Stepmoms plus other relatives and friends who are mothers deserve a nod on Mother’s Day too. So, what do you get the other moms in your life?
There are thousands of witty mugs out there, and if any of the mothers you are shopping for like coffee or tea, this is a good gift category.
You just might make her day if you give her this “Best Bonus Mom Ever” mug
If you want to add to the gift, you can fill the mug with her favorite candy or specialty coffee beans.
A cute example is this wooden cutting board that you can customize with a special message dedicated just to her — that gives you room to spell out whatever your relationship might be.
Right now, Amazon has it on sale for $24.95.
This heart-shaped pendant necklace and locket is made of 100% sterling silver. It can serve as a reminder of how much one of the mothers in your life means to you. This jewelry is part of the “Amazon Essentials” collection and is designed to last and be potentially passed down generations.

Gift baskets come in so many varieties that if you look around enough you’ll eventually find one that suits the other mother(s) in your life.
The Lovery Spa Self Care basket comes with 10-piece spa essentials that bring spa luxury to any home. It comes with almond oil and honey-infused bath salts, bubble bath, shower gel, shower steamer tablets, bath bombs, body scrub, and more. Almond oil is rich in Vitamin E and shea butter and can potential diminish signs of aging.
Florists do a lot of business on Mother’s Day — and one thing that’s even nicer than a floral arrangement is a plant that will stick around long after cut flowers would have wilted.
One popular plant among Mother’s Day shoppers on Amazon right now is the Satsuki Azalea bonsai. It’s easy to maintain, has beautiful pink flowers and doesn’t take up much space. Bonsai trees are considered to be living art, can be used to reduce stress, and can be used to create one-of-a-kind aesthically dynamic tiny trees.
Plus you can choose between small, medium and large sizes to fit your budget and the gift recipient’s home space. You can buy a small, medium, or large bonsai tree from prices ranging from $30.49 to $45 at Amazon now.
Lastly, the biggest gift you can give your stepmom or any other mother in your life is acknowledgment.
Showing her appreciation and letting her know that you see the effort she has put into being in your life will make her feel special, even if you can only budget for a card.
Speaking of cards, there’s a whole spectrum of possibilities — from the ones you make yourself to the kind you buy, which can even have bling on them. An example is this rhinestone-trimmed Mother’s Day Card which costs $8.99 on Amazon.
Gift-giving isn’t as much of a tradition on Mother’s Day like it is on other holidays, so you shouldn’t feel obligated to bestow anything upon any of the mothers in your life. However, this little bit of effort can really make your recipients’ day.
