DIY Diwali Gift Hamper

The festival of gifting and making everyone feel special. In my last post I have covered the different gifting ideas for Diwali.
In this post I will be talking about how I create my own DIY Diwali gift hamper for my loved ones which will be completely personalised and not at all off the rack and common.
The gift hamper is super easy to make and on budget.
 So the table is set.
I am filling the boxes with home made besan ladoos packed pretty in pink. You can find the link to the post for recipe of Besan ladoos.
Some home made chocolates.
Some tea light holders.
Some ready made Rangoli craft.


















The Gift boxes are ready with a hand written note to accompany them. You can also pack them in a basket or cellophane paper or any other way.
Let your creativity flow.
You can check out the whole Gift hamper video on my you tube channel below.


Happy Diwali you all !!

Lots of Love ..
Spread the cheer

Diwali Gift Ideas

Diwali season is here with aplomb. Diwali means showering everybody with love and wishes in the form of gifts. Giving gifts or rather choosing them is not always an easy task for all.
So here I am poking my nose in your business and giving you some gift ideas ;p

Apart from the common gifts that we give mainly clothes, jewellery, mithai, candles there is an huge array of gifts to explore and take your pick from.

Let me take you gift shopping



Aromatherapy products.
Everyone wants to make their homes feel and look special. So potpourri, diffusers, incense sticks, incense vials, aroma burning oils and weeds, electric diffusers and sets make our homes feel so very soothing, warm, pretty and aromatic. Great Gifts.

 

Fengshui and Lucky charms/idols
Budha, Ganapati, Lakshmi, GajLakshmi, Turtles such things always make amazing gifts.




Furnishing
cushions in metallic hues and colours, cushion covers, bedsheets, quilts, comforters for the winter season, and carpets, rugs, table spreads make for great gifts.


Crockery and Cutlery
Nobody has enough of this ever. Now a days beautiful gift sets are available just for gifting purposes.





Glass articles
Glasses, sets of mugs, coloured bottles, mason jars, quirky designs are all waiting to be picked and adorned for Diwali parties.





Handmade soaps and bathing salts
Everyone pampers their family during the Abhyang Snan (Diwali Bathing custom) so this is a great gift for Diwali.
