5 Unique and Useful Birthday Return Gift Ideas for Kid’s Party – Birthday Parties are the most loved and special occasion for children and their parents alike. A lot of planning goes into organizing even a small birthday bash for your child. Children wait a whole year to celebrate their birthdays in style and as per their latest fantasy. While organizing a birthday party for your child, planning the birthday return gifts take a major time and energy.
From the venue to food, dress to the theme, we keep a close watch on each and every aspect of Kid’s Birthday Party. However, when it comes to birthday return gift ideas, we stick to the same old usual gifts. It is time to change and give some unique and exciting return gift for the birthday parties.
Planning a Birthday Party
Children love gifts, everyone loves gifts, or let’s put it this way – Who doesn’t love gifts? We all do, isn’t it! But, when it comes to returning gifts we habitually stick to the same cliché choices. Return Gifts are the most ‘important’ part of organizing a Birthday Party and should be taken very seriously. A good and thoughtful birthday return gift imprints a happy memory for children.
Also, the return gifts should be planned as per age and utility aspects. There was a time when I had a pile of tiffin boxes and water bottles as return gifts. I had to give away most of those, used some as fridge containers and a few packed to be used later.
Before you plan a birthday party the first thing that goes into consideration is – the Budget. Once the budget is decided, next comes the theme, venue, food, and return gifts. It takes a lot to throw a good party and considering the time involved parents also go for the birthday party organizers or event organizers. There are different packages event organizers offer depending on your budget and requirements. Starting from the party’s theme to balloons, cake to accessories, and special attractions to the food menu, everything is taken care of by organizers. A birthday party for kids is complete only when all guests, especially the cute little ones go smiling.
Unique and most Useful Birthday Return Gift Ideas –
One should ask self – What is the best return gift for a birthday? There are various options available in the market for return gifts, but one must think of out-of-the-box ideas to bring a difference. Cliche gifts are either stacked or passed on to someone else, think of something that will imprint a memory or bring value to them. Here are a couple of ideas for birthday return gifts for kids under budget.
1. Number Finger Puppets –

Suitable for kids aged four and above, this is one of the most famous games purchased as a return gift and is also very useful. By the age of four, children learn basic addition and subtraction, and this numbered finger puppet game makes mathematics fascinating. Imagine wearing these tiny puppets on your fingers and adding/deducting easy numbers. It is one of the best ways to teach kids while having loads of fun.
2. Stationery Sets –
The most appealing thing for kids – is quirky stationery sets. Nothing appeals to children more than a brand new shiny stationery set. Make sure to use the right kind of materials and products. Recently my child has received a few environment-friendly pencils which contain seeds in the end tip. Once you are done with your pencil, plant the tip downwards in the soil. The seed will sprout into a plant with care. Trust me, kids love gardening.
3. Alphabet or Number Tracing –
I highly recommend ‘wooden toys’ for kids aged between 2 – 4 years of age. It helps children in memorizing things using their sensory memory. Learning the 26 alphabet becomes so easy when you have fun to learn toys, like the one from Skola Toys. Skola Alphabet Tracing Toy. Also available in upper-case or lower-case alphabets.
As the return gift is highly dependent on the budget, the items should be useful for the children and age-specific too. The birthday return gift ideas for 500 or less have a huge range of wonderful toys and other items to choose from.
4. Colour Learning Toys –
When my daughter was 3, she received a color-matching toy as a return gift for birthday from one of her friend’s party. It made color matching and learning so much fun for us. We matched the shapes and colors just by fitting the right pieces in the right places. Again, a wooden toy, to help children learn gripping and fine motor skills.
Return gifts for kids birthday party should be useful for all the children attending the birthday bash. It is perfectly alright if you have to segregate the gifts as per age and keep gifts gender-neutral.

5. Puzzle Games –
We all love challenges and the popularity of Puzzle games is proof of that love. However, the key is picking the ‘RIGHT’ kind of puzzle based on the age and learning criteria of children. Easy wooden block puzzles of Shapes & Sizes are perfect for kids aged 2+. For 3+ kids – puzzles that challenge their mind, like matching the opposites, or Jigsaw puzzles, sequencing are perfect gifts.
Final Note –
Before selecting the return gifts, remember that this is the real take from your birthday party. Hence, must have a long-lasting effect. A thoughtful and useful gift is always appreciated. Toys are just not a pretty piece of art and craft, it also has the potential to teach and educate children. Read Learning is Fun with Educational Toys.
So, next time when you are planning a birthday celebration for your child – make the right choice of return gifts for the kid’s birthday. Hope you like these birthday return gift ideas, please share the post with your friends and leave a comment for us as your feedback.
