1Art & CraftResin art keepsakes₹500 – ₹5,000Preserved flowers, name plates, coasters and clocks set in resin.
- Your mom
- 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
2Personalised GiftsString & thread artPrice on enquiryA portrait, name or design drawn with thread wound between pins — made by hand from your photo.
- Your mom
- 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
3Art & CraftCustom portraits & illustrations₹800 – ₹8,000A painting or illustration of them — from a photo you share.
- Your mom
- Artsy and crafty
- Before you buy: share a sharp, well-lit photo where faces are clear — the portrait can only be as good as the photo.
- Not for: a last-minute gift — made-to-order work rarely arrives in days
4Jewellery & WatchesSilver jewellery₹1,000 – ₹8,000A substantial-feeling gift that's easier to get right than gold.
- Your mom
- Before you buy: look for a 925 stamp (sterling silver, 92.5% pure); a BIS hallmark adds assurance.
- Not for: someone who only wears gold, or has a metal allergy you don't know about
5Jewellery & WatchesGold jewellery₹3,000 – ₹1,00,000A light pendant or studs — hallmarked, and yours to keep for life.
- Your mom
- Before you buy: check the hallmark: three marks — the BIS logo, the purity (such as 22K916 or 18K750) and a six-character HUID code you can check in the BIS CARE app.
- Not for: someone whose taste in jewellery you don't know well
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
