What to Put in Birthday Return Gift Bags: An Age-by-Age Guide

Personalised return gift bag stickers

Return gifts are the last thing guests take home — and often the first thing parents leave to the last minute.

Start with the bag, not the gift

A plain paper bag with a personalised gift bag sticker instantly looks considered. Ours come in medium and large sizes, themed to match the rest of your décor.

What to put inside, by age

Ages 1 to 3: board books, crayons, stacking cups, soft toys. Avoid small parts.
Ages 4 to 6: sticker sets, colouring books, bubbles, puzzles.
Ages 7 and up: personalised notebooks, stationery sets, luggage tags for school bags.

Add a thank you tag

A personalised thank you tag with your child’s name turns a generic bag into a keepsake. They come in sets of 10 and 20, which also helps you keep count of your guest list.

How many should you prepare?

Count your invited children, then add three or four extra. Siblings turn up, and it is better to have spares than to come up short at the door.

The practical bit: assemble bags two days before, keep them in one box near the exit, and hand them out as guests leave.
