return gift
Gesture of gratitude
A return gift is a gift given in response to one received, balancing the exchange.
The practice is formalized in some cultures—particularly South Asian traditions where hosts give small gifts to guests at celebrations like weddings or children's birthday parties: Each child left with a return gift bag.
The term also applies to reciprocal gift-giving between individuals.
