Sometimes the gesture of a small gift can brighten their day and give them strength to continue in this heartbreaking journey. We created this gift guide just in time for the holidays, however, feel free to use it anytime to let your loved one know you are thinking of them during this time.

These socks are meant for good luck during retrieval day, and they are supposed to be cute or silly ones that will make you smile!
Take it Easy Gifts
Taking it easy is a lot easier said than done when struggling with infertility. However, there are some great gifts that you can give to help encourage relaxation.
Infertility Journal –Sometimes writing what’s on you your mind can help you to relax. Getting things off your mind can be a huge help! Aromatherapy Gift Set – There are some great aromatherapy scents that can encourage stress relief and relaxation. Bath Bombs – A bath with some amazing bath bombs is always a great time for relaxing.
As a friendly reminder, infertility is a very rough road for anyone on it. Every person deals with it differently, so just keep in mind who you’re shopping for. Some people may just need an encouraging card, where others are ecstatic to receive a necklace that they will wear every day. If you’re unsure then ask someone who would be able to help guide you, such as a spouse or parent. Most importantly remember they are grateful to have you as a support system along the way.
