Recently dumped? ‘Heartbreak Hamper’ Fills Valentine’s Day Void
Quirky Gift Retailer Launches Hilarious Survival Kit for the Newly Fingle
Valentine’s Day is often a cringeworthy affair for the single community, but for the newly single it can be downright depressing. Which is why Yellow Octopus today releases the ‘Heartbreak Hamper’ - a box full of goodies aimed to cheer you up and get you through the veritable breakup firestorm that is Valentine’s Day.
Like most hampers it comes in a nice box, but that is where the similarities end. This is no sugar coated cashew nut and quince paste commodity. The Heartbreak Hamper is a professionally designed breakup survival kit. It includes scientifically proven breakup antidotes and pragmatic emergency necessities, not gourmet nibbles and shower gel.
Retailing for $49.99, the Heartbreak Hamper includes a bottle of Pour Decisions Chardonnay, a single wine glass, a bar of Bellaberry 'Emotional Rescue' Chocolate, Premium 2-Ply Cry Tissues from Kleenex, A Sensational Inflatables – Instant Date (Boyfriend or Girlfriend) and your choice of either a Lifesaver Vibrator for the girls or a Weener Kleener soap for the boys.
This tongue-in-cheek hamper released in time for Valentine’s Day is aimed at friends of recent 'dumpees' looking to cheer up their mates on what can ordinarily be a tough day for the newly single.
The ‘Heartbreak Hamper’ will be the first in a line of novelty hampers to be released by quirky gifts and gadgets retailer Yellow Octopus.
“Most hampers are pretty predictable, and we’re looking to mix things up a bit. Create some hampers for those unexpected moments and bring a sense of humour to a traditionally stilted space," Says Founder Derek Sheen
Come February 14th, don your dressing gown, warm up your Netflix account and have your ‘Heartbreak Hamper’ at the ready. It's time to take on Valentine's Day.

Press Release: Prank Loved Ones This Christmas with Coal Disguised as Designer Jewellery
Christmas is a time to be festive, and what’s more festive and hilarious than a good old fashioned prank?
This year, the crazy cats over at Yellow Octopus are encouraging some serious Christmas trolling with the release of Joque Cóal: lumps of coal presented in high-end gift boxes, made to look like European designer jewellery.
Available in two sizes – the larger ‘Think You’re Getting An Expensive Watch But it’s Just Coal LOL’ and the small ‘Here Hunny, This May Look Like A Ring But It’s Just Coal LOL’ - so you can stich up your loved ones good and proper.
These timeless, original, pieces are now available to purchase in trick gift boxes so you can prank friends and family on Christmas day. For just $19.99, Joque Coal is also a perfect and hilarious Kris Kringle Gift.
“Everyone takes Christmas so seriously these days. We wanted to lighten things up a bit. Everyone is in high spirits at Christmas, so it’s a perfect time to pull off a prank without seriously upsetting people”, Says Yellow Octopus founder, Derek Sheen.
“Giving naughty children coal at Christmas time is as old as Christmas itself, but what about adults? It’s time for the ultimate stitch up” Says Sheen.
Each piece of coal is impeccably packaged in a high quality gift box with silver embossing and a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing the coal adheres to the highest standards of uselessness.
The company is encouraging pranksters to share their coal prank videos through the hashtag #PrankCoal to spread the hilarity.
The numbers of this exclusive gag gift are strictly limited.
