Wedding season in Pakistan is the busiest, happiest time of the year for families. Mehndi, baraat, walima: one invitation after another, and the children are just as excited as the adults. They dress up, dance, run around with their cousins, and want to feel every bit as special as the grown-ups.
Whether you're looking for a gift for a niece or nephew, a small present for the children in the wedding family, or something that makes your own little one feel ready for the big day, here are some ideas that children love.
1. A perfume of their very own
Every wedding morning, children watch the adults get ready, and the moment the perfume comes out, they want some too. A gentle kids' perfume lets them join in without wearing an adult fragrance that is far too strong for them.
Our 50ml kids' perfumes are made for exactly this:
- Princess: a sweet, soft scent for little girls in their mehndi and baraat outfits
- Twinkle: a dreamy scent for girls who love anything that sparkles
- Little Captains: a fresh, clean scent for boys in their kurta and waistcoat
- Hello Teddy's: a warm, cosy scent that suits boys and girls alike
Each bottle comes in a gift-ready box, so there's no wrapping to worry about between functions.
2. Matching outfits for siblings and cousins
Coordinated colours for brothers, sisters and cousins look lovely in wedding photos. A matching dupatta or waistcoat is a small touch that children feel very proud of.
3. Bangles, hair accessories and little extras
For girls, a set of glass bangles, a pretty hair clip or a paranda to match the outfit makes the mehndi night extra special. Small, inexpensive and always loved.
4. A mehndi design just for them
Many children wait all year for their mehndi. Ask the mehndi artist to do a small, simple design for the little ones too. It's a gift they'll show off for days.
5. A wedding "goodie box" for the children
If you're part of the wedding family, a small box for each child at the function is a sweet idea: a few sweets, a small toy and a little gift such as a kids' perfume. It keeps them happy (and busy) during the long evenings.
6. A money gift with a personal touch
Giving a little money to the children at weddings is a lovely tradition. Put it in a colourful envelope with their name on it and a short note. Children often keep these envelopes long after the money is spent.
Tips for gifting at weddings
- Choose gift-ready items. Wedding days are busy. A present that comes already boxed saves time.
- Keep it child-friendly. For fragrances, choose something light and made for children, and let an adult help with the spray.
- Order early. Deliveries get busy during wedding season, especially in December. Order a week or two ahead of the function.
How to use kids' perfume on a wedding day
One or two light sprays on the clothes is plenty. Keep perfume away from the face and eyes. On delicate or embroidered fabric, spray a little on the inside lining instead to avoid marks. If your child has sensitive skin, test a little on clothing first.
