There are certain things a girl must say to her broken-hearted best friend when she's going through a nasty breakup. "You deserve so much better", "He's a fool for letting you go" and "Here, have some chocolate and a tissue" all make the list of comforting lines.
But the idea of handing them a pretty hankie instead of a crumpled tissue, printed with an encouraging message, holds some appeal. What girl wouldn't raise a smile at seeing a hankie with a tiger print and the message "He's not that hot anyway"? Or, for a couple of weeks after the event, one that says "Fix your Mascara (You're amazing)" or "Go and Buy Some Shoes"?
If you're looking to cheer up a friend, consider buying one of these handkerchiefs, filling it with sweeties, and tying it together with pretty ribbon.
These hankies are from Moi Self, and they're priced at £10 each from MyWardrobe.
