Gift ideas (₹2,500 – ₹5,000)
1Flowers & Plants
For the home: easy-care plants, statement plants and bonsai.
- Before you buy: match the plant to their light: a dim flat needs a snake plant or ZZ, not a fiddle-leaf fig.
- Not for: someone who travels a lot, or has no light at home

2Books & Stationery
Photography and design books — only if it matches a passion.
- Before you buy: only buy on a subject they already love; a beautiful book on the wrong subject is a paperweight.
- Not for: someone in a small flat with no table space

3Hampers
A live plant with sweets, chocolates, nuts or tea, in one gift.
- Before you buy: match the plant to their light: snake plant and money plant cope with low light; jade and succulents want a bright window.
- Not for: homes with cats or dogs, unless the plant is pet-safe

4Books & Stationery
A good pen gets used every day — engraving a name makes it personal.
- Before you buy: check refills for that pen are easy to buy in India — a pen without refills becomes a paperweight.
- Not for: someone who rarely writes by hand

5Home & Decor
A vase or planter: easy to place, and it gets used.
- Before you buy: pick a size for their space — a tall floor vase needs a corner; a small one fits any shelf.
- Not for: someone with very little space who dislikes clutter
