I gave a friend of mine a set of knifes when her divorce to a VERY abusive man was final! He had stabbed her with one from her set. Then the Bas--turd took the set when he left.
I had a very unkind suggestion carved into the knife block in case he was ever to come back too!
Depending upon the situation. I say, maybe you shouldn't present it as a divorce present, but maybe as a liberation present, or a pick me up present. If your friend has been suffering through out the marriage and is elated to be free of their significant other, then perhaps there is a reason to celebrate. On the otherhand, if your friend is very distraught by this situation, and having a very hard time dealing with it, a present should be presented as a "pick me up". Perhaps a night out, or something to help them de-stress. Like I said, I don't know the situation. But either way, something nice never hurts!
I think the furthes I'd feel comfortable with going was maybe a letter expressing aapreciation for the good times there must have been. But a present, no. Or would you want to hand one over every year after that on the date the divorce came through?
Depending on how happy the person is to be getting divorced. If you have a really rotten marriage then it may very well be a cause to celebrate. I gave one of my girlfriends a divorce present. My cousin asked her daughter what she wanted for Christmas and she said "a divorce" and my cuz said "ok, I'll pay for it".
why not. when you figure there are more divorces in this country than marriages. I think it's a 60% divorce ratio now. People should stop buying wedding presents and start buying divorce presents since it's so popular now.
Well, I don't think a present is necessary unless it's a gift card for a massage or a gift card to get something for themself. I think what would be nice to just get their mind off the stress is to hang out with friends maybe go out to eat or to a movie or even a museum. Something that you know your friend would appreciate.
Appropriate, well, hell yeah. I gave my ex the car, the furniture, the house and 75% of my income for the next 50 years. That's a good present ain't it?

Yes a free pass to anything
Yes,something whimsical,such as a glove,a sock,a candlestick,bookend,etc.Or half a cake/pizza,for the party!
A dinner and a movie is always a great idea.
