Diwali Gift Ideas That Won't End Up in a Cupboard

Every Diwali, the same question comes up. What are the best gift ideas for family, bosses, or neighbours?

Mithai gets eaten in a day. Dry fruit boxes go round in circles. People remember gifts that stay out long after the festival.

So we have picked a few gifts from our Diwali Gifting collection that do exactly that.

For the puja room: ginni boxes

A ginni box is a small decorative box for a coin or kumkum. Ours feature traditional gold motifs. They look great on a mandir shelf or dressing table. Families buy coins on Dhanteras. A ginni box is a lovely way to gift one.

Kachua Tortoise Good Luck Ginni Box, ₹1,850. The tortoise is seen as a sign of good luck in many homes. This one is a tortoise-shaped box with red and green stones on its shell. Our most giftable piece under ₹2,000.

Swinging In Your Aangan: Maa Lakshmi Ginni Box, ₹3,450. Maa Lakshmi on a little swing. Made for Lakshmi Puja, and for anyone who keeps a mandir at home.

Ghanti Polki Mandir Bell, ₹2,650. A bejewelled puja bell from our Sone Pe Suhaga collection. For the person whose puja thali is always perfectly set.

For someone who just moved into a new home

Many people do their griha pravesh during Diwali. They celebrate their first festival in a new house. A home gift feels right.

Nayi Shuruvaat Kalash Ginni Gift Box, ₹2,950. Nayi shuruvaat means a new beginning, and the kalash is the symbol of one. It is the gift we would take to a first Diwali in a new home.

Diwali gift ideas for the men in your life

Men are the hardest to buy for. They already have enough shirts and wallets. A brooch or button covers are unique gifts. They will wear them to every wedding this season.

Shiva Polki Antique Gold Brooch, ₹2,250. Antique gold with polki and coloured stones. Looks right on a bandhgala, a blazer or a Nehru jacket.

Sundar Polki Brooch, ₹2,650. A little bigger and more festive. For the man who likes to be noticed at a wedding.

Polki Gold Kurta Button Covers, ₹695 each. Slip them over the buttons of any kurta or shirt and it instantly looks dressier. An easy gift under ₹1,000.

All our brooches are made for men and women, so they work just as well as a gift for her.

For her: a watch that looks like jewellery

Rajwada Indian Gold Watch Bracelet, ₹5,850. This watch set is from our Sone Pe Suhaga collection. It reads as a kada first. She can wear it with a saree.

A few gifting tips

Keep a note of who gets what. Avoid giving the same gift two years running. Pick by the person, not the price. Choose a puja gift for those who pray. A ginni box is the safest choice.
