Ex-Change Rate – Getting Over a Breakup

Breakups are no fun. When you are in the middle of one it can be hard to see how your life will ever get back to normal. Having to watch a friend go through a breakup can be hard. You want to tell her that “You will be better off without him” or “This is a good thing for you” but you know she is not ready to hear that yet. What you really need to do is to distract her and get her laughing again.

The Ex-Change Rate gift box is the perfect way to do that. It has all the tools that a woman will need to get over a broken relationship. She will have a great time expressing her frustration with strategically placed pins in the colorful voodoo doll. When pins are just not enough it is time to move on to the 5-in-1 Multi Tool Floral Hammer. Smashing the stuff he left at her place or even framed pictures of him can be very therapeutic. When she has grown tired of venting her frustration she can spend a relaxing night at home reading the helpful and hilarious It's Called a Breakup Because It Is Broken: The Smart Girls Break-Up Buddy softcover book. It has all the tips and advice she needs to move on and prepare for her next relationship.

She might choose to read the book in the tub where she can use the bath bomb, personalized powder coated wine tumbler and the delicious gourmet popcorn.

With the Ex-Change Rate gift box she will quickly forget about her broken relationship and will be ready for the next phase of her life and she will have you to thank for it.

Call Me a Toe Truck – A Gift for Her Feet

She can then use the pumice pad, pedicure wand, and sloughing lotion to soften those calloused heals.

After filing with the cute, patterned nail files and pushing back those cuticles with the Birchwood cuticle sticks she will be ready for the included cuticle revitalizing oil and high gloss top coat. When she is done everything goes back in the included waterproof bag until she is ready to use it again.

Of course, every good bath includes your favorite beverage so the personalized wine tumbler with her name engraved on it will be the hit of the box. The rubber ducky soap is really too cute to use so that will probably stay in its box. However, the bath salts, premium sugar scrub and bath bombs will be used and enjoyed for several baths to come.
