bonus gift

Unexpected extra present

A bonus gift is something extra given free with a purchase or as part of a promotion.

The phrase is technically redundant—gifts are already unearned—but emphasizes the unexpected or additional nature: Order now and receive a bonus gift with your subscription.

Common in marketing and infomercials.
