Bonus daughter is a newer word for step-daughter, and we love it! It embraces the special bonus of life they bring into your new family and frankly Disney movies have really ruined the concept of “step children”.
We wanted to celebrate these amazing people with a special list of 19 Bonus Daughter Gifts They’ll Love & Make You Look Good. Many of these are gifts are specifically for bonus daughters, but our other gift ideas include popular girl gifts, intellectual STEM ideas and gifts to help them become more confident young women.
I’m Always Cold Wearable Sherpa Blanket (Seen on Shark Tank)
Save your heating bill and get one of the best bonus daughter gifts, a wearable sherpa blanket. This ultra-soft, microfiber poncho was once featured on Shark Tank and now has thousands of positive reviews. It covers the entire body with a hood and pockets to ensure your favorite person stays comfortably warm during movie nights.
Bonus Daughter Necklace With Cute Gift Box
This is our favorite design of the very few specific bonus daughter necklace options. We love the interlocking hearts and the symbolism of them coming together. This elegant, sterling silver necklace comes in a beautiful gift box and message specifically for bonus daughter gifts.
Bonus Daughter Candle Holder
A cute candle holder engraved with a special message perfect for bonus daughter gifts. It says “To My Bonus Daughter, I didn’t Give You The Gift Of Life. Life Gave Me The Gift Of You”. It’s super sweet and one they can cherish your relationship every time she lights a candle.
Fairy String Lights with Clips for Hanging Photos
A fun dual-use gift, this string of fairy lights also has tiny clips to hang up all your bonus daughter’s photos. In total, it’s 17 feet long and comes with 50 LED light-up photo clips. You can hang photos, cards, artwork, or whatever hobbies she may have. This is one of our favorite bonus daughter gifts.
Bonus Daughter Gifts Braclet in Morse Code: Bad Ass
Remind your bonus daughter she is a confident young woman with this fun bracelet containing a series of beads and dashes that spell out “Bad Ass” in morse code. Only you two will know what the bracelet means and that can be a fun little, secret between you.
Light Up Colorful, Bluetooth Speaker Alarm Clock
You can never go wrong with anything that lights up for your bonus daughter gifts list. We like this changing color night light that also acts as a Bluetooth speaker and alarm clock. Perfect for playing music off your phone, this multi-use alarm clock has everything you need. Plus it has a built-in battery that will allow playback for up to 8-15 hours, perfect for outings and camping!
STEM Coding Makeblock Robot Kit
Prepare your bonus daughter for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) with this fun robot you can build together. The set comes with the hardware and software to program your robot for any number of fun tasks around the house. A great gift to teach beginning coding to young girls in the ages of 8 – 12, but really it’s perfect for every girl!
Flying Drone Disco Ball
Drones are incredibly popular right now, and this flying drone disco ball is a fun toy for any kid. From the videos and reviews, the disco ball hovers in the air and pops up anytime something comes close. Most kids make a game of chasing the floating disco ball and the infrared sensors and soft blades make sure no one is injured if they finally catch it.
Color Changing Bike Wheel Lights for Fun & Safety
Make your bike more visible and noticeably stylish with these 2-tire packs of color-changing bike wheels! If they’re someone who bikes at dusk or night, these are a fun gift to accessorize their only mode of transportation. Plus everyone in your family can get a set and ride in style together through the neighborhood!
Sphero SPRK+ Programmable Robot Ball
Another fun coding project we love to include in our bonus daughter gifts is this Sphero programmable robot ball. First, it’s super cute and can be programmed to do so many cool tasks! It’s a great opportunity to learn beginning coding like JavaScript, Scratch & Swift through the easy-to-use Sphero Edu app. We think more girls should learn STEM, and any bonus daughter that loves puzzles will absolutely enjoy this!
Gerber Multitool for the Self Reliant
Consider a practical gift with this Gerber Multitool to equip your bonus daughter with all tools she needs to thrive. They won’t always be able to carry a full toolset with them, but this multitool is prepared for any job. Easy kept in a purse, it contains 17 tools in a silver, slim design and is still heavy-duty enough for real-world use.
Scented Candles Gift Set
Scented candles are always a great gift option. We love candles because they provide a fun ambiance to any room and there is something intrinsically mesmerizing about the little flame. This gift set of 4 candles comes with popular scents such as Lavender, Spring, Fig, and Lemon. At the very least, their room will smell better.
Shiatsu Massager for Shoulders, Neck & Back
Bring the spa home with this Shiatsu shoulder massager to help with neck, shoulder, and back pain. This is incredibly relaxing and a fun pampering present that needs to be included on any bonus daughter gifts list. This gift will get lots of use and they are sure to love it!

Harry Potter Braclets & Necklace
Harry Potter is an amazing coming to age story filled with magic, witches, and adventure. These necklace and bracelets are a great gift idea for your bonus daughter to embrace that magic in her life with iconic symbolism of the golden snitch from the Harry Potter books.
Harry Potter Fun Earings
We talked about the cool necklaces and bracelets, but these Harry Potter earrings are amazing as well. Earrings are a fun accessory that can constantly be switched out based on outfits, so you can never have too many. These pieces will get many compliments for any Harry Potter fan with iconic symbology from the books such as the golden snitch, HP logo, and deathly hollows mark.
Girl’s Walkie Talkies
From our own childhood, we remember how much fun walkie-talkies were. We debated including it in this list, but cell phones lack the essential fun walkie-talkies provide. Let your bonus daughter and her friends have a blast using secret code words, special frequencies, and the ability to press to talk. They’re perfect for camping, and playing outside.
Bonus Daughter Keychain
A specially designed keychain for bonus daughters, we love the idea and words behind this message. Perfect as a little gift to go on their keyring for the house or car keys. It’s a nice little reminder that you care and something they can carry with them at all times.
Infinity Love Necklace with Birthstone Crystals
While you may not have been there for their birth, you can celebrate it with their color birthstone in this beautiful infinity love heart necklace. We love the multitude of color options and the unique shape is a fun play on the traditional heart necklace. Every girl knows their birthstone, so add this to your bonus daughter gifts list.
