I’m going to be honest. That assorted chocolate gift pack, the quartet of dry fruits, a box of Soan papdi or a dabba of motichoor laddu does get boring after a while. For years, we have been gifting/receiving neighbors and family these tried-and-tested standard gifts.
Why not step out of the comfort zone, put some thought and love in to what you buy this year for the festive season? I’ve spent hours combing through various sites to put together this list for you to wish your friends and family this Diwali – they are budget-friendly with all of them under Rs. 1000.
The one thing that strings these gifts together is the thought of wellness, the importance to feel good about oneself, and make the home a haven one would look forward to come to.
