Birthday gift guide for kids under 3,000 taka

You can buy a birthday gift a child will love for under 3,000 taka: a doll gift set, a magnetic building set or a kids' print camera all fit the budget. Here are our picks by price, with free gift wrap and delivery across Bangladesh.

Birthday invitations come quickly, and every party means another present. A good gift does not have to be expensive. It has to suit the child's age and give them something to do, not just something to look at.

Two gifts, free delivery

Buying for two parties in the same month? Two gifts together usually pass 3,000 taka, and then delivery is free. A doll set and a block set, for example, cover a girl and a boy of similar age.

Wrap it and add a note

Gift wrap is free on every order. Tick the box in your bag and write a short message at checkout, and the gift arrives ready to hand over.

Order early

Delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days inside Dhaka and 2 to 4 days elsewhere in Bangladesh. Order a few days before the party so there is no rush. You can pay cash on delivery or by bKash.
