For a class, send something every child can use at school, such as stationery, a colouring book or a small craft kit, packed flat enough to fit in a school bag. Packs start at ₹150 per child. Order by Friday 30 October, so the packs are dispatched before Diwali. ## Key takeaways - Children's Day is on Saturday 14 November 2026, so ask the class teacher which day the school will mark it. - Stationery, colouring books and small craft kits suit a whole class and fit flat in a school bag. - A class is usually 30 children: at ₹150 a pack, that is ₹4,750 including delivery. - Order by Friday 30 October, so the packs leave before Diwali and reach you by 9 November. Children's Day gifts for students work best when every child in the class can use them at school the next week: a pen set, a colouring book, a small clay kit. Children's Day falls on Saturday 14 November 2026, and this guide covers what to send for a class of 30, what fits a ₹150 pack and a school bag, and when to order so the packs arrive before the Diwali week. You can put a pack together as you read in [Build Your Pack set to ₹150](/buildyourpack/150). ## When is Children's Day 2026? Saturday 14 November 2026. [Children's Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Day_(India)) marks the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, and 14 November has been India's official Children's Day since 1957. Because the date falls on a Saturday this year, ask the class teacher which day the school will mark it, and plan for the packs to reach you a day before that. ## What are good Children's Day gifts for students? Things every child can use at school: stationery, colouring books and small craft kits. They suit boys and girls alike, work for every child in a mixed class, and get used long after the day itself. Based on Celebration Gifting orders, stationery, paint kits and books are among the items parents reorder most and children use most often, which makes them a safe choice for 30 children you may not know well. | Type of gift | From our catalogue | |---|---| | Pens and pencils | Unicorn gel pen, 10 in 1 pen, bubble stamp pen, changeable pencil | | Colouring | Small colouring book with colours, pocket colouring book, wax crayons, Minion colour sketch set | | Craft | Small card clay set, DIY diamond kit, craft punch | | Complete sets | Stationery set, metal pencil box with pencil, eraser and sharpener | If you are a teacher buying for your own class, the same plan works. Our minimum order is 5 packs and there is no maximum. ## What fits in a school bag? Flat, light items. The children carry the packs home in their school bags, and our ₹25 printed gift bags are paper and measure 8 by 10 inches, so a bag holding a colouring book, a pen set or a stationery set slides in without bending. Bulky gifts such as lunch boxes, large bottles and piggybanks are better kept for a birthday party, where children carry the bag in their hands. ## What fits in a ₹150 Children's Day pack? A ₹150 pack holds up to ₹125 of products and a ₹25 printed bag. Each pairing below fits; we checked the totals against catalogue prices on 7 October 2026. | Pairing | Good for | |---|---| | Unicorn gel pen, a small colouring book and a fancy eraser | Younger classes who still love colouring | | Small card clay set, a pocket colouring book, wax crayons and a smiley stamp | A craft afternoon at home | | DIY diamond kit, a 10 in 1 pen and stickers | Older children who like detailed work | | Metal pencil box (with pencil, eraser and sharpener) and stickers | Something used every school day | | Scratch note book, a bubble stamp pen and a slapband | A fun pack for any age | Most items come in assorted colours and designs, sent based on availability. If you need a set number of packs for boys and girls, add the count in the Special Instructions box at checkout. ## How many packs, and what will it cost? In the class orders we pack, a class is usually 30 children, so 30 packs covers it. Ask the class teacher for the exact count, including children who joined recently. Delivery is charged once per order; as of October 2026 it is ₹250 under ₹5,000, ₹150 from ₹5,000 to ₹9,999, and free from ₹10,000. | Packs | At ₹150 a pack | Delivery | Total | |---|---|---|---| | 30 (one class) | ₹4,500 | ₹250 | ₹4,750 | | 60 (two sections) | ₹9,000 | ₹150 | ₹9,150 | ## When should you order for Children's Day? Order by Friday 30 October. That gets your packs dispatched by Wednesday 4 November, before Diwali on Sunday 8 November, and delivered by Friday 6 November in Hyderabad or Monday 9 November in other cities. We dispatch within 2 to 3 business days, then delivery takes 1 to 2 days within Hyderabad and 3 to 5 days elsewhere. The latest safe days are Thursday 5 November for Hyderabad and Monday 2 November for other cities, if the school celebrates on Friday 13 November. Those dates leave no room for Diwali holidays, so treat 30 October as the real deadline. Our [3-week countdown](/blog/when-to-order-return-gifts) explains how we work out these dates. ## Can each pack carry your child's name? Yes, in two ways. Every pack includes a printed thank-you card, and our team confirms its message with you on WhatsApp after you order; keep it to 160 characters, such as "Happy Children's Day from Aarav, Class 2B". For something bigger, the customised theme bag is printed on one side with any text you choose. It costs more than the ₹25 bags, so keep the products to ₹110 or less for a ₹150 pack. ## Which combos work for a class? If you would rather not pick items one by one, these two combos are built around a craft or colouring activity, and both stay flat enough for a school bag: **Return gift combo:** [Smart Play Pack](https://www.celebrationgifting.in/combos/smart-play-pack), ₹190 per pack **Return gift combo:** [Doodle & Drive Pack](https://www.celebrationgifting.in/combos/doodle-drive-pack), ₹230 per pack The Smart Play Pack pairs a small card clay set with an 8 inch LCD writing pad, and the Doodle & Drive Pack pairs a two-sided colouring book with a car pushback keychain. Both come in a Happy Birthday bag, so swap it for a bag without birthday words, such as the multicolour, space or jungle bag, after tapping Select Combo.
