1Art & CraftResin art keepsakes₹500 – ₹5,000Preserved flowers, name plates, coasters and clocks set in resin.
- Artsy and crafty
- Before you buy: for preserved flowers, contact the artist before the event — the flowers need to reach them quickly and be dried before casting.
- Not for: a last-minute gift — resin work takes days to cure
2Personalised GiftsString & thread artPrice on enquiryA portrait, name or design drawn with thread wound between pins — made by hand from your photo.

- Not for: a last-minute gift — it's made by hand, one at a time
3Art & CraftCustom portraits & illustrations₹800 – ₹8,000A painting or illustration of them — from a photo you share.
- Artsy and crafty
- Before you buy: share a sharp, well-lit photo where faces are clear — the portrait can only be as good as the photo.
- Not for: a last-minute gift — made-to-order work rarely arrives in days
4- Before you buy: match the capacity to the household: around 2–3 litres suits one or two people; 4 litres or more suits a family.
- Not for: someone who rarely cooks, or has a very small kitchen
5Festive & TraditionalDiyas & festive lamps₹200 – ₹5,000Clay, brass or decorative — for Diwali and beyond.
- Before you buy: choose brass for a gift that lasts for years, clay for a set they'll light this Diwali.
- Not for: a household that doesn't celebrate Diwali — unless it's a decorative lamp for any time of year
