"When a friend goes through a breakup, you&amp;amp;#8217;ll spend time chatting with her on the phone, taking her out to nice lunches and hanging out on the couch bashing the jerky ex while handing her tissues. But when a friend lives miles away, it&amp;amp;#8217;s not so easy to let her know she&amp;amp;#8217;s in your thoughts. Until now.A company in New York has come up with a funny take on gift baskets: Bummer Baskets. These mail-order gift baskets are available for a few different down-on-your-luck occasions (losing a job, bed bug infestation!), including breakups! To cheer up a heartbroken friend, the Break-Up Basket includes all sorts of pick-me-ups like homemade brownies, a custom hand-written note, a fun temporary tattoo and a conversation heart cookie with cheeky sayings like &amp;amp;#8220;Lose my number.&amp;amp;#8221; (Psst! The &amp;amp;#8220;cigarettes&amp;amp;#8221; are those old-school candies.) And if a friend&amp;amp;#8217;s breakup wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t totally devastating, Bummer Baskets offers the Not So Bad Break-Up Basket, sort of like a greatest hits version of the larger option. I&amp;amp;#8217;m a huge fan of gift baskets (especially ones that involve cheese and smoked meats!) and if you don&amp;amp;#8217;t have time to put one together yourself, these would be a thoughtful way to give a heartbroken gal pal a giggle or two. What do you think of the Break-Up Baskets? Would you ever send one? And what sweet things have your friends done to help you get through breakups?
