Gender-neutral return gifts: one pack for boys and girls
Choose gifts every child uses the same way, such as colouring, clay, a card game or a glass water bottle, and one bag for everyone, such as the multicolour bag. Some items come in boys' and girls' designs. You don't have to split them, but you can: add the count in the Special Instructions box at checkout.
Key takeaways
- Gifts built around an activity, such as colouring, clay or a card game, suit every child the same way.
- 27 of our 173 products come in designs that ask for a boys and girls count; the rest don't.
- If you do want a split, add the count in the Special Instructions box, such as '20 packs for boys, 15 packs for girls'.
- Most items come in assorted colours, so packs naturally mix colours without any pink or blue plan.
Gender-neutral return gifts make a mixed party simpler: one pack, one order, one box at the door, and no child holding a bag they didn't want. The trick is to choose gifts that every child uses the same way, such as colouring, clay or a card game, rather than ones that come in a pink and a blue version. This guide covers what works, when a split still makes sense, and how assorted colours behave in our packs. To build a pack as you read, open Build Your Pack set to ₹150.
What are gender-neutral return gifts?
Gifts built around an activity rather than a look. A colouring book is coloured the same way by every child, a game of Uno is played the same way, and a clay set ends up as whatever the child makes. These gifts don't need a boys' version and a girls' version.
| Gift | Why it suits every child |
|---|---|
| Colouring books with colours | The activity is the gift; designs vary |
| Clay sets (air clay, card clay, bucket clay) | Children make their own thing |
| Card and board games (Uno, dominoes, noughts and crosses) | Played with friends and family |
| Glass water bottles | Used every school day; colours are assorted |
| 8 inch LCD writing pad | Draw, write and wipe clean |
| Magic water book | Paint with water, use again |
Why skip the pink and blue split?
Because it causes more problems than it solves. Siblings and cousins at the same party come in every combination, some children like the colour they are "not supposed to", and a split needs two counts that have to be right on the day. One pack for everyone avoids all of that. It also keeps the order simple: Build Your Pack makes one pack design per order, and a single design is one website order.
Which of our products come in boys' and girls' designs?
In the Celebration Gifting catalogue on 7 October 2026, 27 of our 173 products have a note asking for a boys and girls count, because their printed designs differ. They are mostly stationery sets, pencil boxes, pouches, bags and backpacks, plus some steel water bottles and colour kits.
You don't have to split them. If you want to, add the count in the Special Instructions box at checkout, such as "20 packs for boys, 15 packs for girls"; the box takes 200 characters. If you leave it blank, designs are sent based on availability. The contents of every pack stay the same either way; only the printed design changes.
What fits in a ₹150 pack for everyone?
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 | The activity |
|---|---|
| Uno, a pocket colouring book and stickers | A card game, then colouring |
| Noughts and crosses and a big colouring book | A game for two, then quiet time |
| Air clay set, a changeable pencil and stickers | Model, draw, decorate |
| Dominoes and a fancy eraser | A family game |
| Nice glass water bottle and a big colouring book | Something to use, something to do |
Which bag suits both boys and girls?
Any of them. Our nine ₹25 printed bags are unicorn, space, flower, dinosaur, jungle, Happy Birthday, multicolour, Cocomelon and carnival, and any of them can go to any child; pick the one that matches the party. If you'd rather not think about it, the multicolour bag has no characters at all, and the Happy Birthday bag simply says Happy Birthday. Our theme bag guide shows each design.
How do assorted colours work?
Most items in our catalogue come in assorted colours, sent based on availability. The glass water bottles in our photos, for example, come in cream, blue, green and pink. You can't choose a colour for each child, which turns out to be useful: colours end up mixed across the packs, without anyone planning pink for some and blue for others.
What if most guests are boys, or most are girls?
The same advice holds. Choose the pack for the party's theme and the children's ages, not for the majority. A dinosaur party can have a dinosaur bag for every guest, and a unicorn party a unicorn bag, with an activity inside that every child enjoys. The few children in the minority then get exactly what everyone else gets.
When should you order?
Two weeks before the party is safe for every city. We dispatch within 2 to 3 business days, then delivery takes 1 to 2 days within Hyderabad and 3 to 5 days elsewhere. Our 3-week countdown shows the last safe order days.
What should the thank-you card say?
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 "Thanks for making my birthday so much fun! Love, Aryan".
Which combos suit every child?
These two combos are built around games and making things. The Mini Smiles Pack pairs a glass water bottle with a noughts and crosses game; the Sparkle & Shape Hamper has a magic water book, a noughts and crosses game and a small card clay set.
Both come in a Happy Birthday bag. For a unicorn party with boys among the guests, see unicorn return gifts; for boy-girl twins, see return gifts for twins.
