Let’s be honest, menopause sucks! Just as the kids might be a little older and more independent, maybe she has a bit more time for herself, maybe she’s killing at work and working her way up the ranks then boom… menopause hits. She might have brain fog suddenly making her forget appointments, hot flushes so bad she feels like she’s swimming at night and sleep deprivation that rivals a newborn!

A funny gift might be exactly what’s needed to brighten her day, but the wrong thing could feel dismissive and belittling. That’s why we’ve put together this Laughing Sisters guide to hilarious, useful and kind menopause gifts to make her feel seen and cared for, rather than mocked. The best gifts really land when they match what she’s actually dealing with, so we’ve put together menopause gifts to match her symptoms!

What Makes a Good Menopause Gift?

The best menopause gifts should feel supportive, not like a joke at her expense! A gift should match her personality, after all, she hasn’t lost everything that makes her fantastic, she might just feel like she’s under a cloud that she can’t shine through! If you can, choose a gift that’s both funny and useful, every little helps if brain fog is the issue; making her feel seen and understood is the ultimate goal. Bonus points if it eases a rough patch: heat, lack of sleep, stress, low mood or self-esteem, or brain fog to name a few!

What NOT to Buy Somebody Going Through Menopause

Stay away from anything too ‘medical’ unless she’s specifically asked for it: No supplements that cost a fortune and clutter up her cupboards or long boring books about the science of menopause she’s never going to read. Don’t think you’re funny by buying generic gifts making fun of the fact she’s ‘over the hill’ or ‘getting old’, they won’t land and they run the risk of making her feel worse. Also, avoid wasting your money on generic wellness tat without any personal thought or meaning. A gift should be for a reason. Show that you know her, love her and support her.

Is a Funny Menopause Gift Actually OK?

Yes! She’s menopausal, she hasn’t had a personality transplant. Just make sure it fits her sense of humour, and the jokes are with her not at her! Gifting is always a good way to cheer someone up, read more in our ‘Kind words and what to say’ blog.
