Gift ideas (Under ₹500)
1Festive & 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

2Festive & Traditional
For the home puja — brass, decorated or silver.
- Before you buy: check what's included: a plate alone, or the diya, bowls and bell that make it ready to use.
- Not for: someone who doesn't keep a home puja

3Books & Stationery
Low effort, reads as thoughtful when it fits their interests.
- 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

4Pet Gifts
Treats plus a toy work for almost any dog or cat.
- Before you buy: check the pet's size, age and any food allergies before buying treats.
- Not for: a pet on a vet-prescribed diet — skip treats and give a toy or accessory

5Pet Gifts
Small, genuinely useful, and the name makes it theirs.
- Before you buy: engrave the owner's phone number, not just the pet's name — it's what gets a lost pet home.
- Not for: a cat that won't wear a collar — a personalised bowl suits it better
