1Gourmet & FoodTea & coffee gifts₹500 – ₹2,000Premium tea and coffee, gift sets, and the things to brew them.
- Coffee or tea lover
- Before you buy: ask how they brew: whole beans need a grinder, and ground coffee must suit their method — coarse for a French press, fine for espresso.
- Not for: someone who drinks one brand only and won't switch
2- Traveller
- Before you buy: check for '100% UV protection' or 'UV400' on the label — dark lenses without UV protection do more harm than none.
- Not for: someone who wears prescription glasses — unless you're getting prescription sunglasses made
3Books & StationeryBooks & book sets₹300 – ₹1,200Low effort, reads as thoughtful when it fits their interests.
- 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
4Bags & TravelTravel accessories₹400 – ₹3,000Luggage covers, passport sleeves, pouches and pillows — useful on every trip.
- Traveller
- Before you buy: tie the gift to a real trip they have coming up.
- Not for: someone who rarely travels
5- Coffee or tea lover
- Before you buy: check the care label: many printed mugs should be hand-washed to keep the print sharp, and colour-changing mugs usually can't go in a microwave.
- Not for: someone who already has a cupboard full of mugs
