorite Store
Retail therapy really can make you feel better, and you definitely need a new outfit to rock when you're feeling up to leaving your room.
Pictures of Ryan Gosling
Preferably the shirtless ones. But him in a suit is fine too as long as there are enough to look at all day.
