How Many Return Gifts Should You Buy for a Class Party?
One of the most common questions parents ask before a class party: how many return gifts do I actually need? Buy too few and someone goes home empty-handed; buy too many and you've overspent. Here's a simple guide to getting the quantity right — and saving money while you do it.
The simple rule: headcount + 10–15% spares
Order one return gift per invited child, then add 10–15% extra. Spares cover surprise siblings, plus-ones, last-minute classmates and the occasional damaged item. For a class of 30, that means ordering around 33–35 gifts.
Quick reference by class size
Class of 20 → order ~23. Class of 30 → order ~34. Class of 40 → order ~45. If your child wants to include a parallel section or a few neighbourhood friends, count them in before adding the buffer.
How to save: buy in bulk
Per-gift cost drops sharply when you buy in bulk. Instead of 35 individual gifts, a few bulk return-gift packs cover the whole class at around ₹39 per child — and arrive coordinated, so every gift looks the same and feels fair.
Don't forget the teachers
A small extra gift for the class teacher (and any assistants) is a thoughtful touch that parents and schools appreciate. Add two or three to your order.
