Return gifts do not need to be expensive to be a hit. Children remember something they can use or play with the next day. Here are 25 ideas that each cost less than Rs.100, grouped by the kind of child they suit, plus a few tips on buying for a whole party.
Stationery that gets used
Stationery is the safest return gift for school-age children because parents welcome it too.

Tips for buying return gifts
- Match the age. Fidget toys and pull-back cars suit younger children; stationery kits and puzzle cubes suit 7 and up. Avoid small parts for children under three.
- Mix designs, not value. Assorted designs at the same price stop squabbles over who got what.
- Order early. Allow a few extra days for delivery before the party date.
- Combine for free delivery. Delivery is free on orders above Rs.299, so buying for a whole class usually ships free.
