Unique gift ideas for your Stepdad

This is a very personal and delicate matter for me. Unfortunately, life is most of the time not fair but it is how it is.

We are not about to jump to conclusions about the character of the person you call “stepdad.” Perhaps he’s the man who you aspire to be one day or a cheesy dude who makes your mom happy. Maybe he is the person you never had, or some guy you just barely get along with. “Stepdad” can mean anything and can be good or bad but is reality.

The character of the new Step Dad should be on our Dad list but we will update here more

Stepdads are now very common and everywhere to find. Ironically that makes it not easier…gifts for stepdads can be challenging depending on your relationship with your stepfather. Whether they’ve helped raised you from childhood or joined along later in life. Let’s go deeper and analyze this…..

Your Stepdad has been there for you since the day he came into your life, taking on his role as “bonus dad” without any hesitation. Or he makes just your mum happy and just respects you. It can be also a horrible stepdad who can make the family situation worst.

However, we are not here to judge and just recommend what could be the best gift for any kind of stepdad. We would not recommend giving any kind of spirit as a gift. I know it is a common tradition to give a neutral present like a bottle of scotch or wine thanks to the commercials all around us.

We created a project that includes a poll and survey to find out the top :

Top 5:

A simple keyring will surprise you with what warm smile you will get as a response. Be it a house key, or a car key it is something he will always have on him. Doesn’t matter what shape or material. Personalized customized, engraved

Top 4

Aftershave. Every man has to shave his face. Some have to do it every day some in a while but it can sometimes hurt and most of the time you get red hot skin. Trust me they will thank you so much for this gesture. Aftershaves are designed to reduce the irritation, razor burn, and bumps caused by shaving. Our final reason as to why you should gift a bottle of perfume or aftershave is that many people find it too expensive to shop for themselves. For a present, we recommend the old classy Aftershaves from Calvin kline or Davidoff. But the product from Nivea should do that also.

A personalized cup. It is fact that 90 % of every person needs first thing in the morning their cup of tea or coffee. Customized cups will be always a classic gift. I have alone about 5 mugs and cups from my daughter and love them all. By giving a mug as a gift, you are extending a special reminder to someone that they are loved and cared about. Giving someone a mug as a gift symbolizes friendship or love. A mug is generally used throughout the day, and extending it as a gift further validates the personal symbolism of the mug. Each time a recipient uses the mug, it will constantly remind them of the giver.

This one actually was doing a head-to-head race with our top 1 in our survey. A Ticket for two to your local Cinema, or an invitation to your local bistro or restaurant. These kinds of gifts and gestures are ideal and always unforgettable because they bring your Stepdad out of your comfort zone. Trust me, everyone loves to sit in the cinema with their snacks and have just a good time. Specific for a person you believe has already everything.

Top 1

And the winner is a hamper or gift basket, which would’ve pleased our Stepdad. You can even choose a theme that would suit him best. Gift baskets are a fun way to mix DIY and purchased items to create a gift that’s both meaningful and practical. It’s also a great way to get young kids involved in making a gift your Stepdad will love. So, what do you put in a basket?

Well, take a look at his favorite hobbies and pastimes. Need some ideas? Why not give him his favorite reading magazine or book, a relaxing spa for him, or his most popular snacks? Just combine the right mixture and create your s unique handicrafts. The inspiration here is endless.

We are happy and open to any comments or new ideas because we know it is very difficult to find the right present for any kind of stepdad.
