  1. Wallets & card holders1
    Fashion & Accessories
    Wallets & card holders₹500 – ₹2,500

    A dependable, everyday gift — a Raksha Bandhan favourite for brothers.

    • Your dad
    • Practical (no clutter)
    • Before you buy: look at how they pay: mostly UPI and cards means a slim card holder; cash means a bifold with a note section.
    • Not for: someone who recently bought a wallet they like — wallets are replaced rarely

  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. Books & book sets3
    Books & Stationery
    Books & book sets₹300 – ₹1,200

    Low effort, reads as thoughtful when it fits their interests.

    • Your dad
    • Reader
    • Before you buy: find out what they've read recently — a book in a genre they already love beats a bestseller they won't open.
    • Not for: someone who doesn't read for pleasure

  4. Resin art keepsakes4
    Art & Craft
    Resin art keepsakes₹500 – ₹5,000

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

    • Your dad
    • 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

  5. Travel accessories5
    Bags & Travel
    Travel accessories₹400 – ₹3,000

    Luggage covers, passport sleeves, pouches and pillows — useful on every trip.

    • Your dad
    • Practical (no clutter)
    • Before you buy: tie the gift to a real trip they have coming up.
    • Not for: someone who rarely travels

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
