Your shortlist
Gift ideas for your teacher (₹2,500 – ₹5,000)
Worth knowing: Keep it low-cost and personal. An expensive gift from a student can read as awkward rather than thoughtful.
1Gourmet & Food
The classic Diwali and corporate gift — freshness matters.
- Before you buy: check the packing date and pick the freshest stock — nuts go stale, and walnuts turn rancid fastest.
- Not for: someone with a nut allergy

2Flowers & Plants
Fresh bouquets — order ahead of peak dates.
- Before you buy: order ahead of peak dates — Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and big festivals push prices up and delivery slots down.
- Not for: a home with cats, if the bouquet has lilies — lilies are highly toxic to cats

3Festive & Traditional
Clay, 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

4Books & Stationery
A good pen gets used every day — engraving a name makes it personal.
- Before you buy: check refills for that pen are easy to buy in India — a pen without refills becomes a paperweight.
- Not for: someone who rarely writes by hand

5Personalised Gifts
Works only if the engraving says something specific.
- Before you buy: write the exact text first — names, dates and the one line that makes it theirs. Generic lines are what make these feel like office stock.
- Not for: someone who dislikes clutter and has nowhere to display things

How this list is made: only two hard rules — it stays within your budget and never shows what you asked to avoid. Everything else ranks rather than removes, each pick shows which of your answers it matched, and nobody pays to appear here. How GiftScene works
