"Otona no Otoshidama" (insurance product)
“大人のお年玉” is the name of an insurance product put out by ING Life Insurance Company (アイエヌジー生命保険株式会社) in Japan.
I don't think the name should stand alone in English since it's the name of a product.
If translated, I believe the English equivalent should be in parentheses after the Japanese. Please see below websites:

Comment: "Thanks for all the research, Joyce. You really earned your KudoZ points :)
The translation I was doing was indeed for ING and it looks like you are right in that "otona no otoshidama" is an insurance product offered by them through Risona bank. I have since submitted the translation, but will recommend it remain as per the Japanese ("Otona no Otoshidama"). Thank you!"

Resona's personal pension insurance
If this is related to life insurance in specific, then it is probably the name of personal pension insurance (financial product) that was jointly produced and issued by ING Life and Resona in 2005. You might also want to do a search under "大人のお年玉 , ＩＮＧ."
The original meaning of "Otoshidama" is as everyone has said "treat" usually in the form of money to be given to children, and so Resona is trying to state that this financial product is a treat for yourself. This product seems to be variable annuity, please read the link.

PS. In Japan, sometimes "New Year lucky bags" are also called "Otonano otoshidama." In relation to my former explanation on Resona product, it could also mean that 大人のお年玉 is referred to personal pension insurance in general, but it depends on the context.

New Year's gift for adults
As you probably already know, お年玉 is a New Year's gift that kids in Japan receive (usually money). Well when adult's get it, they specifically refer to it as 大人のお年玉.
*** I've also seen it referred to as any "unexpected gift (to adults)", any time of year. My second source is a savings account advertisement so it may be closer to your life insurance topic.

If it is indeed a specific product, I agree with Joyce in that it should use the exact product name. It was not specified in the OP, however.

Krzysztof Łesyk
: Trying to read 大人 as だいひと and お年玉 as おねんだま shows lack of even the most basic Japanese language skills. Completely wrong and, as Katalin-san says, nonensical.
