How to pick the right song for a step-mom
| Moment | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Song from her wedding to your dad | celebrates the union, not the parenting |
| Song from a memorable family vacation | shared memory, no parenting framing |
| Her favorite song from her teen years | it's about her, not her role |
| Song that played at a milestone (graduation, college move-in) | thank-you without being explicit |
FAQ
What do you write on a step-mom gift?
Skip “Mom” if your relationship doesn't use that word. AmourPrint accepts whatever name or nickname you call her — first name, “Bonus Mom”, etc. — free with the canvas.
Is a step-mom gift different from a Mother's Day gift?
Often yes — step-moms appreciate gifts that don't force the "Mom" label.
How long does AmourPrint take?
1-2 business day production + standard US shipping.
What size hangs best in a kitchen or living room?
11x14 ($89) reads well in a kitchen; 16x20 ($129) anchors a living-room gallery wall.
Can I include both her and my dad's names on the canvas?
Yes — most lyric canvas orders include both partners' names + a date or short message, all free.
