The selection of gifts is a task at hand that cannot be delayed and selecting the right choice of gift for all is one impossible thing. Instead, you could just group them in different categories according to their ages and then decide for a uniform gift for each age group. Say all your younger cousins can get chocolate boxes that will make them ecstatic or maybe your elders can get good luck charms or things that they can put up in their houses for the sole purpose of decoration. 

For the in-laws and respected acquaintances, you can always go for boxes of sweets as sagan and you will have their blessings. In the recent past, the number of chocolates that have been given as wedding return gift is a startling number only proving how loved chocolate is for one and all.

Put some thoughts behind finalising your wedding return gift and it should speak clearly of the appreciation you feel for their presence and the gratefulness.
