Our Favorite Fertility Gifts This Holiday Season

As much joy as the holiday season never fails to bring, it is often simultaneously stressful. It takes a lot out of you: emotionally, mentally, and financially. For those trying to grow their families, it can be especially hard to dodge well-meaning, but difficult questions, triggering events and, of course, the constant “what ifs” that come up as we celebrate, commune, and reflect on the past year. And, it can be extremely difficult to figure out what to ask for or get for someone you love when you know that no throw blanket or book can ever replace their family-building dreams.

Knowing gift giving (or asking for gifts) can be so hard when you’re thinking about building your family, our team of experts has compiled a list of our favorite fertility gifts to get you started. These items are perfect to either allow your loved ones to help support you where you’re at, or show support to those you care about.

The best fertility gifts to show you care

Gift giving feels different when fertility is part of the conversation. It can bring up second guessing, overthinking, and the fear of saying the wrong thing. But the truth is, thoughtful fertility gifts can be both practical and deeply emotional. They can help someone feel cared for in a season that can be full of questions and quiet heartbreak. From comfort items to wellness tools, this list covers a wide mix so you can show up with something meaningful, whether your loved one’s doing IVF, trying at home, navigating loss, or taking a breather.

1. Cozy at-home rest kit

A curated little rest kit can go a long way when someone is carrying the mental load of fertility. Think a plush pair of socks, a soft sleep mask, and a calming herbal tea that helps them unwind after long days of thinking, planning, and hoping. It feels nurturing without being too on the nose, and it reminds them they deserve gentleness every single day.

2. Thoughtful check-in journal

Giving someone a simple guided journal that encourages small daily reflections can help them reconnect with themselves when everything feels overwhelming. It doesn't need to be about fertility at all. A few prompts, plenty of blank space, and the permission to write or not write can give them a place to land emotionally. We love the Intelligent Change Five Minute Journal for quick mindfulness that doesn’t have to take hours.

3. Comfort food gift box

A box filled with their favorite indulgent snacks or nostalgic treats lets them feel cared for in a way that's both grounding and joyful. Holidays and fertility challenges can take a toll on appetite and mood, so something familiar, comforting, and delicious lets them feel a little more held through it all.

Fertility gifts for women going through treatment

Cycles, appointments, hormones, early mornings, and long waits can take so much out of you. Gifts in this category are all about feeling held, cared for, and physically supported. Think cozy recovery helpers, items that bring relief during medication side effects, and things that make long clinic days easier to get through. These are gifts that say, “I know this is a lot, and I’m right here with you.”

4. Recovery-friendly loungewear set

Soft, breathable loungewear that’s easy to slip on after bloodwork, scans, or injections can make a real difference during treatment. A gentle fabric that doesn’t cling or irritate is a quiet comfort on days when their body feels extra sensitive. Our favorite is this bamboo set (comfy and breathable!).

5. Warm therapy pillow

A microwavable heat pillow shaped to rest easily on the abdomen can be a calming companion during cramping or bloating. It gives a soothing kind of warmth that helps them physically relax while they rest on the sofa or settle into bed after a long day of appointments. Our pick? This one, by SaksyThyme, which you can get scented or unscented.

6. Hydration-focused water bottle

Staying hydrated during treatment can support energy, digestion, and overall comfort, so a high-quality water bottle with a built-in straw or time markers can feel surprisingly encouraging. It turns hydration into something simple and doable on days when focus is tough. We love this glass water bottle (no BPAs here) that comes in a range of colors, so you can pick your bestie’s favorite.

Best fertility gifts for couples on their TTC journey

Trying to conceive can sometimes feel like it swallows the couple dynamic whole. Gifts for partners are all about bringing a sense of togetherness back. Maybe it’s something they can use to unwind as a team. Maybe it supports them in tracking things more clearly. Maybe it brings back connection during a time when scheduling sex can feel anything but romantic. These gifts help both partners feel included, supported, and like they’re in this together, because they are.

7. Stay-in date night kit

Sometimes TTC makes everything feel scheduled. A cozy date night kit with popcorn, a new game, and a couple of quirky conversation cards helps couples reconnect in ways that aren’t tied to ovulation or timing. It’s a gift that says, “Your relationship matters too.”

8. Memory-making instant camera

An instant camera helps them capture moments unrelated to TTC, reminding them of who they are outside the stress of cycles and calendars. It’s a simple way to reintroduce fun into a journey that can sometimes feel heavy. This FUJIFILM Instax Mini 12 comes in some super-cute colors, just the right size to fit into a mid-size purse.

9. Couples’ conversation game

A fun couples’ card game sparks laughter and deeper connection during moments when everything feels heavy. It helps them talk about things unrelated to fertility and rediscover emotional closeness. There are a few to choose from, but we love {THE AND} Couples Edition, which you can get for $29.99.

IVF gift ideas that actually help

IVF has its own rhythm, rules, and emotional climate. It asks a lot from your body and your brain. Useful IVF gifts help with the practical stuff, like managing injections and organizing medications, or with the emotional side of riding out the two-week wait. They meet someone where they are, without making promises or putting pressure on outcomes.

10. MyVitro Essential IVF Support Kit Plus

Managing IVF or egg freezing meds at home is no small task, and MyVitro was created to make this part of the journey a whole lot easier. Their kit comes with a customizable Fertility Caddy, a shot station that stops meds from rolling everywhere, a travel case, a fridge box for anything that needs chilling, a hot and cold pack for soreness, TTC bandages, an injection trainer, and even affirmation cards for the days you need a boost. The MyVitro Kit can't take the shots for your friend, but it can help them stay organized and feel more in control, for $179.

11. Soft blanket for transfer day

A lightweight, comforting blanket just for transfer day adds a sense of ritual to a moment that carries a lot of hope. Many people end up reusing it throughout the two-week wait as a source of comfort and familiarity. Simple, but practical, and perfect for your IVF bestie. We love this one by Madison Park for $42.99.

12. Chilled gel seat cushion

After retrieval or long clinic waits, a supportive seat cushion can make sitting more comfortable. The cool gel layer eases pressure on sensitive areas, making commutes, work days, and waiting rooms a little easier to get through. Some gel cushions can be bulky, so we recommend this one by ComfiLife for portability.

Thoughtful fertility gift ideas for a friend

Sometimes your friend is going through fertility challenges quietly. Sometimes they’re open. Sometimes you want to show support without stepping into territory they haven’t invited you into. These gifts strike that perfect balance: thoughtful, gentle, and supportive. They don’t require your friend to explain where they’re at, but they make sure they feel seen. Whether they’re early in their journey, deep in treatment, or taking a much-needed break, these gifts meet them with care.

13. Modern Fertility Hormone Test

We deserve to understand our bodies long before fertility becomes a question, and the Modern Fertility Hormone Test makes that knowledge feel accessible instead of overwhelming. It measures seven key hormones to give a clear picture of your reproductive health, including ovarian reserve and thyroid levels that can influence everything from mood to ovulation. It also highlights any potential red flags you may want to discuss with your doctor. The Modern Fertility test ($179) is especially helpful for anyone considering egg freezing or IVF, since it offers insight into how many eggs a doctor might expect to retrieve.

14. Nature-inspired art print

A gentle print that brings a sense of peace, like a botanical illustration or a soothing landscape, can brighten their space without referencing fertility directly. Small reminders of beauty can help lift the emotional weight of the journey.

15. Feel-good novel that’s not about parenting

A heartwarming novel gives them a mental escape from the constant cycle of thinking, planning, and hoping. Something light or uplifting helps them breathe a little easier. Not sure where to start? Here are our top picks for the new year.

Fertility gifts for when you're not sure what they need

There’s no one perfect fertility gift, and that’s okay. If you’re unsure what someone is comfortable receiving, stick with gifts that create space rather than pressure. Think flexible treats like gift cards, soothing self-care items, or experiences that help them unplug. These allow the person to choose what they need, when they need it, not when a gift forces them to think about their fertility journey. Sometimes the safest gift is simply offering comfort without asking anything of them.

16. Digital bookstore gift card

A book credit gives them the freedom to choose something that feels good for them, whether it’s fiction, wellness, humor, or something else entirely. It gives support without steering their experience. It also shows that you trust them to decide what they need most in that moment, which can feel incredibly empowering during a time when so much feels out of their control. Plus, it arrives instantly, making it a thoughtful gift even if you're short on time.

17. High-quality sleep spray

A gentle lavender or chamomile pillow spray supports rest without hinting at fertility. Sleep can be elusive during stressful periods, and this is a subtle way to help them feel calmer at night. The soothing scent becomes a tiny ritual they can rely on when their mind is racing, helping them unwind without any added pressure. It’s a gift that brings comfort quietly, which is sometimes exactly what someone needs. This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray is a cult classic for a reason.

18. Travel mug

A glass travel mug is the perfect companion for the walks that help them clear their head, without BPAs or other things that may impact fertility. It keeps tea or warm lemon water cozy while they get fresh air, and it feels grounding to hold something sturdy and beautifully made as they move. Taking it outside turns a simple drink into a calming ritual that travels with them, offering a little comfort on mornings when they need space, quiet, or a moment just for themselves. We love this one by Tupkee; double-insulated to keep hot drinks hot.

Gift ideas for someone struggling with fertility

These gifts validate without minimizing, comfort without toxic positivity, and acknowledge the weight of what someone is going through. The goal isn’t to fix it. It’s to give them soft places to land: tools for processing emotions, items that bring physical ease, and gentle reminders that they’re not alone.

19. Massage pillow

A massage pillow offers instant relief on days when stress sits heavily in the shoulders or lower back. It brings that warm, kneading pressure that helps muscles soften and lets the body release tension it’s been carrying for far too long. It’s an easy way for them to get a moment of relaxation without booking an appointment or leaving the house, which can feel like a gift in itself during emotionally draining seasons. This one makes the top of our list; your friend can just lie back and relax as the pillow kneads and melts away their tension.

20. Sleep-friendly eye mask with built-in headphones

This headband lets them listen to calming music or sleep stories comfortably in bed. It’s a game-changer for anyone whose mind gets loud the moment their head hits the pillow. The fabric sits gently around the head without digging in, so they can listen to calming sounds, meditation tracks, or sleep stories while lying comfortably on their side. It makes winding down feel easier on nights when rest feels out of reach and gives them a soothing way to drift off without juggling earbuds or tangled wires. It’s comfort, calm, and practicality all rolled into one. Our favorite is this breathable eye mask with bluetooth headphones for a relaxing night’s sleep ($39.99).

21. Warm weighted shoulder wrap

A weighted wrap that settles softly around the neck can help ease tension that builds up during months or years of worry. It’s grounding without being overwhelming, and it gives the body a little comfort on days when emotions run high. The gentle weight can make them feel steadier, especially during anxious moments or after difficult appointments. It’s one of those small gifts that makes an unexpectedly big difference in how supported they feel. This one by Comfytemp comes with 9 heat settings and is FSA eligible, too.

Practical fertility gifts that make the journey easier

These gifts help with the logistics, the part of fertility no one talks about, but everyone deals with. Appointments, schedules, meds, tracking, and staying organized can become their full-time side hustle. Practical gifts lighten some of that load and give people tools to feel a little more in control during a time when so much feels unpredictable.

22. Branch Basics Premium Starter Kit

The other side of holiday hosting is the never-ending cleaning, and most of us don’t realize how many chemicals we come into contact with in the process. Many everyday products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can affect hormones, skin, and overall well-being. Branch Basics offers a cleaner, safer alternative with an all-purpose concentrate that replaces everything from bathroom spray to laundry detergent. Their starter kit makes up to 12 bottles of cleaner and 64 loads of laundry, giving you a healthier home without extra effort, for $75.

23. Evvy Vaginal Health Test

Your vaginal microbiome is working hard for you every single day, protecting against infections, supporting fertility, and even helping defend your overall health, yet most of us have no idea what’s actually going on down there. Evvy’s at-home test makes it easy to understand your unique bacterial makeup and what it means for your well-being. The Evvy Vaginal Health Test ($129) gives clear insights and next steps you can actually use, making it a powerful, eye-opening gift for anyone who wants to feel more in control of their health.

24. Everlywell At-Home Women’s Health Test

The Everlywell Women’s Health Test ($249) offers a deep look at your hormonal and thyroid picture by measuring 11 biomarkers tied to energy, mood, cycles, and overall wellness. It checks everything from estrogen and progesterone to cortisol, thyroid hormones, and thyroid antibodies, giving you a clear sense of what may be affecting how you feel day to day. The best part is that the results come with straightforward insights you can actually use as you plan next steps for your health, whether you’re trying to understand symptoms, prep for pregnancy someday, or simply get more clarity about your body.

Self-care fertility gifts for mind and body

Fertility journeys aren’t just medical; they’re mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual all at once. Self-care gifts in this category support the whole person, not just the part trying to get pregnant. These gifts soothe, strengthen, relax, and reconnect. They help someone find even a few minutes of calm in a process that often feels chaotic.

25. InCircle (In)Fertility Cards of Affirmation

Remember all those times you didn’t know what to say to your loved one while still wanting to give them the support they deserve? Enter: InCircle’s (In)Fertility Cards of Affirmation ($34). This deck of 42 unique cards can give comfort and support to anyone at any point on the road to parenthood. The designs themselves were created by Glitter Enthusiast, a talented artist and fellow infertility warrior, who uses sterile IVF needles to design each one. They’re our go-to gift for our friends (and ourselves) who need love and support along their path.

26. Hope Candles by TinyMiracleMamas

Who doesn’t love candles, especially during the holidays? But it can be hard to find brands and scents that don’t contain harmful fragrances. Luckily, we found Hope Candles by TinyMiracleMamas, a fellow infertility warrior, who uses only fertility-friendly essential oils to create her captivating scents. They’re both a great gift for someone you care about, or just for yourself, as you’re looking for ways to make your home feel special and support others struggling to grow their families. And even better? A portion of the proceeds goes to infertility non-profits like the Bundle of Joy Fund.

27. Headspace meditation app

The holidays can feel especially heavy when you're trying to conceive, and having a place to go for calm makes a real difference. The Headspace app offers guided meditations, grounding exercises, and supportive conversations created to help you steady your mind during the ups, downs, and in-between moments of the fertility journey. Their dedicated fertility content gives you tools to ease anxious thoughts, soften emotional spirals, and reconnect with your body when everything feels disconnected. With coaching options and a library of peaceful practices you can tap into anytime, the Headspace app is a thoughtful gift for anyone who needs support they can turn to whenever the moment calls. You can gift a one-year subscription to them here.

Fertility gifts within budget

Fertility support shouldn’t require a huge budget. This section helps you find gifts at every price point, so you can show up with something meaningful whether you want to splurge or stay under $10. Each item is chosen to be both useful and emotionally thoughtful, no matter the cost.

Fertility gifts under $100

28. needed Prenatal Multi Capsules

needed’s Prenatal Multi Capsules (from $62.99) are a thoughtful option for anyone preparing for pregnancy or already on their journey, since the quality and balance of vitamins can vary so much between brands. This formula includes 24 evidence-based nutrients that support everything from metabolism and sleep to immune health and bone development. It’s designed to be used before, during, and after pregnancy, making it a steady, reliable companion through every stage.

29. Plush robe for slow mornings

A soft robe wraps them in comfort on days when they need to take things slowly, whether they’re recovering from a procedure or just feeling emotionally drained. It’s practical, nurturing, and something they’ll reach for again and again. Having something cozy to slip into can make even the hardest mornings feel a little kinder. It also creates a small ritual of care that reminds them they don’t have to rush through everything. We’re pretty obsessed with this plush robe by Dowesrobe ($59.99), which comes in a few different colors, with a hood for when your bestie wants to be completely covered.

30. Sunrise alarm clock

A gentle wake-up light, like this one by Dreamegg ($99.99), helps regulate energy and mood in a way that feels kinder than a blaring phone alarm. It’s perfect for anyone navigating disrupted sleep or long clinic mornings. It eases them into the day with soft light instead of stress, which can make early mornings feel a little more manageable. It’s a small upgrade that supports their nervous system when life already feels overwhelming.

Fertility gifts under $50

31. Bird&Be Female Fertility Power Prenatal Pack

If you're looking for a supplement that truly supports egg health, Bird&Be’s Power Prenatal is hard to beat. It delivers a full 600 mg of CoQ10 along with antioxidants, DHA, folate, choline, and other nutrients chosen by fertility doctors to help nurture egg quality and overall reproductive wellness. A 2025 study for Frontiers in Cell and Development Biology found that taking 600 mg of CoQ10 daily improved IVF outcomes, increased egg numbers for those with low ovarian reserve, and boosted ovulation and pregnancy rates for people with PCOS. The Bird&Be Power Prenatal Pack brings everything together in one easy routine, making it a powerful option for anyone wanting to support their body during preconception. $70.20 per month.

32. Proov Predict & Confirm™ Kit

For those in your life who you know are trying to conceive at home, sometimes you need a bit more clarity than we get from a typical ovulation predictor kit. That’s because understanding ovulation is so much more than waiting for the right “window” to come. It’s also important to know that your body actually ovulated during that time (which doesn’t always happen!). Proov knows that it’s not enough to predict your fertile window, since everybody is unique. You need to confirm your ovulation to truly understand your reproductive health and maximize your fertility.

As the only FDA-cleared PdG test, Proov’s Predict and Confirm Kit ($39) identifies your most fertile window through their LH test and then follows that up with PdG testing to understand ovulation quality. Clinical studies have, since the 70s, proven that elevated PdG on specific days after suspected ovulation (during the implantation window) is associated with a 92% chance of successful pregnancy, compared to only a 19% chance in those with lower PdG levels. We’re huge fans of understanding our bodies, and Proov has the winning formula for ovulation, and hopefully, it can make a difference to someone you love as well.

33. myMindBodyBaby Egg Quality Formula, 4-Week Fertility Program

The myMindBodyBaby Egg Quality Formula is a 4-week nutrition program designed to support reproductive health through simple, fertility-focused meals. Created by a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, it includes a nutrition guide, meal plans, and grocery lists that make it easier to eat in a way that supports egg quality without adding more stress to your routine. The program also explains the key factors that influence egg health and offers approachable steps you can take at home.

Fertility gifts under $30

34. Cure Hydration Ginger Tumeric Hydrating Electrolyte Mix

Cure Hydration’s Ginger Turmeric Electrolyte Mix is a great way to make staying hydrated feel less like a chore and more like a treat, especially when everyone else is sipping something festive. It’s made with plant-based ingredients and follows the World Health Organization’s ORS formula, which means it hydrates far more effectively than plain water without added sugar. The bright, warming flavor adds a little joy to daily hydration and can help support overall wellness during TTC or pregnancy. The Ginger Turmeric mix is a thoughtful, feel-good gift for anyone who could use a boost. 14 pack, $22.99.

35. Set of fluffy socks

Comfortable, plush socks wrap their feet in warmth during evenings when they need comfort more than anything else. They’re small but unbelievably nurturing. Slipping them on feels like a tiny act of self-care that can make even the hardest day feel softer. They also turn ordinary moments at home into something a little cozier, which is sometimes exactly what someone needs. We love this pack of 5 by SISOSOCK ($28.99); super-fuzzy, super-cozy, perfect.

36. Pillar Plus 7-Day Pill Organizer

The Pillar Plus 7 Day Pill Organizer ($14.99) is one of those small upgrades that makes everyday care feel calmer and more intentional. It’s roomy enough for supplements, meds, or prenatals, yet still compact enough to toss in a bag for clinic days or weekends away. The BPA-free wheat straw design is not only eco-friendly but also sturdy, pretty, and easy to open, which is a real gift if you deal with joint pain or complicated lids. Each compartment has plenty of space and a clear day label, so you don’t have to second-guess whether you’ve taken your vitamins. It comes in soft, soothing colors and is made with recycled materials, making it a stylish and sustainable way to keep your routine on track.

Fertility gifts under $10

Small budgets can still hold big comfort. Think of grounding rituals like herbal teas, soothing bath salts, or cozy socks for recovery days. You can also gift a simple handwritten note paired with something small and thoughtful. These tiny gestures matter more than you think when someone’s carrying a lot that can’t be seen.

37. Bath salts

Minera’s Dead Sea Bath Salts ($9.99) turn an ordinary soak into a moment of real relief, which can mean everything when you’re stressed, sore, or simply worn out. The fine-grain salt dissolves quickly and is packed with natural minerals that help soften skin and ease tension without overwhelming scents or additives. A handful in warm water creates a spa-like soak that helps your body unwind and your mind quiet down after a long day. It’s a simple, grounding way to care for yourself that feels both nourishing and restorative.

38. Set of bookmarks

Bookmarks make a surprisingly lovely gift for someone who’s going through a lot, because they turn reading into a gentler, more mindful ritual. Whether they’re diving into fiction to escape for a while or flipping through something comforting before bed, having a beautiful bookmark waiting for them adds a small moment of joy every time they open their book. And if you want something extra sweet, these handcrafted heart shaped corner bookmarks ($9.99) are one of our favorites. They’re soft, sturdy, and come in a set of six pretty colors, making them a thoughtful touch for any book lover.

39. Meaningful crystal bracelet

A meaningful crystal bracelet can be a sweet, budget-friendly gift that brings a little comfort and intention to someone’s fertility journey without adding any pressure. Many people find grounding in stones like moonstone for cycle balance, rose quartz for self-love, carnelian for passion, amethyst for emotional calm, and citrine for hope and positivity. Worn together, they create a gentle reminder that they’re supported, held, and allowed to believe in brighter days ahead. It’s a small, heartfelt token that can make them feel cared for every time they look down at their wrist.

Gifts to avoid (and what to give instead)

When someone is struggling with fertility, certain gifts can sting in ways the giver never intended. Baby clothes, pregnancy books, or anything that hints at “positive vibes only” might seem encouraging on the surface, but they can feel like salt in a wound for someone who’s hurting. Even well meaning gestures can hit hard if they assume a timeline or outcome that the person can’t control. It’s much kinder to focus on gifts that support them rather than the future they’re hoping for. Here are a few examples of what to skip, and what lands much more gently instead:

• Instead of baby clothes, try a cozy self-care item like a blanket, candle, or comfort tea that helps them unwind on tough days.
• Instead of pregnancy or parenting books, choose a beautiful journal they can use however they want without feeling pushed toward anything.
• Instead of fertility trinkets like onesies that say “future mama,” offer a soothing wellness gift such as bath salts, a sleep spray, or a calming audio subscription.
• Instead of anything with “just relax, it’ll happen” messaging, gift a supportive note paired with something grounding, like a soft pair of socks or a meaningful bracelet.

The goal isn’t to tiptoe or overthink every detail. It’s simply to choose something that says, “I’m here for you,” without assuming where their journey is headed.

How to give fertility gifts with sensitivity

Timing and tone matter. If you’re giving a fertility-related gift, pair it with gentle words like, “I saw this and thought it might make things a little easier. No pressure to use it. I’m here for you.” Avoid comments about timelines, predictions, or anything that suggests control over outcomes. Watch for their cues. If they change the subject or seem uncomfortable, follow their lead. At the end of the day, the gift is secondary. What matters most is making sure they feel safe, respected, and understood.

The act of giving during a fertility journey

The truth is, the most meaningful gift you can offer isn’t something you can wrap. It’s your presence, your softness, your willingness to support them through a season that can be incredibly hard. Every person’s path to parenthood looks different. Some need space. Some need connection. Some need something practical. Some just need to know someone cares.

Check in with your loved ones about what they need, when they need it. And don’t forget: you can always find more resources, stories, and community right here on Rescripted. We're in this with you.
