The Best Gifts for Step Moms

Disney’s Snow White and Sleeping Beauty gave all stepmothers an evil persona, when in reality, stepmoms would do anything to shield all of their children from the evil that they may encounter in life.

Mother’s Day is also about celebrating our stepmoms that stepped into our lives, cared for us, and loved us. DNA doesn’t make family, love does! Give her something personal she will cherish for many years to come.

We put together a list of the best gifts for stepmoms that they are sure to love!

Personalized Picture Frame

She didn’t give you life, but life gave you her! Say thank you to her with this personalized picture frame that reads “Thank you for being the Mom you didn’t have to be”. We also love this personalized Stepped Up Mom poem picture frame. These picture frames are unique Mother’s Day gifts that are personalized with the stepchild’s name.

Personalized Blended Family Wall Art

It’s time to celebrate your blended family! Made of quality vegan leather, this “The Perfect Blend wall sign is personalized with each family member’s name. Display on the wall for the perfect addition to your family room.

Birth Stone Necklace

A beautiful and personal gift that bonds stepmom and the children is this Mother’s Birthstone Engravable Family Heart Pendant from Zales. She can wear all of her stepchildren’s birthstones wherever she goes. Customize the necklace with up to five different birthstones and corresponding engraved names.

Handmade Blanket

Head to your local Michaels or Joann Fabrics to get started on your homemade blanket. First, pick out two patterns of blanket material that she would love and ask an employee for assistance before cutting them to the ideal size. Once you are home, lay the two blanket pieces on top of each other; cut two-inch cuts, one-inch apart, all around the outside of both pieces of blanket; then tie the two blankets together at every strip. Once you are done, you will have a handmade, warm blanket to give to her.

Personal Fill-in-the-Blank Mini Book

Turn on your thinking cap and unleash your inner child with this “Why I’m Grateful for You” book from Knock Knock. Every page has a fun, fill-in-the-blank question or sentence. Ask your kids the questions and write down their response then have them sign their name. She will be able to read this over and over again and know how much she is appreciated.

Cooking Class

Sign you and your stepmom up for a baking or cooking class for an evening of fun and quality time. You both will learn how to make the best dessert or meal that you can cook at home for the whole family. Not familiar with any local classes, try The Online Baking Academy for online classes that you can do in the comfort of your own home.

Personalized Cutting Board

Featuring a beautiful tree design and the quote “Like branches on a tree our family grows in different directions, yet our roots remain as one,” this family tree cutting board is also personalized with the family’s name. A heartwarming Mother’s Day gift that she will make her feel a part of the family.

Wine Tasting

Sign up for a wine tasting experience at the local winery for the two of you. While spending quality time together, she can taste and learn about new wine. Even better, pair the experience with this “Good Moms Drink Wine” stainless wine tumbler to complete the wine-themed gift.

Family Portraits

Get the whole family all dressed up and surprise her with family portraits. Create lifelong memories gifting her pictures that she can cherish forever and a fun experience for the whole family. After pictures, take her to a delicious dinner at her favorite restaurant.

Home Spa Basket

Head to the store and put together a relaxing spa basket for her evening of relaxation. Include bath bombs, lotion, a face mask, a jade roller, and a magazine to read while she is being pampered. Even better, take all the kids out of the house so she can, finally, have a quite evening to herself.
