Navratri is a festival of devotion and celebration, where the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped with great reverence. On the eighth or ninth day, devotees conclude their fast with Kanya Pujan by offering food and gifts to young girls, symbolizing the divine feminine energy. This year, Navami will be celebrated on October 1, 2025, and many families are already thinking about what gifts to present during the rituals.

Traditionally, utensils are given, but children are often delighted with practical and fun items. If your budget is between ₹50 to ₹100 per child, here are some thoughtful and cheerful gift ideas that kids will love:

1. Chocolate and Toffee Packs

Sweet treats are always a favorite! You can create small combo packs of chocolates, toffees, or even add chips. A mix of varieties will make the kids even happier.

2. Cute Purses or Handbags

A small, colorful purse or handbag is a wonderful gift for little girls. They will not only adore it but also use it in daily life. You can find single pieces or even sets well within the budget.

3. Hair Clips and Hair Bands

Most girls enjoy dressing up. A set of vibrant hair clips, rubber bands, or hairbands makes for a lovely and useful present. Plenty of stylish and affordable options are available in the market.

4. Drawing Books and Colors

For children who love art, a drawing book with crayons or sketch pens is a perfect gift. It encourages creativity while being fun and educational.
