Some days call for encouragement. Other days call for somebody to tell you to put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

This funny wood sign gets right to the point with the saying, "Time to put on your big girl panties and deal with it." The quote is attributed to Sue Aikens, and we laser-engrave the wording directly into wood for a piece of decor with a little more attitude than your average inspirational sign.

Want the saying shown in our photos? Just select or tell us you want the Big Girl Panties design when ordering. Want your own funny saying, sarcastic quote, inside joke, name, or custom wording instead? That's what we do. Tell us what you want engraved, and we'll personalize your sign around your idea.

For the Person Who Doesn't Need Another Motivational Speech

There are already enough signs telling everybody to dream bigger, sparkle brighter, and dance like nobody's watching.

Sometimes life isn't that complicated.

Something went wrong. You're irritated. You'd rather not deal with it. But eventually you've got to get up and handle it anyway.

That's the personality behind this sign.

It's funny, a little sarcastic, and probably perfect for the friend who would roll her eyes if you gave her something overly sentimental.

A Funny Gift for a Woman Who Can Handle Herself

This one practically picks its own recipient.

Think about the woman in your life who tells it like it is. Maybe it's Mom. Maybe it's your sister, wife, coworker, boss, best friend, aunt, or the woman everybody calls when something has gone completely sideways.

She might complain about it first. She might use a few words we can't put on every sign. But eventually she handles it.

That's who I'd buy this for.

Use This Saying or Give Us Your Own

The example shown is only one design.

Weaver Custom Engravings makes custom signs, so if your family or workplace has its own saying that everybody recognizes immediately, send it to us.

Depending on the wording and available engraving space, you can personalize a sign with:

• A funny saying
• Sarcastic quote
• Family inside joke
• Coworker saying
• Nickname
• Funny advice from Mom or Grandma
• Short custom message
• Name or date
• Your own original quote
• Another suitable custom design

If you want something completely open-ended where you supply the wording, take a look at our custom quote engraving sign for another way to turn your own words into wood.

Funny Home Decor That Actually Gets Read

Ubersuggest shows people actively shopping for funny wood signs, and I think there's a reason these work so well.

People read them.

You can hang a beautiful generic decoration on the wall and eventually everybody stops noticing it. Put up a sign that makes somebody laugh halfway through reading it and suddenly it's a conversation piece.

This one works well in an office, kitchen, entryway, home bar, craft room, she shed, garage, break room, or anywhere somebody could occasionally use the reminder.

A Coworker Gift With a Little Personality

This could also be hilarious in the right workplace.

If you've got a coworker who's famous for getting things handled, somebody retiring after years of dealing with everybody else's problems, or a boss with a good sense of humor, a sarcastic engraved sign can make a much more memorable gift than another generic desk decoration.

The trick is knowing your audience.

If she would laugh before you even finished explaining it, you're probably buying for the right person.

Laser Engraved Into Real Wood

We laser engrave the wording directly into the wood rather than putting a vinyl decal over the surface.

Because wood is a natural material, grain, coloring, knots, markings, and engraving appearance can vary from piece to piece. Those differences are normal and give each sign some natural character of its own.

You're getting a real piece of engraved wood, not a printed imitation of wood grain.

A Quick Note About Display and Hanging

Furniture, candles, plants, beads, and other decorative items shown in our product photography are display props and are not included with the sign. When offered on the listing, rope hanger and sawtooth hanger options can be selected from the available product options.

Sometimes the Sign Just Needs to Say It

You don't always need a beautiful speech.

You don't always need another inspirational quote telling you everything happens for a reason.

Sometimes you've got a problem sitting in front of you, nobody else is going to fix it, and it's officially time to deal with it.

If that sounds exactly like somebody you know, you've probably already figured out who this sign is for.
