Gifts for future step children...looking for ideas

Melissa, on October 6, 2019 at 8:27 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 1 5
My fiancé and I both have children from a previous marriage. We are having a very small intimate ceremony. We want to have a gift to give each of our children where we say something special to them. I have 3 boys (14, 11 and 8) and he has a little girl (5). We were thinking of doing dog tags for the boys & a necklace for her with “the day you became my son/daughter” and our wedding date. I’m just curious what other options are out there.

    I spend hours on Etsy looking for stuff like this and different ideas. They have all kinds of ideas. Just search gifts for my step son/daughter. I've found personalized wallets, stuffed animals, cars, jewelry...all kinds of things.

    For our oldest sons (his 11 and mine 12) we're getting them nicer wallets with their names on them. The have wallets you can have a sweet message engraved into them. But we're getting a laser engraved wallet card made for them. It'll have a message from each of us, on different sides of the card

    For my youngest sons (7 & 8) we're getting them a personalized ring bearer car and a little lego guy

    For my girls (13 & 15), we're getting them hairbrushes and make up bags with their names on them.

    There's a few other ideas but that's what I can remember off the top of my head

    My husband has 2 nieces and 2 nephews. We got them stuff we knew they would like. The one boy is three and he loves dinosaurs so I got him a stuffed blue dinosaur with his name on it. He was carrying it around all night after he gave it to him. The older boy who is 15 got the same gift as the groomsmen which was an engraved mug with his name on it. The two girls are 6 and 8 and I got them pillows with their names on them. They are the type of pillows withe sequins that you can move and a design will come through. All of the children loved their gifts.

    Hey Melissa! I love your idea of something that the children can wear to remind them of such a special day. I think it is a great idea too because they will never outgrow them, they will have them forever.
