By: Womaness Editors
We’re a women-founded brand aiming to give the gift of menopositivity to the world…so we thought: Who better to create a holiday gift guide for women in this phase of life than ourselves? The all-female staff of Womaness combined our powers to bring you a rundown of the items we’re giving to the ladies we admire—and the gifts we’re hoping to, ahem, score ourselves.
Cozychic® Horizon Blanket by Barefoot Dreams
$118.00
barefootdreams.com
“Barefoot Dreams holds a special place for me. I knew the creator, who passed away from cancer. She made these blankets to be a 'hug for people to wrap around them.' They're my favorite go-to gifts this year and pretty much every year!” – Kym Douglas, Chief Menopositivity Officer
Fluff Yeah Shearling Slingback by Ugg
Starting at $99.95
nordstrom.com
“Perhaps it’s because I live in the frigid Minnesota weather for seven months of the year…but who doesn’t love cozy items (especially in bold Womaness colors)?” – Sally Mueller, Co-Founder
Overnight Magic by Womaness
$21.99
womaness.com
“I am the Sahara Desert of dry skin, especially on my face. This is so delicious—it feels like a treat due to the well curated formula. I do not feel guilty using more than I need because the price is so affordable. (To be honest, I love it as a rich hand cream as well. Why not?!)” – Rachel Ivey, Creative Director
Sherpa Ivory Earmuffs by Ugg
$65.00

“The best holiday gifts are always the ones you also want for yourself! These are very chic and very, very warm.” - Ann Gobel, Community Concierge
Did I Say That Out Loud? By Kristin Van Ogtrop
$25.76
bookshop.org
“This book by the former editor of Real Simple is hilarious and perfect for where my friends are in their lives today (midlife!). I give it to those who’ve raised a family and juggled a crazy job at the same time. For new moms, I still offer up Kristin’s first book, Just Let Me Lie Down, as one of the best working-mom books I’ve ever read.” – Michelle Jacobs, Co-Founder
2022 Women Writers Calendar by Obvious State
$12.00
obviousstate.com

D28 Readers by Caddislife
$95.00

X Hoop Earrings by Mejuri
$195.00
mejuri.com
“My mother taught me to invest in pieces that never go out of style. A simple staple for any jewelry collection, these 14k gold earrings are a stunning and timeless way to tie together any outfit (plus they won’t oxidize or discolor). I love that the gold is 70% certified recycled as well as verified and traceable.” – Selina Eshraghi, Graphic Designer
Garden Length Discovery Box by High Camp

2020 Vintage Olive Oil Bottle by Rita Sodi
$25.00
viacarota.com
“Each November, chef Rita Sodi releases her family vintage olive oil. It is spicy and comes in the cutest little green can. It always sells out fast, so it is a covetable gift that is not expensive.” – Rachel Ivey, Creative Director
Ottolenghi: The Cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi

Coaster Kit by Block Shop & Fireclay Tile
$35.00

The Gift of Hydration by Womaness
$59.00 ($79 value)
womaness.com
“I married a Frenchman, so I know a thing or two about long-haul flights. I slather on these favorites before, during, and after a day of travel to combat the extra dryness of stuffy airplanes. I can’t wait to gift it to girlfriends; the nicely sized cosmetic bag is such a bonus.” – Amy Feezor, Content & Copy Director
Landon Carryall Bag by Dagne Dover
$110.00
dagnedover.com
“My mother is a badass woman—a total inspiration to me. She does tons to regulate her mental and physical health as she’s going through this phase of life, from spending time at the gym to taking weekend road trips with me. I’m giving her this multipurpose carryall, the perfect companion to both (I have a matching fanny pack to make it fun!)” – Selina Eshraghi, Graphic Designer
Oui Sweatshirt by Clare V.
