Gift giving on birthdays is a long-standing tradition that celebrates milestones, strengthens relationships, and brings friends and family closer. Whether it is an emotional gesture or a formal one, it helps affirm the sense of value you hold for the recipient.
But finding the right gift can become overwhelming quickly, and no one would want that stress to affect what should be a memorable gifting experience. So, we’ve put together a simple guide that explores some great ideas for birthday party gifts including ideas for return gifts and host appreciation gifts.
Birthday Gift Ideas by Age Group
The best birthday gift is one that is thoughtful and reflects the birthday boy/girl’s individual personality, preferences, and interests. Since these things vary with age, here are some ideas categorized according to age to help spark your inspiration.
Kids’ Birthday Gifts
Birthdays are precious reminders of how special children are to their parents and friends. If you are visiting a newborn, then our Baby Bath & Cuddle Hamper is just the perfect gift and comes with essential oils for that soothing care. Or the Carvaan Mini Kids with MIC for slightly older kids with a penchant for music.
Teen Birthday Gifts
The experience of growing into adulthood is a once-in-a-lifetime event, which is why the teen’s birthday gift should be exciting and reflect that journey. Our Charm & Cherish bundle comes with a personalized photo frame and treats for the teenage girl or Marvel Playing Cards for that superhero lover are likely to reflect that sentiment.
Birthday Gifts for Adults
Celebrating birthdays as an adult is a very different thing from what it is during childhood. With life being hectic and responsibilities piling up, it can mean a great deal to your best friend, spouse, or relative.
1. Check out Self Care Hamper by Masaba for someone who enjoys their self-care routine or the Mighty Celebration Trunk for the foodie in them.
2. For the fashion-lovers, show some extra love with gifts like our Chequered Cashmere Stole or the Ikat Striped Cashmere Stole.
Birthday Return Gift Ideas for Every Age
You’ve hosted a wonderful party, and you want your guests to know how much you appreciate them coming to celebrate with you. A great way to do this is with birthday return gifts.
Kids’ Birthday Return Gifts
Kids love receiving gifts and the more kids that get them, the merrier it is. Of course, you don’t have to break into a bank or rack your brain to come up with birthday return gift ideas for kids. Candy and snacks are always a hit with children.
Birthday Return Gifts for Adults
It often takes a lot of schedule juggling and battling with traffic for your adult friends to make it to the birthday party. But you know how much you mean to them when they don’t miss it. Some beautiful, but budget-friendly gifts could be our Marble Coasters with Lotus Mother of Pearl Inlay, Mug Jungle Lore Dark Blue, or Mug Mughal Garden Dark Green.
If you want to make the gift more heartfelt and personal, including a thank you card along with the gift will make it complete.
Host Appreciation Gifts
If you are wondering what to give the host, then we’ve got you covered. These gifts are not overly expensive, and they make delectable snacking options and cozy decorative pieces for your beloved hosts.
What to Gift the Host:
Pamper your hosts with curated baskets of chocolates, snacks, and specialty items that are a sure way to tickle their tastebuds and are a great snacking choice when they need to indulge in some guilty pleasure.
If your hosts are coffee or tea lovers, this is the perfect chance to make their mornings and evenings extra special with premium blends.
3. Chocolate Hamper:
For hosts who love to indulge in a bit of decadent pastime, a chocolate gift basket is a great choice.
If you want to create a lasting impression, then gifting self-care items and jewelry is a beautiful gesture of appreciation.
Birthday Gifting for Special Situations
While birthdays are special occasions, there are times when they mark a significant point in their life and deserve gifts that are uniquely suited.
1. Surprise Birthday Parties: Think out of the box. Surprise them with something pleasantly unexpected.
2. Milestone Birthday Celebrations: Think of gifts that celebrate these unique transitions in their life.
3. Festive Season Birthdays: If the birthday falls on a special day like Christmas or New Year, you can always shop for both occasions.
How Much to Spend on Birthday Gifts
Gift giving is an act of expressing appreciation and when it’s someone we truly cherish, it’s easy to find ourselves going overboard with the budget or getting lost in a myriad of options.
Ideally, what you spend on a birthday gift shouldn’t feel like a financial burden on you. So, take these things into consideration when buying your gifts.
