A new website has been set up to help people dispose of unwanted gifts from relationships that have gone bad.

Annabel Acton, 28, from New York, created neverlikeditanyway.com after her own romance fell apart days before Christmas, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Miss Acton, originally from Australia, had two tickets to London, as well as artwork and jewellery she did not want to wear anymore, so set up the website to sell it on.

“All this pathetic ‘Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all’ was sappy. I wanted something spunky,” Miss Acton told the New York Post.

“I wanted it to be irreverent like ‘Sex in the City,’ or like what would happen if Beyoncé got dumped, what would she do about it.

“They need to move on and not cry in a pile of tissues, eating ice cream.”

Items for sale include designer wedding dresses, wedding and engagement rings and even wedding packages from couples who didn’t make it to the altar.

Sellers list the ‘real world price’ and the bargain ‘break-up price’ and then blog about their reasons for selling the goods.
