Having just celebrated a belated Christmas with my family, I’m “ok” to revisit some UK holiday gift ideas. 
Not sure what to get your friend or family member who is contemplating divorce? The UK firm of Lloyd Platt & Company offered divorce advice vouchers for sale prior to Christmas. The firm, which typically charges almost $530 (US) per hour offered 30-minute vouchers at a discount: about $200 (US). As of the December 17, 2009 story by Reuters, they’d sold about 60. Founder Vanessa Lloyd Platt’s explanation? Christmas tends to be a particularly stressful time for families, with a huge rise in people seeking advice each January.
And, if you happen to know someone who initiated proceedings in the UK and you aren’t sure how to acknowledge the occasion, then see what the department store Debenhams has to offer. Yahoo news has the scoop on Debenhams gift list here. I wonder if they’ll let you register online…
