Now that the season of love is officially upon us, I thought to myself, “What better way to celebrate the day’s looming festivities than ask my friends for gift ideas for their exes?” Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of Valentine’s Day, but I’m absolutely more of a Galentine’s Day gal—supporting these badass chicks in my life and appropriately validating their vents about the icks and issues they have with their exes over a fat bowl of guac and chips and frozen strawberry margs.
So instead of fancy chocolates imported directly from Belgium and cute plushies built directly at Build-A-Bear—you know, the ones with pressable paw pads that you can record in your own voice and say harrowing things like “I love you?” Yeah—please enjoy this carefully curated list of some safe-for-content V-day gifts my friends would allegedly give their exes (whom they still sometimes see, for whichever reason, or would prefer never to see again). Because what better way to embrace the future than dwell on the past—as my therapist would probably not say?
Author’s Note: These suggestions are from my friends based on their individual experiences. They had some comedic relief in relaying these gift ideas to me, ahead of this love-infested day. Some situations ended worse than others, and the most popular response was “therapy.” But I believe that therapy is good for everyone and want more people to feel confident in going to it, so I’ve instead handpicked these other funny and potentially useful ideas for my friends’ exes.
