Cindy:
Neither of the sentnces would be a common wording.
For example, in the U.S.A. we would express the idea this way:
"It gives me time to return home."
Using "for" as in the first sentence, we would express it this way:
"It gives me time for the return trip home."
Neither of the two constructions in your question would be common constructions.
The basic idea here, is a concern for the phrasing "return TO home".
The common expression, in the U.S.A. at least, is that people "return home" but not
Return---TO---Home. That is an unsual construction.

By the way, "return to home" is incorrect. You need to say "return home".
