Blue JayYou could, however, say I bought a toy for you.
So these would be the possible sentences:
I bought/brought you a toy

I bought/brought your son a toy.
I bought/brought a toy for your son.

Blue JayYes, they are all correct.
I am glad. Thank you very much.

Lastly, would the same apply to these?:

I bought dinner for you.

I am assuming "yes", but would like your confirmation!
