When it comes to finding the perfect gift, it can feel like the pressure is on — especially when it’s for someone as important as your stepmom. You welcomed her into your family and she now holds a special place in your heart. There’s so much you want to say to her, including how much you love and appreciate her, and it can be hard to find something that encompasses all of that.
The key to finding a great stepmom gift is finding something that’s not only beautiful but something that she will be able to use often — and something that will remind her to take a little time for herself after caring for you and your other loved ones. Maybe you want to treat her to a spa day, or upgrade her athleisure collection, or even splurge on a luxury gift she’s been eyeing. Not sure? Don’t worry — we’ve rounded up gifts for her that she’ll love.
We know every stepmom has unique interests. While a bouquet of fresh flowers may impress one stepmom, we know a sustainable gift will be greatly appreciated by another.
From scented candles for nights in to travel bags that’ll keep her essentials within reach to cozy apparel she’ll never want to take off, we included gifts that’ll appeal to every stepmom. Pair one of our stepmom gift picks with a sweet note, and you’re sure to bring a happy tear to her eye.
If your stepmom is on her feet all day, give her the gift of walking on clouds – metaphorically. These trendy slides have thick, lightweight, and compression-resistant soles that provide maximum support, stability, and comfort. It comes in multiple colors, so you can give her one for every outfit.
Up her loungewear game with these sherpa-lined joggers. Don’t be fooled by their classic look — these joggers will be the comfiest, thickest pair she owns. Not only will they keep your stepmom warm on cooler evenings, but they’re stylish enough to wear out of the house, too. Win-win.
Is your stepmom also a pet mom? Blow her away with a custom portrait of her fur baby (or babies). These pet portraits are printed on gallery-quality canvas and stretched over a wood frame. Simply send Purr & Mutt a photo of her furry BFF and it’ll be turned into a work of art for a stepmom gift she’ll be proud to display.
When it comes to thanking your stepmom for all that she’s done for you, sometimes something simple can make the biggest statement.
The pearl on this necklace isn’t from fresh water or salt water — it’s actually grown around a Swarovski crystal, while other artificial pearls are made around plastic beads. Because of this, the pearl is a bit more luminous than others.
Your stepmom’s sore muscles are no match for this massager. It has adjustable straps for a secure fit, an ergonomic design that will fit her neck and back perfectly, and a heating function that provides extra relief.
The best part is that she can take this shiatsu massager with her everywhere. No appointment required!
Oven mitts may seem like a small gift, but it’s probably something your stepmom won’t end up buying herself.
