1Gourmet & FoodTea & coffee gifts₹500 – ₹2,000Premium tea and coffee, gift sets, and the things to brew them.
- Coffee or tea lover
- Before you buy: ask how they brew: whole beans need a grinder, and ground coffee must suit their method — coarse for a French press, fine for espresso.
- Not for: someone who drinks one brand only and won't switch
2Books & StationeryBooks & book sets₹300 – ₹1,200Low effort, reads as thoughtful when it fits their interests.
- Reader
- Before you buy: find out what they've read recently — a book in a genre they already love beats a bestseller they won't open.
- Not for: someone who doesn't read for pleasure
3Art & 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
4Personalised GiftsString & thread artPrice on enquiryA portrait, name or design drawn with thread wound between pins — made by hand from your photo.
- Artsy and crafty
- Before you buy: pick a photo with a clear face and strong contrast between light and dark — thread can't show fine, low-contrast detail.
- Not for: a last-minute gift — it's made by hand, one at a time
5- Coffee or tea lover
- Before you buy: check the care label: many printed mugs should be hand-washed to keep the print sharp, and colour-changing mugs usually can't go in a microwave.
- Not for: someone who already has a cupboard full of mugs

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
