Debenhams offers divorce gift lists

A chain of high-street shops in Britain yesterday launched a divorce gift list service amid a surge of married couples saying "I don't" after the festive season. In a twist on the popular wedding list, Debenhams came up with a new list to help divorcees stock up after leaving their ex-partner's home. "Divorcing can be an expensive time and registering for a divorce gift list means that family and friends can help the newly separated begin their new life," said Peter Moore, head of retail services. It is the latest present for married couples heading towards a festive breakup after law firm Lloyd Platt & Company started offering divorce gift vouchers in the run-up to Christmas.
