What can I get my stepmother for Christmas?

My dad and stepmother have been together for 5 years now, and she and I don't have the best relationship... My dad and I have a wonderful relationship and I have a great relationship with my 14 year old stepbrother, but my stepmother and I haven't ever really spent quality time just the two of us... Sometimes I think that she thinks that I don't want to get to know her better or something, but it's kind of hard because I'm a single mom (my daughter's father and I are together but he's in the Navy and stationed in Virginia), I'm a full time college student, I work part time, and I live 3,000 miles away from them, so I really don't have a bunch of time...

Anyway, I want to get her something nice for Christmas to tell her that I do love her and do care, but I'm stuck...

I got her an electronic photo frame and I loaded it with a bunch of pictures form the last few times my daughter, sister, nieces and I visited, but then I realized that her birthday is next week so I'm going to send her that for her birthday,

So, any ideas on what to get her for Christmas?

She's hard to shop for, she's in the jewelry business so that's out, she has a camera, she loves to run and go to the gym so I was thinking an iPod because she uses a little FM radio, but I don't know if she'll really use it or what ind of music she likes... She and my father love to go out for dinner and they love wine, but I can't afford any of the places they like... I was thinking a wine of the month club but there isn't an option to get a 6 month or year membership, it's all by the month and I don't want to do only one month. She is really into fashion and loves designer clothes and high end stuff, again, I can't afford it...

I'm really stuck, I want to get her something meaningful and that she'll love, so please, any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

    I like the ipod suggestion as well. Maybe buy her a new nanochromatic one, so you can pick her favorite color.

    If she has a special music taste that you know of, it'd be cool if you actually loaded the ipod with songs she likes, and songs you think she'll like!

    Good luck!

    Woah this woman isn't my type of woman either I hope you're okay! If you dont mind falling out with her (as tbh she doesn't seem like the woman you want in your life) why not get her an ironic book like "how to stop being an alcoholic gambler" :p or buy her some kind of cigarette lighter or a cheap bottle of alcohol. Or, if you feel you must keep the peace then an impersonal gift like chocolate or wine or something would suffice. You don't owe this woman anything and you could just get her a Christmas card and a really small present :)

    If you really want to get her something meaningful and personal and say that you love her, I think you should make it yourself. This might be unrealistic if you haven't got much time, but you can at least make a card and in it tell her how you feel and how you'd want to get to know her better. If you're making something you can look through books and the internet to get some ideas. But whatever you do, just remember that what's most important is the way you give the gift. If you try your best to get something that she'll like then I think she would really appreciate that. Good luck and merry Christmas :)

    I think the i pod is a good idea. Put on it 1. Celine Dion's " I drove all night" 2. Celine Dion and Josh Groban's "The Prayer' 3.Michael Buble's "Sway me".4. Nelly Furtado's and Timberland's "Say it right" 5.George Michael's "Destinfinado"6 .Mario Vasquez's "Gallery" 7. Clay Aikens "Invisible" 8.Neyo's "Boss " put two more Italian and French language songs on it. Or get her a subscription for "Vogue" magazine. Good luck.

    Find out her favourite flower, tree, shrub and have a living plant delivered

    to her with a card saying something along the lines of "as this plant has grown so has my love for you and hopefully it will continue to grow for years to come" just make sure it is healthy and your Step-Mum is a 'green thumb'. Or, just a floral arrangement with a card. I love receiving flowers and never do so I would be thrilled with that.

    Make up a 'cheque' for 4 hours of 'girl-time' the next time you get together.

    The more simple it is the more heartwarming it is received.

    Being a Step-Mum is one of the loveliest people to be when our step-child accepts us and says 'I love you' in all honetsy.

    Good luck, hope this helps a bit.

    your so sweet for thinking of her! how about you spend the day with her? you guys can get massages, pedi's, mani's and just talk! it would help build a good relationship with her

    or i think the iPod with a $25 or $50 (whichever you can afford) music card is a great idea! Walmart sells songs for like 88 cent or something so a $50 gift card would be a great start to her building a music collection or even $25. good luck!
