12 Thoughtful Christmas Gifts For A Newly Divorced Woman
Trust me, the holidays can be gut-wrenching for the woman who didn’t want the separation or divorce. I speak from experience! So I’ve curated a list, checked it twice and am sharing it with you to let you know what’s a good gift for your divorced friend or family member. The following items contain affiliate links, should you order from my link, I get a small commission. Gracias!
Single’s Swag
What a great reminder every month #LoveYourself! If there’s one lesson I know for sure, it’s how essential the path to self love is after a divorce.
SinglesSwag doesn’t subscribe to any societal or cultural expectations of women. They believe a woman's happiness is determined by her outlook and attitude, not by her relationship status.
After being rejected, your friend is probably feeling pretty crappy about her lovability factor right now. This gift will lift her spirits in the months after December when the post-holiday blues might be settling in.
Luca & Danni
What an inspirational story from the founder of this jewelry company. As kids, Fred and his brother Danny ran around their father’s jewelry studio in Rhode Island.
Danny was diagnosed with cancer and during the time he went through chemo treatments, he and Fred talked about Danny’s dream to create American Made jewelry that inspired others through their journey of life.
After Danny died at just 33 years old, Fred made the decision to bring his brother’s dream to life. He moved his family back to Rhode Island and set up shop in the same studio where they hung out as kids.
I’ve learned to live in the moment, and to keep the faith no matter how difficult things may seem. I’ve learned that life is a journey and perhaps most importantly, I’ve learned to embrace it.
~ Fred Magnanimi - CEO Founder Luca And Danni
Masterclass
Engaging the mind is vital for anyone going through divorce. Those feel -good brain chemicals like dopamine can be released when engaging in an activity like learning a new skill.
This is one of the best Christmas gifts for recently divorced women. Especially for one who took care of the homefront and will likely need to develop a plan to create a source of income.
With so many courses to choose from, I’m sure you’ll find the perfect Master Class.
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.

Did you know that ice cream is a dietary staple for the newly divorced woman? She’s going to need a lot of this to get her through those sleepless nights and she should always have a pint or two ready for girl’s movie night.
Have fun with your own personalized message whether it’s to give her a laugh or inspire her, you’ll find delicious flavors to choose from.
If she’s a local friend, make sure to stop by and visit. Divorce can be very isolating and your kindness will be much appreciated.
Grow And Make
The aroma of the honey in combination with the process of making these beautiful soaps will be a wonderful way for your recently divorced friend to engage in an activity that’s peaceful and requires her focus.
Not only will she get to enjoy using these soaps, but she can give them as gifts, too. You might even want to get a few kits and organize a girl’s get together for an afternoon to bring her some cheerful company.
Grow and Make has a number of gifts that might be the perfect choice for your friend. From an herbal tea garden to hot sauce and an exfoliating sugar scrub, their kits encourage us to become more hands-on in our consumables.
Sudara Anju Robe
I love a company that is dedicated to lifting women up out of poverty and the sex trade that is all too common globally. Sudara’s mission is to empower women to live in freedom from sex-slavery through safe, sustainable living-wage employment.
All the clothing is made in India and each design is named after a woman at the center where they receive vocational training and medical care.
Your friend will wrap herself not only in a hug from you, but the strength of the woman who handsewed the garment after breaking free from oppression.
Your recently divorced friend may not want her new freedom. But in time, she will heal and grow into a force of nature filled with gratitude for the freedom she didn’t even know she wanted.

Bonsai Boy of New York
When I went through my divorce, one of the helpful things I needed to grasp was the concept of staying in the moment. It’s typically very challenging to do when your whole world changes in an instant.
Select one of the easier Bonsai plants like this Hawaiian Umbrella Tree for your recently divorced friend. Taking care of a Bonsai Tree can help her relax and focus on caring for the plant, which requires some attention.
Buddha Groove
I know how my mind just couldn’t stop racing, racing, racing when my marriage came to an abrupt end. Having never had anxiety before, the physical symptoms were unrecognizable to me!
I needed to find some peace, fast. Things like these Mindful Spinner Rings to these Healing Singing Bowls and this Lotus Aromatherapy Pendant would have helped me find a moment of calm amidst the storm.
The lotus flower is a symbol of overcoming pain and regenerating the self. The perfect reminder for your newly divorced friend that she’ll be okay.
So many of these gifts from Buddha Groove would be appreciated.

Yes, You can gift this
For a close friend, this is a perfect gift. You’ll both laugh about it and she will really come to appreciate this essential accessory. Aren’t words wonderful the way they create several meanings?
If it doesn’t include batteries, supply them. Nothing worse than getting a new toy you can’t play with right away.
Vibrators.com prides themselves on their privacy policies. The package is delivered with no identifying labeling whatsoever.
Pajamamania
Let’s face it, some days you just want to stay in bed all day and forget the holidays altogether.
She will love the ultimate comfort with these silky breathable bamboo pajamas. I have a pair of bamboo pj’s and they are the only material I’ll sleep in, especially now that I live in Panama!
Love With Food
Those memes you see of broken hearted women eating potato chips for dinner? They’re true. I barely had an appetite, let alone felt like cooking.
