Rocket Party favours are available at both online stores and offline stores. Given the popularity of these items today, it will not be difficult for you to find rocket party favours.

Visit a mall closest to you and look for rocket party favours at a gift store or stationery shop. These days there are gift stores in almost every nook and cranny of a city, so finding rocket party favours won’t be difficult. You can also Google search for the nearest gift shop to find what you need.

Online stores always come to our rescue when we don’t find what we are looking for around us. Rocket party favours are no exception! Websites like Amazon, Flipkart, eBay, etc. are some of the places you can shop for rocket party favours. There are other gifting sites too where you may find favours of your choice in India.

If you are planning a rocket themed party and require rocket party favours, we are here to reduce your burden of searching for these items. In the list below, we present a few rocket party favours that are perfect for gifting to your guests. Choose the one you like the best.

This rocket launcher with three foam rockets makes for the perfect rocket party favour. It is lightweight and safe, and what’s best is that it can keep children occupied for quite a while. All you need to do is jump, hop, or stomp on it, and the rockets are launched. They can fly up to 60 feet. The harder you jump, the higher they go. The set is durable and makes for a perfect play item. Buy a single pack for INR 599 on Amazon. Gift combo and mega gift combo packs are also available at various prices.

A very interesting rocket party favour, these LED light arrow rockets are just perfect for gifting purposes. These rockets can be launched into the air with the help of a rubber band, and as they are released, small leaf-shaped objects get expanded from the rocket and the rocket starts to glow (thanks to the LED lights). The rockets can go up to three to four meters and look beautiful as they glow in the dark. It is pretty easy to use these rockets and can be done easily by children. A set of 10 rockets is available for INR 399 on Amazon.

What if you could let your little one launch rockets at a tender age? Though not for real, these stomp rockets could get your LO to launch rockets and also set the mood of your party. These stomp rockets make excellent party favours too. Pretty simple to use – all you need to do is squeeze the bulb lightly and the rockets are launched in the air! These rockets can go up to 30 feet and sometimes more, that too without a battery! One packet with 10 foam rockets and two hand-squeeze launch bulbs are available for INR 1,123 on Amazon.

Party favours should be such that not only look good and match your party theme but also turn out to be useful. So, how about gifting something to the little ones that can help them in studies? Well, these outer space-themed pencils can make the perfect party favours! These wooden pencils have an eraser on the top and have the solar system printed on it. They look good and are pretty functional too. One packet consists of 24 pencils and is available for INR 1,428 on Amazon.

Birthday parties are incomplete without balloons. Don’t you agree? Well, we certainly do. So, how about gifting something related to balloons as favours? If you like the idea, you must purchase these rocket balloons that come with a pump. Kids can use the pump to inflate the balloons and then play with them. They can also compete with each other on who can inflate the balloons first (a good party game idea, don’t you think?). One set comes with 8 individual packets of balloons and air pumps. It is available on Amazon for INR 3,316.

Well, there is no denying that a child’s mind is full of imagination. It is very important to shape it well and allow him to use his imagination to learn and develop new skills. If you believe in this idea then you can gift these rocket-shaped slime crystals as your rocket party favours. Made from non-toxic clay slime, this clear clay putty can be used to make anything. A perfect playmate for kids, this slime clay can help children build things and fuel their imagination and ideas. This slime can be folded, squeezed, rolled, stretched, and can be easily washed off the hands too. A pack of 8 is available for INR 499 on Amazon.

All kids love stickers and there are some that even make sticker collection a hobby! So, gifting stickers as rocket party favours can be a good idea. However, they must be space/rocket themed. We found the perfect space-themed stickers by Oriental Trading Company on Amazon. One roll contains 100 round paper stickers. All the designs on the stickers are space-themed. The designs are pretty cute and kids will surely love them. The stickers can be stuck on paper or any other material like plastic, etc. Buy them for INR 999 on Amazon.

Since the party theme is outer space/rockets, the favours/return gifts should match your theme perfectly. So, how about gifting space-themed posters that are both educational and can be put up in a kid’s room to make it look cool? These outer space posters come with markers and make for perfect rocket favours. Made from flocked velvet, kids can paint and draw on these posters. They can use the markers to fill in colour in the designs on the poster. One packet consists of six posters and six markers in various colours. The set is available for INR 3,393 on Amazon.

The entire world is going green, so why not toys? Well, our next rocket party favour suggestion is not only environment-friendly but also something that will help kids learn and do something on their own. It is more like a science project where kids can use recycled materials to build a rocket and then launch it into the air. The kit comes with everything that is needed to build the rockets. The kids just need spare bottles and paper to complete the exercise. The green rockets once launched, can go up to 25 meters in the air. This is a wonderful party favour that is both fun and educational. Kids are bound to love it. One set is available for INR 299 on Amazon.
