We like to think of stepdaughters as bonus daughters. The “perk” kids that you may get when you marry someone that’s either been married before or had children from a past relationship. Building a bond with your bonus daughters is important to the health of your new family, so get to know what they love. Encourage their interests. Form a friendship. Be supportive and loving to make a positive impact in their life. Don’t be the evil stepparent from fairytale stories. With holidays around the corner, check out these gifts for stepdaughters. All are thoughtful if you know they’ll love it, and each one proves that you are attentive to the interests and fantastic personality of your stepdaughter.
