Worth knowing: A mix of essentials beats guessing one perfect item, and a 3–6 month size gets more use than newborn.
1Art & CraftResin art keepsakes₹500 – ₹5,000Preserved flowers, name plates, coasters and clocks set in resin.
- New parents
- Housewarming
- 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

2Gourmet & FoodMithai & sweet boxes₹400 – ₹3,000The festival classic — the sweets matter more than the box.
- New parents
- Housewarming
- Before you buy: check the shelf life: dry-fruit sweets like kaju katli keep for several days, milk sweets only a day or two.
- Not for: someone who's diabetic or cutting sugar — unless it's a sugar-free box

4Personalised GiftsPhoto frames₹300 – ₹2,500Personal when the photo is right — and the most over-gifted item too.
- New parents
- Housewarming
- Before you buy: choose the photo first — a frame is only as good as the picture in it, so pick one they don't already have printed.
- Not for: someone who's been given several frames recently

5HampersCustomised hampers₹1,000 – ₹5,000Hampers built to your brief — contents, packaging and message.
- New parents
- Housewarming
- Before you buy: ask for the exact list of contents and a photo of the packed hamper before it ships — 'assorted' can mean anything.
- Not for: someone with dietary rules you're not sure of — check before adding food

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
