  1. Soap flower bouquets1
    Flowers & Plants
    Soap flower bouquets₹500 – ₹3,000

    Flowers that last for months instead of days.

    • Valentine's Day
    • 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

  2. Custom & theme cakes2
    Cakes & Bakes
    Custom & theme cakes₹500 – ₹6,000

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

    • Valentine's Day
    • 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

  3. Resin art keepsakes3
    Art & Craft
    Resin art keepsakes₹500 – ₹5,000

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

    • Valentine's Day
    • 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
    Buy fromArtoholic GeminiResinVillaEunoia Arts

  4. String & thread art4
    Personalised Gifts
    String & thread artPrice on enquiry

    A portrait, name or design drawn with thread wound between pins — made by hand from your photo.

    • Valentine's Day
    • Has everything
    • 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

  5. Photo books & custom magazines5
    Personalised Gifts
    Photo books & custom magazines₹250 – ₹1,500

    Your photos and stories, printed as a book or a mock magazine about them.

    • Valentine's Day
    • Has everything
    • Before you buy: start collecting photos a week or two early, and send the original files: screenshots, and photos saved from WhatsApp, which compresses them, print blurry.
    • Not for: ordering in the week of the occasion — they're made one at a time after you send photos and text

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
