The 25 Best Gifts for Stepmom That Will Make Mother’s Day Even More Special

Your stepmother had a full life before you came into the picture. With a yearly subscription to Storyworth, she’ll have a platform to share with you (and anyone who’ll listen). Every week she will answer new questions about her past, present and future, and her answers will be printed in a hardcover book for everyone to read.

This kettle is practically begging for the spotlight, and its stovetop is the final stage. It will really stand out, especially if her kitchen relies heavily on neutral, muted tones. But don’t worry, hundreds of five-star reviewers attest that it’s as practical as it is beautiful.

Here’s a way to prove how matcha your stepmother means to you. This kit comes with all the essentials for making matcha, including a bag of traditional matcha, a spoon to scoop it out, and a whisk to make it frothy.

Friendship bracelets have never gone out of style. The only difference is that they are now much higher than the multi-colored ones you made as a kid. A prime example: this gold- or silver-plated stunner from Kendra Scott, which can be adjusted to fit her wrist.

There is no doubt that your stepmother helped you flourish. Get the names of all your favorite flowers (I’m talking about your children and stepchildren) printed on this garden rock to symbolize your growing garden of love.

She loves spending a day – or, let’s face it, an entire weekend – tending to her garden. Even so, she still needs to watch her back and knees while at work. Enter this steel and nylon stool, which also doubles as a removable toolbox so she can keep her trowel, rake, and other gardening supplies within arm’s reach.

If she prefers long, hot showers over bubble baths, then it’s time to introduce her to the wonderful world of bath steamers (think: bath bombs for the shower). Place them in the corner of your shower and they will slowly release calming scents of lavender, mint, and eucalyptus as they dissolve.

Gardenias are said to represent harmony and love – both of which are present in your relationship with your stepmother. Over time, this flowering plant (available in small or medium sizes, starting at $45) will reveal fragrant white flowers. Think of it as a sign that the best is yet to come in your relationship.

In many ways, your stepmother is like a lotus flower. She rose from the hypothetical mud, but remains one of the brightest lights in his life. This white sapphire and gold vermeil necklace will symbolize that same feeling.

Flower tea will turn tea time into an unforgettable (OK, Insta-worthy) experience. Simply place a rose, chrysanthemum, or blue lotus flower in a clear mug or teapot, dip it in boiling water, and watch it bloom. Enjoy three cups of tea per flower – this gift set comes with 9 flowers, that’s 27 cups of tea!

Do you know the best type of gift to give? It is to receive? One that has no end date. Set her up for a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly flower delivery. Prices vary depending on the type of bouquet you choose. My suggestion: choose the classic tier ($55 per delivery) and pay for the subscription upfront to save on each delivery.

White sneakers are a classic, no matter the season. Amazon shoppers can’t get enough of these platform sneakers, with many raving that they’re great for travel and all-day wear. “I wore them to our annual fair, walking over 15,000 steps a day and standing for 10 hours. They are now my shoes almost every day,” adding that they were “comfortable from the start.”

Choosing a perfume for someone else is a bold move. Instead of making the impossible choice, give her this sampler of seven popular scents from Burberry, Gucci, and other best-selling brands. After trying them all, she can take the included gift card to a nearby Sephora store (or shop online) to redeem a full-size bottle.

Fill this striped bag (available in blue, yellow, pink, or green combinations) with your favorite beauty products, snacks, and fresh flowers. Or leave it empty to let the bag do the talking.

The next time she goes to the pool or runs out for yoga, she can quickly slide down these lightweight slides and be on her way. They mold to her feet like the Birkenstocks she’s worn for years, but they’re even more practical because they’re made from a washable, waterproof material.

Because she will never pass up something sweet. Inside this gift box she will find an assortment of hand-decorated shortbread cookies with beautiful Mother’s Day designs.

No-makeup makeup is an art, and your stepmom is still trying to perfect it. Introduce her to this multi-purpose balm—once she breaks the seal, she can use it to add a subtle pop of color to her lips, cheeks, or anywhere else she wants to shine.

If wine is the way to her heart, then you know what to do: Grab a bottle of her favorite red or white and place it in this fabric carrier. It’s better than bringing it as is or putting it in a gift bag, especially since she can use it for future picnics, parties, and outdoor trips.

These salt and pepper shakers are more of a want than a need, and that’s exactly what makes them a welcome gift for your stepmom. Stick them to any table to instantly bring the outdoors inside.

Who wants to spend money on socks? Not your stepmother, that’s for sure. Treat her to a four-pack of Bombas everyday socks, which one superfan said are “the softest I’ve ever worn.” Go with the pack that comes with spring tones like mint green, lavender, sky blue and cream.

High-quality olive oil is a luxury for any home chef. This duo will cover all the bases: She can use one for cooking and baking, and the other for basting and watering. (Note this may not arrive in time for Mother’s Day.)

Now that she’s on the AirPods train, it’s your duty to make sure she never leaves (ahem, loses them). Stamp her initials on this grained leather case so she has no excuses. Choose from 14 colors and four styles depending on your AirPods model. (Note this may not arrive in time for Mother’s Day.)

Does she have any trips on the horizon? Then this little box will make packing jewelry, watches and other small accessories much easier. When she arrives at her destination, she can open the box and lay the sides flat for easy access to the little treasures hidden inside. (Note this may not arrive in time for Mother’s Day.)

Cards are great and all, but most of the time they end up stuffed in a drawer after the festivities are over. Enter this pop-up peony wonderland, which she will proudly place—and leave—on display long after you read the accompanying message. (Note this may not arrive in time for Mother’s Day.)

Bees and butterflies are crucial to making a garden grow. And while they might stop and smell the roses on their own, this set of five ceramic cups will attract thirsty pollinators to work their magic. The cups are made to look like flowers, but they also contain a teaspoon of water to encourage our flying friends to drink before they pollinate nearby flowers.
