Here are 15 revolutionary Christmas gifts to help your heartbroken friend move on:

1. F*ckboy Repellent Eyeshadow Palette

Not only will she get a laugh out the name of this palette, she’ll actually use it to amplify her post-f*ckboy glow. Yes, that’s the thing — just look at Kourtney Kardashian. This palette from Bee-Q-Box is the epitome of “prospering.” Average makeup doesn’t cut it when you’re trying to get your groove back. Give her life in makeup form.

2. Cheeky Lift Underwear

After weeks of cooped up in the house in your jammies, it’s normal to feel less than sexy post-breakup. This lingerie is for the girl that wants to show her ex what he’s missing while feeling good about herself again! DEFY Lingerie’s “Cheekies” technically aren’t panties. They’re shapewear pieces that double as fetish-inspired lingerie. They actually accentuate your hips and butt at the same damn time. It’s a subtle way to remind her of how hot she is.

The liquid matte formula from The Lip Bar is the holiday show-stopper that’ll make her forget why she was even crying. Boy Trouble is another reminder of how sexy she was before and after “what’s-his-name” existed.
