    Books & Stationery
    Greeting cards₹50 – ₹1,450

    A card with your own words inside: a printed, pop-up, plantable or dried-flower card, from ₹50.

    • Your dad
    • Has everything
    • Practical (no clutter)
    • Before you buy: match the card to the moment: a printed card for a casual note, a pop-up for a milestone or a hobby, a boxed set for someone who writes letters.
    • Not for: anyone who does not keep paper: a card with nothing written in it will be binned

  2. Dry fruit boxes2
    Gourmet & Food
    Dry fruit boxes₹500 – ₹3,000

    The classic Diwali and corporate gift — freshness matters.

    • Your dad
    • Practical (no clutter)
    • Before you buy: check the packing date and pick the freshest stock — nuts go stale, and walnuts turn rancid fastest.
    • Not for: someone with a nut allergy

  3. Soap flower bouquets3
    Flowers & Plants
    Soap flower bouquets₹500 – ₹3,000

    Flowers that last for months instead of days.

    • Your dad
    • Has everything
    • Before you buy: treat them as decor: soap flowers are made to look at, and using them as soap spoils the arrangement.
    • Not for: someone sensitive to strong scents

  4. Custom & theme cakes4
    Cakes & Bakes
    Custom & theme cakes₹500 – ₹6,000

    Made-to-order and photo cakes, designed with you.

    • Your dad
    • Before you buy: order at least a day or two ahead — detailed designs take time, and good bakers book up before festivals and weekends.
    • Not for: someone who's diabetic or avoiding sugar

  5. Resin art keepsakes5
    Art & Craft
    Resin art keepsakes₹500 – ₹5,000

    Preserved flowers, name plates, coasters and clocks set in resin.

    • Your dad
    • Has everything
    • 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

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
