My best friend and her boyfriend of 3 years broke up last night. she's having a hard time dealing, and needs some cheering up..... so, I thought I'd make her a "feel better" basket. I have this old easter basket with a stubby little handle that I am going to fill with all sorts of spirt lifting crafts/things/goodies.... any ideas on what I could put in the basket to cheer her up?

music is always good medicine for heartache..so you could make her a mix tape or burn her a cd of some songs that make relax her.

whip up a batch of bath salts with a soothing scent such as mint or chamomile,so she can have a long bath.

maybe make a few candles too,that she can light while in the bath or just use whenever she'd like.

pick up a poetry book,and copy down a few uplifting poems and tuck that inside the basket too.

i hope your friend "feels better" soon.

oh! and one more thing...throw in a package of her favorite candy too.that might be a sweet little addition.

just broke up with my own longtime boy - my best friend came over with a bunch of silly toys and craft projects - playdoh, make your own keychain kits...i was amazed at how much fun we had and i think it all came from the toy department at the drugstore. definitely a welcome distraction...

you should put a little journal in there so she can start writing down new goals and stuff. my friend's boyfriend just broke up with her recently. she was devastated, but it inspired and motivated her to go and finish her masters degree!
