would digress about how there's also so much food with everyone in mind but probably wbk that you will be FED if you enter any asian household for a function - parent child whoevs.

read a few comments and I gotta say, return gifts in india were vvv rarely ever toys. mainly stationery. and not huge amts; and (decent) stationery is also pretty inexpensive (and in great variety) there

I imagine it'd also feel better that the return gifts themselves would def be productively used

tbf we call those "return gifts" in india and it's kinda normal, altho it can be anything - usually ended up being smth like stationery (a cute book, or a small pencil/crayon set, sometimes a bit wacky. and a few chocs).
kids (me included when I was one) love good stationery (and any amt of chocs)

also to buy unicouniuni/kittykittyivy merch
