Personalized Custom Bonus Mom Shirt with Family Photo

This bonus mom shirt is a custom family photo tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie that says it plainly: BONUS on top, a picture of her with the kids in the middle, and MOM underneath in big white letters.

It’s a way for stepkids, and the partner who loves her, to say thank you out loud.

Upload the family photo

Who gives a bonus mom gift like this?

Most often it’s Dad, helping the kids pick a Mother’s Day present for the woman who stepped in and stayed. They’ve given her a candle and a card before, and this year they want her to know they mean the word mom.

Kids, with Dad’s help

Dad handles checkout while the kids choose the picture, which means the Mother’s Day gift really comes from them.

Her husband

If you want your wife to know the kids see her as their mom, a park photo of the three of them says it better than you could.

Stepkids done with candles

Instead of another jar candle, she gets the piggyback picture where she’s laughing the hardest.

The family on the wedding weekend

When she officially joins the family, wearing it at the rehearsal dinner shows how glad the kids are she’s in.

The bride’s bonus mom

She gets her own spot in the getting-ready photos, since the shirt says exactly who she is to the bride.

Start her bonus mom tee

The photo makes it

The sample was taken in a sunny park. A curly-haired girl rides piggyback, a boy has both arms locked around the woman’s waist, and she’s laughing hard enough to tip over.

Any family photo shirt is only as good as its picture, so pick the one of your crew that feels like that. Teens and grown kids work just as well as toddlers.

We print the photo in grayscale, which gives it the feel of a vintage mom shirt and keeps the white lettering bright. BONUS and MOM are fixed; only the photo changes.

Personalize her shirt

Choose tee, long sleeve, crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie and her size.
Pick a shirt color she’ll actually wear.
Upload your family photo, which replaces the sample in the park.
If the picture is busy, tell us whose faces matter most. Example: park photo, keep all three of us.

Saying mom out loud, on a shirt she can wear

Stepmom gifts in stores are vague or a little awkward
Mother’s Day cards rarely have a spot for a bonus mom
She shows up to every school play and rarely gets thanked out loud

Bonus moms seldom hear the kids they help raise say the word mom out loud. BONUS on top and MOM underneath in big white letters frame a grayscale photo of her with the kids, so they say it in a way she can actually wear.

Bonus mom shirt FAQ

Can it say STEP MOM instead?

No, this design always reads BONUS MOM. Only the photo is personalized.

Is it a good gift from a husband if the kids are from his first marriage?

That’s exactly who it’s for. Many orders come from dads shopping with the kids.

The kids love a cartoon princess. Can she be in the picture?

Not if she’s clearly visible. We don’t print characters, logos, brand names, team marks, celebrities, rappers or other famous people. Send family photos you own; orders with that content are canceled and refunded.

More ideas for her are in mom shirts and our Mother’s Day shirts.
