Bonus sons are a newer, and much-preferred term to the classic stepson. It removes the negative stereotypes popular in Disney movies and shows they’re a bonus to your family. We really love this contemporary term and found some amazing bonus son gifts to show how special they are!
Many of these gifts are a thoughtful way to show you care, specific to bonus sons. However, we also added some classic son gifts to give you more options. These are clever gifts we know our sons would enjoy and hopefully will make your gift process a little easier!
Bonus Son Metal Bracelet
This black metal/gold bracelet shows your bonus son that they mean the world to you. We’ve seen this as a great gift idea for weddings when two families are coming together as well as Christmas gifts. The meaningful inscription reads “To My Bonus Son, Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you know”.
Dash Mini Waffle Maker
Made famous by Tik Tok videos, the Dash Mini Waffle Maker has made a significant splash with its individual waffle-making capabilities as well as the wide assortment of other culinary uses a mini-waffle iron can do. This 4″ nonstick cooking surface is great for first apartments or college life as you can cook everything from eggs to bacon to hashbrowns on this thing. There are literally thousands of recipes and we’ve never seen so many positive reviews for a product before!
Bonus Son Gifts Rope Bracelet
These tactical-style rope bracelets are extremely popular among hikers and outdoorsy people. As the rope can be undone and useful for a multitude of purposes. The writing says “To My Bonus Son, Never forget that I love you, I hope you believe in yourself as much as I believe in you”. This is one more of our more cost-effective bonus son gifts.
I Couldn’t Pick A Better Son – Guitar Pick
For the musician in your family, we love this simple guitar pick for our bonus son gifts. The inscription “I couldn’t pick a better son” is such a fun play on words. While not a main gift, we think this is a great surprise gift or stocking stuffer that shows you care about their interests.
Leather Bonus Son Journal
A leather notebook is a traditional gift for a son and this engraving makes it even more special! While the writing doesn’t specifically say bonus son gifts, we don’t think it needs to. There is also a personalization option to add whatever writing you’d like to the cover. Where they could use it as a journal, songwriting book, poetry, or general notebook.
Bonus Son Graduation Pocket Watch
A pocket watch is a classic graduation, wedding, and special occasion gift for any son. While this watch doesn’t specifically call out bonus son gifts, the caring intent is there for any son. This pocket watch comes with a necklace chain and a pocket chain with its own quality gift box all in one!
Engraved Bonus Son Money Clip
This RFID blocking engraved money clip holds a special message from moms to their bonus sons. The easy-to-use money clip is a minimalist design that’s ideal for carrying credit cards and IDs, while the clip itself can be used for cash. If wallets aren’t their thing, this is one of the more thoughtful happy birthday bonus son gifts.
Personalized Tactical Camping Knife
This is quite the multi-tool tactical knife with bottle opener, LED Light, glass breaker, seatbelt cutter, fire starter, and of course folding knife. We love this gift idea for bonus son’s graduations, deployment, birthdays or general gifts for outdoor enthusiasts. The best part is the engraving “To my son, never forget that I love you forever”.
Engraved Bifold Dear Son Wallet
This faux leather wallet is a great happy birthday bonus son gift because it provides the usefulness of a wallet, but contains an endearing quote showing you care. It’ll something they’ll always have with them and provides a professional look to carry their money around. We love this gift for graduation gifts, sweet 16, and celebration holidays!
Antique Compass for Bonus Sons
This vintage compass is a great gift for bonus sons who appreciate classic gifts. It comes with a case and engraved compass that reads “My Son, Wherever your journey in life may take you, I pray you’ll always be safe. Enjoy the ride, and never forget your way back home. I’m always there for you”.

It’ll give them great audio quality while they call back home or create videos on their computer. With so many positive ratings, this is one of the best cost-effective USB microphones are the market.
Spikebll Game Set
One of the best games to play outdoors with friends, Spikeball is a miniature version of volleyball played with 4 people. Make going outside again a fun adventure with this easy-to-play yard game that combines volleyball and foursquare. Your bonus son will have a blast playing this with their friends!
LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Millennium Falcon – Expert Level
One of the coolest bonus son gifts if they like Star Wars and Legos is this 7,541 piece Millennium Falcon set. This will keep them busy for days as they recreate the most iconic starship in the Star Wars universe. This is a highly detailed lego figure, so it’s ideally for bonus sons who are a bit older and have the patience to put this beast together.
Hovering Light Ball
An oddly satisfying bonus son gift, this hoving light ball is super fun. It’s simple in nature as it hovers and lights up, but the way it moves through a room is highly entertaining. We recommend watching the video and seeing all the fun moves you can recreate!
Roomba Vacuum Wi-Fi Cleaner
We’re assuming your bonus son is like every other one on the planet and doesn’t exactly vacuum their room all the time. So we really loved this bonus son gift as the Roomba will clean their room for them. It comes with a Roomba, charging dock and the app can be downloaded to set specific cleaning times or activate it whenever you need to do a quick clean. It’s for them, but also really for you. Especially great for moving into college or a new apartment!
Bowflex Adjustable Dumbbells
One of the more practical bonus son gifts on our list is these Bowflex Adjustable Dumbbells. We love the multiple uses of dumbbells but what makes these so great is they’re adjustable. Each dumbbell can adjust the weight so you don’t need to buy an entire gym for your son that likes to work out. It’s practical, space-efficient, and something they’ll use for a long time.
