Heartbreaks are inevitable and while there is no better remedy than time, as with any wound, it can be bandaged up with a few items; Love Hurts by Melanie Chernock, a graphic designer based in New York, is an emergency kit filled with some of these tried-and-true items. Concentrating on the small things, the kit boasts everything from [dark chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-romance-collection) and vodka to [bubble bath](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grace-stella3) and a mixed CD.

All contained neatly in a compact case that looks just like an [emergency medical kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/man-cold-relief-kit), Love Hurts by Melanie Chernock can be on hand for those moments that a person needs comfort. The cause for putting it into use doesn't even have to be a breakup, just a bad fight or even a bad day.
