Love, light and prosperity — that’s what Diwali is all about. With lots of house parties and pujas to attend with friends and family this festive season, picking out the perfect gift for your loved ones can seem like quite the task.
Here’s a handy list of goodies to give your near and dear for the festivities, and there’s something for everyone.
Plants and planters
These antique-style, quintessentially Indian design brass planters have a nostalgic traditional touch, that can be a chic addition to any home. Fashioned to look like brass cups, these planters have the perfect festive touch without being over the top. Gift them as they are, or plant a little sapling in there for your plant parent friends and family.
