10 Menopause Gift Ideas

Menopause is a natural phase of life, but let’s face it — it’s a lot. Hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, and all the other changes can be overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating this journey yourself or looking to support someone who is, a well-chosen gift can make a world of difference. Below are 10 thoughtful menopause-friendly gift ideas that focus on self-care, pampering, and making this phase a bit easier.

1. Vella’s Menopause Sexcare Kit

Intimacy can often take a back seat thanks to menopause. Enter Vella’s Menopause Sexcare Kit, which combines two essential products — the Pleasure Serum and Intimate Elixir — that work together to enhance pleasure for your body as it evolves. Just like men, women can also face challenges with arousal as they age. Additionally, a decrease in estrogen during menopause might lead to vaginal dryness, making intimacy less comfortable or even painful. With Pleasure Serum to boost arousal and Intimate Elixir for hydrating relief, you’re in for a game-changing experience at any stage of menopause.

It’s a perfect way to help someone rediscover intimacy in a comfortable, empowering way — whether or not they’re in a relationship.

2. Silk pillowcases

Night sweats and insomnia can disrupt sleep like nothing else. A silk pillowcase is a practical yet luxurious gift to help with restoring sleep. Silk’s naturally cool, breathable texture reduces the discomfort of overheating and wicks away moisture to keep skin dry. Additionally, hair can become drier and more brittle in menopause. Silk’s smooth surface is gentle on hair, helping to minimize irritation or breakage caused by tossing and turning. It’s a thoughtful nod to their comfort (and sanity) during restless nights. Check out Quince for some beautiful color options or try Lunya and their washable silk pillowcase paired with their silk sleep mask.

3. Subscription to a meditation app

Hormonal changes can leave the mind feeling frazzled and the body tense. A subscription to a meditation or yoga app like Calm, Headspace, or Glo can provide tools for relaxation, mindfulness, and gentle movement. It’s a gift that encourages regular self-care and promotes balance.

4. Clitoral vibrator

Vaginal dryness and decreased sensitivity can make sexual intimacy more challenging during menopause. A clitoral vibrator is a thoughtful way to support sexual wellness by providing a comfortable and pleasurable alternative to penetration. This gift can help someone confidently explore their changing body and rediscover the joy of intimacy. Our top picks are the Next Clitoral Suction vibrator by Womanizer (though we are dying to try their new shower head too) and the Puff suction toy by Unbound — two options that pair really well with Vella’s Intimate Elixir. Or go for the gold with Vella’s Play Date Set. 

5. Self-care journal

Emotional ups and downs are part of the menopause package. A self-care journal with prompts for gratitude, reflection, and goal-setting can help healthily process those emotions. Journaling has been shown to reduce stress and improve emotional well-being, making it a perfect tool for navigating the ups and downs of this transitional phase. (Our favorite is Moon Lists, which offers some guidance to get you going.) Complete the gift with a high-end stationary set and a nice pen—we have our eyes on this little number from Hightide—to give the gift some extra flair.

6. Weighted blanket

Anxiety and restlessness can creep up during menopause, making relaxation a challenge. A weighted blanket can provide calming pressure that feels like a warm hug, promoting better sleep and reducing stress. Choose one in a lightweight option for year-round comfort.

7. Monthly flower subscription

Do they love fresh flowers? Brighten their days with a monthly flower subscription that delivers fresh blooms to their door. Flowers can uplift moods, beautify a space, and provide a small, consistent reminder that they’re loved and cared for. Many services offer customizable options to suit their taste and style. Check in with your local CSA or farmer’s market for options. (This watering pot would 

8. Pampering spa box

Curate or purchase a spa box packed with their favorite skin and body care products. Go for menopause-friendly options such as a cooling facial mist infused with ingredients like aloe vera or rosewater, and extra-nourishing retinol body lotion. We like to use Lemon Laine’s Build a Gift tool to create the perfect gift box. If you want to go all out, include a spa gift card so they can treat themselves to a massage, mani-pedi, or facial. 

9. Comfortable loungewear set

Comfort is queen during menopause, so a high-quality loungewear or pajama set can be a fabulous gift. Look for breathable fabrics like cotton or linen that help with temperature regulation. Plus, who doesn’t love an excuse to stay cozy at home? Add some monogramming to make it even more thoughtful. We like the vintage patterns and cuts of Domi’s pajama sets, and you can’t go wrong with the fabric technology in Negative Underwear’s Whipped collection.

10. A pack of boutique workout classes

Staying active during menopause is super important for taking care of your metabolic health, keeping your bones strong, and lifting your spirits. Why not surprise someone with a gift pack of fun boutique workout classes? It’s a great way for them to find new ways to enjoy moving their body. Look for low-impact options like yoga, Pilates, or barre that are gentle on the joints and won’t leave you in a puddle of sweat — hot flashes are enough to handle. To make the gift even more special, join them for the classes. Your company will make it an even more enjoyable experience. 

The best gifts are those that show you care. Whether it’s a practical solution for menopause symptoms or a little something to pamper and indulge, these ideas are sure to bring comfort and joy. Remember, menopause is better faced with kindness, laughter, and the occasional luxurious treat.
