My forthcoming book, The Cheating Ex Files: 101 Gifts for Your Unfaithful Ex-Partner, is based on more than a decade of diligent research. So where does all that hard work come from?
Every Christmas since 2016, I’ve been publishing a humorous list of 12 gifts for an unfaithful ex, with each year’s items more outrageous than the previous ones. The only year I failed to compile one was 2017 because of a shortage of cheating exes that year.
These sought-after objects come from all over the world, sourced from prime locations such as American yard sales, British charity shops, vide greniers in rural France and marketplaces in mainland China.
The book conveniently arranges these gift ideas by type. Chapters include: What a Dick, The Female Form, Edibles, Games, and Critters. However, the final chapter is the longest, comprising gifts that are totally uncategorizable. To find out more, take a look at the Table of Contents and read the Introduction.
The mantra of my first book, Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not, was that the best revenge is to get past the need for it. So, I’m writing these lists to make you laugh rather than to encourage you to have vengeance on your ex. After all, a lot of these gifts are one-of-a-kind and unavailable even if you did want to present them to your former beloved. Sorry about that!

Apologies in advance if you’re faint of heart, but this Christmas list is the one time of year that my blog is rude, crude and out of control. Happy holidays!
