Birthday return gifts are the perfect way to thank your guests for taking the time to come to the party, while also leaving them with a token to remember it by. It's important to make them feel special an appreciated - after all, there can be no party without guests, right? This is why you need to think carefully and come up with the best birthday party return gifts, ones your guests will truly cherish.
Unique gifts ideas for kids party occasions can be hard to come by, so here are several unique ideas for return gifts which you can either adopt for your child's next birthday party, or use them as inspiration.
You can buy return gifts online or at a local store; the important thing is that they fill your guests with delight.
Pink and Blue
As far as return gift ideas go, more personalized items usually mean happier guests. While most parents usually go with gifts suitable for both girls and boys, so that everyone gets the same gift, you could surprise your guests by getting gender specific gifts.
Even though their age might vary, a jewelry set will make any girl ecstatic. You could also try a single pair of earrings, a pendant or bracelet - there are all kinds of children's jewelry to choose from.
Hair accessories are equally popular among girls of all ages, so you can't go wrong with hair bands or a set of hair clips.
As for boys, gaming accessories, wallets, caps or even smaller creative sets should do the trick. If you want the kids to feel even more special, you can take it to the next level by presenting each child with an individual birthday party favor. For example, each girl could receive a pendant or bracelet with their name spelled out, and boys could get similarly personalized wallets.
Get Crafty
Return gifts for children shouldn't always have to come from stores or web sites.
Besides being a great way to show your appreciation, DIY items are something your guests can't possibly get at any other party.
Go wild with colored origami animals, mystical creatures or even miniature castles! There are lots of instructions online, and once you get the hang of it you might even develop a hobby (if you haven't already). And if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, you can create all manner of mugs, pendants and key chains.
What better way to show your guests how much you care? In case you find all of that too complicated, you can easily make bookmarks out of cardboard, Popsicle sticks and a bit of paint, adding creative details as you see fit.
Something Yummy
Many return gift ideas for birthday party purposes are made to be long-lasting, but that's not exactly mandatory. Sometimes, a sweet touch is all it takes to invoke great memories and make them even more special.
Edible return gifts can do just that! Homemade chocolates, for example, can be made in a variety of different yet fairly simple ways. Milk, dark or white chocolate can me mixed with edible colors, flavoring oils and fondant creme to produce delicious and visually appealing edible return gifts.
However, if chocolates aren't your thing, vanilla and fondant cookies are a great option. Cake pops are another possibility - they look decorative and kids love them. You could even make pink ones for girls and blue for boys, but kids will enjoy them no matter the color.
Return gifts for birthday party occasions can be found in abundance, both online and in stores. Unfortunately, most are slightly different versions of same things, such as generic mugs, frames, fidget spinners and school supplies, which can get boring and repetitive for the kids. Stuff they see every day or aren't even interested in isn't very appealing, and won't make much of an impression either.
Whether it's return gifts for first birthday celebrations or your teen's birthday bash, these mementos make the guests feel special and the party worth remembering, so why not be one of a kind? Everyone loves a good host, and you can be sure that happy and satisfied guests will be there for the next birthday party, knowing they'll be cared for and have a good time.
