Gift for step mother of the groom

Help!
I am down to the wire And am hunting for gifts for parents and grandparents of me and my fiancé. I’m stuck and don’t know what to get for his stepmother. She’s only been the picture for about four years and we are very close with her at all. But I don’t feel right not getting her anything at all when the other parents will be receiving a gift. I don’t need any criticism on family relations at this point (we’ve already been given so so much) so just gift ideas are appreciated!
thank you

    Maybe a nice bracelet or pair of earrings? if she likes pandora a charm. you can find some cute ideas on etsy & have someone customize the card.

    What are you getting the other parents? I'd at least want them to be of a similar "level". They definitely don't need to be the same at all, but say if you are getting your mom a custom necklace, you wouldn't get stepmom a personalized pair of socks (extreme I know, but you get the point)

    We’re getting my mom and his grandma a piece of personalized jewelry, and my dad an engraved keychain for his Harley. She’s a bit of a artsy type women if that helps

    I agree with Anna as far as checking out Etsy (love the bracelet/charm idea!). Honestly I'm struggling with this myself, FH's mom passed away when he was 9 and his dad remarried when he was 18, so his stepmom didn't exactly raise him, but she's the only "mom" he has. Nothing I've found so far seems quite right. Good luck!

    I’m not saying a handkerchief is the way to go but this is the type of quoted stuff you can find on etsy & put on earrings etc. i also got my stepmom a pin that said “Bonus Mom of the Bride” for parties as a cute touch

    I bought cutting boards that were handmade in New Orleans by a local company since we were doing a destination wedding there. We gave those to our parents at the rehersal dinner.

    at my bridesmaid luncheon the day before the wedding, I gave my mom, my husband’s mom, and the grandmothers a Christmas ornament that was made by a local artist.

    i looked for things that were made locally and had some symbolism for where we got married since it was a destination wedding. None of these items were crazy expensive and they weren’t so wedding-specific that they would end up in a drawer going unused after our wedding.
