An Airbnb Host Left Her Heartbroken Guest A “Welcome Gift” And The Internet Has Thoughts

Her boyfriend dumped her right before their romantic getaway. Her host’s response got 69,913 likes and started a whole conversation about what being a “girls girl” really means.

So here’s the setup: a woman named Lauren books a romantic Airbnb stay with her boyfriend. Before the trip happens, the boyfriend doesn’t. He ends it, and she messages the host to say she’ll be coming alone.

When she arrives, this is what’s waiting on the kitchen island.

1. Yes, that note says what you think it says.

“So sorry about the breakup. Hope these make the stay better (all brand new never used)”The host’s handwritten note. The parenthetical is doing a LOT of work.

And no, those are not squeeze toys, stress balls, or wine stoppers, even though roughly half the comment section genuinely could not tell. The raspberry, avocado, and lemon are intimate wellness devices from Nancy, which is exactly why they can sit in the open on a granite countertop and read as totally innocent.

2. Then the host’s DM took it to another level.

When Lauren thanked her for the, um, hospitality, the host’s reply was so casually unhinged it became the main character of the whole story:

Airbnb message from host Christi saying the gifts are from Nancy, her favorite companions since her divorce, and that the chargers are in the night stand

“They’re from Nancy and by far my favorite ‘companions’ since my divorce (bastard cheated). Enjoy your stay!” And then, the single greatest P.S. in hospitality history: “P.S. the chargers are in the night stand.”

3. The comments were a whole event.

One repost from the meme account Lolita (a brand partnership, tagged #NancyPartner) pulled 69,913 likes and 324 comments, and the people were NOT neutral:

@lithiumdrain
THATS what I call a girls girl
@lololerica
she’ll be getting 5 stars
🤔
@coco.claire75
I don’t even know what those things are lol😇
👀
@majaaa.237
Why is nobody talking about the fact they’re fruit shaped
😐
@lookylookything (the dissent)
No that’s absolutely overstepping

Or just watch it happen live (the like count has kept climbing since we published):

4. So what ARE the fruits, actually?

The lemon is Lem, Nancy’s best-known device and the reason the brand blew up: air-pulse suction, 10 intensities, and a frankly absurd 17,299 verified reviews sitting at 4.8 stars. The avocado is Avo: same idea, stronger motor, the one people buy second. The raspberry is Berri: gentle rhythmic tapping instead of suction, for people who find the other two too intense.

5. And honestly? The reviews sound exactly like the comment section.

“Absolutely amazing… When im stressed I just go to my room and make some lemonade, I won’t lie i haven’t tried the avocado yet as the lemon is so good but I suppose it’s time to make some guacamole too”
🥳
Julia P. · Verified buyer
“Wowza!! Didn’t expect either of these toys to do much really but was I mistaken! Lemon and avocado work equally well for this incredibly pleased 68 yr old woman.”

“Mind blowing! Was skeptical at first because toys normally don’t phase me but decided to give it a go… this was on another level. They are cute, discreet, and almost silent…”

Whether the host was overstepping or a certified girls girl is between you and your group chat. But if the photo sent you zooming in like the rest of the internet, now you know exactly where to start.

P.S. Everything here is only sold on the official site, and availability has been uneven since the post took off, so if it’s in stock when you read this, that’s not guaranteed to last.
