Extra Bonus Mom Gifts
Whenever a neat gift comes up, sometimes we can’t wait and just need to add it to our list as an extra bonus gift. Even funnier when we add a bonus gift to the list of bonus mom gifts. Here are a few that we’ve come up with.
Make your siblings jealous when you give this to your bonus mom. It's actually a vanilla coconut candle, but no one will be paying attention while laughing at the phrase, "My Favorite Child Gave Me This Candle."
This funny gift is actually a pretty functional acacia wood holder, as it'll support a family portion of coffee mugs and wine glasses. However, our editors really love this as a fun conversation piece as your bonus mom shows it off to her friends over book club and wine nights.
