About this list:
So I've been away from ThisNext for a month or two. Busy, busy, busy. And I have discovered something important: while ending a 13 year marriage is not fun, shopping to get over it most certainly is. So with that in mind, I'm going to share some of my favorite finds with all of you in the hope that you, too, find comfort with your credit cards...
Qualifications:
Umm... divorced. And shopaholic.
Wedding Ring Coffin
4 people recommended this item
Description
Yep, it's a bit macabre. But I have to keep the rings for posterity- or at least for the kids to pawn one day. So I may as well give them a fitting resting place.
And if you need a gift for the ex... something to consider. It says "thanks for the memories" with an implied middle finger.
From the site:
The Wedding Ring Coffin is made of solid wood and has a dark glossy mahogany finish. The coffin measures 6 1/4" long x 2 1/4" wide x 2 3/8" high . The interior is lined with black velvet and includes a ring insert to comfortably and securely hold your wedding ring.
Your Wedding Ring Coffin comes with an engraved brass plaque bearing a message which conveys your final thoughts about your marriage. Choose from one of our standard messages or create your own unique personal message.
Four metal handles which match the brass plaque provide the finishing touch. The split lid gives you the option for an open or closed casket.
Each coffin is tastefully packaged in a quality gift box.

Il Bastardo: Break Up or Divorce Wine Gift Basket
First to recommend
Description
Anything that comes loaded with carbs is already on my "great things" list- but even better, this gift basket also adds a bottle of “Il Bastardo” Sangiovese wine.
I'm thinking that would go nicely with the "Who Needs a Man" wine glasses offered by Lolita at http://www.lolitamartiniglasses.com/who-needs-a-man.html

I AM NOT YOUR DOORMAT

May not be taken in the spirit of which this gift would be given. Nonetheless, what Mom doesn't secretly think that perhaps she is treated like the proverbial doormat?

Lunch Mail Notecards
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
One of the hardest things about divorce is breaking up a family. So there is never too much you can do to remind your kids that they are loved. Here is a fantastic set of note packets in various themes to do just that.
"Each miniature "pop-open" card conceals a "secret message" of love, encouragement and self-esteem hidden inside. Tuck these colorful envelopes into pockets, overnight bags and lunch pails. When you child opens them they reveal little pearls of wisdom and support such as...
"I hope you know that I believe in you, and I will be there whenever you need me".
"A hug is a perfect gift. One size fits all".
"You make the world more wonderful, just by being in it!".
From the site:
The award-winning, Lunch Mail™ pocket cards enable you to send your children off to school with a piece of your love tucked inside their lunch, backpack or pocket. What a great feeling to discover an inspiring little greeting card from you!

Summer-themed Wine & Martini Glasses and Accessories

Description
I can almost feel the warm breezes now.... wait. No I can't. It's still fricking cold here. Sigh.
Still, it will heat up soon enough and these are a great way to celebrate on your own patio or give as a hostess gift or birthday present. Themes include Flip-flops, Bikinis, Palm Trees and Sex on the Beach and come various forms like wine glasses, wine stoppers, serving trays and martini glasses. Love 'em.
Check out the other summery designs as well....
