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

2Experiences
A class they'll enjoy on the day and cook from for years.
- Before you buy: pick a cuisine or bake they already love, or one they've said they want to learn.
- Not for: someone who finds cooking a chore

3Antiques & Collectibles
Lamps, figures and bowls in metal that ages beautifully.
- Before you buy: for idols, check the family's faith and which deity they'd welcome — ask if you're not sure.
- Not for: a household of a different faith, if it's a religious piece

4Personalised Gifts
Tiny handmade scenes and figures — a copy of their home, a frame about their family, or a small figure of them.
- Before you buy: ask the maker how many photos they need, and from which sides, before you pay — a replica is only as accurate as the photos.
- Not for: a last-minute gift — made-to-order pieces rarely arrive in days

5Kitchen & Dining
Useful and lasting — check they haven't been given three.
- Before you buy: count the pieces and what's in them — a '24-piece set' can be six each of four items, with no bowls for dal.
- Not for: a couple who've already been given several sets
