Quick answer: a good return gift is something every guest can use at their age, that is the same for everyone, and that fits your budget per child. The simplest way to get there is one identical pack per child. You can build that pack on one page, Birthday & Party Packs, where the price drops by 20% from 5 packs and 35% from 20 packs.
What makes a good return gift?
- It suits the youngest guest. If children under three are coming, avoid sets with small parts and choose soft toys or chunky pretend-play pieces instead.
- It is the same for everyone. Identical gifts avoid arguments at the door. If you want a boys' version and a girls' version, keep them at the same price.
- It gets used after the party. Something to build, draw with or play pretend with lasts longer than sweets and stickers.
- You can get enough of them. Twenty matching gifts is a stock question as much as a taste question, so check quantities before you settle on one.
Return gift ideas for ages 3 to 5
Pretend play and simple vehicles work best at this age. The DIY Kids Birthday Cake is a pretend-play cake set, which is hard to beat as a birthday favour. The Magic Burger and Fries Set, the Musical City Bus with lights and sounds, and the All 4 Penguin Puzzle suit boys and girls alike.
For a boys' pack, look at the Large Complete Police Box of die-cast vehicles or the Dearbong Vintage Train. For a girls' pack, look at the Rosie Bloom Baby Doll or the Convertible Car With Doll.
Return gift ideas for ages 6 to 8
Children this age want something to make or do. The Racing Vehicle Metal Construction Set has 146 pieces and comes with its own wrench and screwdriver, and DIY Metal Motor Construction is a similar building set. Both work well as the smaller extra gift in a pack.
As a main gift, the Magical Waterscape Water Elf Gel Kit is a craft activity where children make squishy gel figures in water, the Solar Mars Rover is a hands-on activity kit, and the Crocodile Water Gun is the one that gets used the same afternoon. For a girls' pack in this age band, look at Girls Fun Accessories.
Return gift ideas for ages 9 to 12
Older children notice when a gift is too young for them. Active toys are the safer choice: the Enthusiast Sports Boomerang Set and the Archer Aim Archery Set, which comes with suction-cup arrows and safety glasses. Both are better with some space and an adult nearby. For something quieter, DIY Pipeline Rolling is a hands-on activity set for the same age band.
Boys, girls or one pack for everyone?
One unisex pack is the least work and nobody compares. If you would rather have two versions, the party pack page has a Boy and Girl switch. Build the boys' packs, add them to your cart, then build the girls' packs. The discount counts every party gift in the cart together, so splitting the order does not cost you the higher discount.
