Photo Album

• Select a photo album for your stepmother. If she has been a part of your family for a while, place photos in the album of holidays, trips you have taken and other things you have done as a family. This is not only a gift that she is likely to treasure, it will show her that you value her as a member of your family.
  
  

Purse

• When your stepmother enjoys fashion, choose a purse for her. Purses make good accessories for many different outfits, so choose one that fits her personality. For example, if she likes to have the hottest new trends out there, purchase a designer bag. A bag made from recycled materials, such as grocery bags, might be a better fit for an eco-conscious woman.
  
  

Garden Items

• If your stepmother takes pride in caring for her yard or garden, select a gift to complement her hobby. Choose a flowering plant that she can hang on her front porch or a shrub that she can plant in her front yard. Another idea is to create a gift basket filled with gardening items, such as a trowel, a spade, gardening gloves, seeds and a new hose nozzle.
  
  

Kitchen Items

• Choose a kitchen item for a stepmother who enjoys cooking for her family. Give her a new casserole dish or a set of pots and pans. Serving dishes that complement her dining room decor are another option. Alternatively, choose an appliance that will help her make a certain type of meal. For example, choose an ice cream maker, a smoothie maker, a panini press or a pasta machine.
