Worth knowing: Keep it low-cost and personal. An expensive gift from a student can read as awkward rather than thoughtful.

2Gourmet & FoodTea & coffee gifts₹500 – ₹2,000Premium tea and coffee, gift sets, and the things to brew them.

4- Your teacher
- Arrives in time
- 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
5- Your teacher
- Arrives in time
- Before you buy: pick mild scents — vanilla, sandalwood, fresh linen — unless you know their taste; strong florals divide people.
- Not for: someone with asthma, or who's sensitive to fragrance

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
