How to build your divorce registry
A divorce registry works just like a wedding registry — except it's for the fresh start you actually need. Browse the items in this bundle, add what resonates to your registry, and share it with the people in your life who want to show up for you. Here's how:
- 1 Create your free registry — it takes two minutes and you can add items from anywhere on the internet, not just Fresh Starts.
- 2 Click the product links in this bundle and add the items that feel right for your situation. You don't have to add everything — your registry should reflect what you actually need.
- 3 Share your registry with friends and family. The people who love you want to do something concrete — this makes it easy for them. Not sure how to share it? We wrote the scripts for you →
- 4 Add a personal note to your registry — something as simple as "Thank you for supporting me through my fresh start." It sets the tone and gives givers the context they need.
Don’t feel like sending it out to anyone? That’s okay, too. At least everything you need will be in one handy place so you can click “buy now,” and get started on your Fresh Start ASAP! Don’t forget to check out the Resource Guide for the experts to support you on your journey, too.

Household Essential Items for Your Fresh Start Under $250!
Our basic premise for a Fresh Start journey is getting new items that are tactile and the items you literally touch every day. Remember, objects hold energy, so it’s in with the new, and out with the “thank you, but we’re moving on.”
Bedroom Essentials
Sheets: These basic sheets come in a huge variety of colors, and each set comes with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two 30 inch Standard pillowcases. They’re super budget friendly and are rated 4.6/5 stars; we suggest getting a print or color you’ve always wanted and can finally enjoy! ($20-$25)
Comfy Comforter: A Fresh Start means investing in your self-worth and there’s nothing that makes us feel more worthy than a cozy bed! This plush all-seasons duvet will turn any new bed into a hotel-like experience and the perfect place to cuddle up at the end of the day. It comes in a variety of colors and is rated 4.6/5 stars! (king size, $30)
Duvet Cover: While you’re at it, grab a duvet cover! This one has a zipper closure and comes with two pillow shams, as well. It comes in a variety of colors and is rated 4.5/5 stars. (king size, $35)
Alarm Clock: Yeah, we know practically everyone sleeps with their phone next to their bed, but part of a Fresh Start journey is taking time to unwind and clear your mind, which is why we always recommend having a real alarm clock! We love this highly rated modern looking wooden clock that displays much more than just the time! ($20)
Bathroom Essentials
Bath Towels: Towels can be tricky because you don’t want to spend a fortune on them, but you want soft towels! These towels are the ones we bought for our Fresh Start, and we love them because they take away the hassle of buying all different sizes, as the set includes 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, and 2 washcloths. Easy peasy! Get yourself a color you love. ($30)
Shower Curtain: A simple way to give a Fresh Start to your bathroom is by updating the shower curtain! We love this one which comes highly rated and in a variety of classic prints. ($13)
Toothbrush holder: Yep, you heard us right. Get yourself a new toothbrush holder because you deserve it. We like this toothbrush holder because it has enough room for you, or anyone else you invite into your life, and comes in a few colors. ($15)
Kitchen Essentials
Eating Utensils: We cannot understate the importance of buying new eating utensils! Whatever your Fresh Start is, you are worthy of having new utensils that will be there as you nourish yourself with amazing food! We like this 20 piece set, as it has a classic but modern style and would fit in any kitchen aesthetic. Plus, it’s highly rated and comes in fun colors! ($20)
Dish Towels: Get yourself some new dish towels! If you have to do the dishes, make sure you have fresh towels that you love. We like these cotton towels that come in a pack of 12 and many colors to choose from! ($20)
Dishware: Yes, you deserve new dishes! We always suggest a classic white ceramic dish set for 4 to begin with, you can always dress up the table in other ways, so go simple with the dishes. This set includes 4 each: 10.5-inch dinner plates, 7.5-inch salad/dessert plates, 5.5 x 2.75-inch bowls, and 4-inch-tall coffee/tea mugs. ($35)
And there you have it: a Fresh Start bundle for under $250! Yes, you can have your Fresh Start and not break the bank.
