Debenhams offers divorce gift list
The high street retailer Debenhams launched a new product line referred to as the first ‘divorce gift list’ in the UK for couples that plan on celebrating their impending divorce.
The service which started today follows the trend of recent congratulation greeting cards and parties for those who have been granted a divorce popularized by celebrities such as Heather Mills and Jordan.
While it may not seem that divorce should be a cause for celebration, it is possible that with divorce on the rise it could become the new equivalent for the more conventional wedding list.
This is due to the fact that now it is very common for couples to live together before marriage, which means they tend to already have the basic goods that wedding lists were created to provide.
On the other hand, divorce forces partners to split their marital possessions or for one partner to leave the home entirely which means they now have to fill a new house will all of the basics.
High on the list for divorcee gifts are expected to be items such as computer games, plasma screen TVs, and non-iron shirts to help them on their way to recovery and get reacquainted with the single life.
Commonly across the UK the first day after Christmas holiday is thought to be the main time that couples decide to leave each other, which is also the period when the largest amount of divorce petitions are filed.
Head of Retail Services for Debenhams, Peter Moore, stated that divorce is a costly time for most people and registering for a Divorce Gift List gives family and friends a chance to help out the new divorcee.
