  1. Custom & theme cakes1
    Cakes & Bakes
    Custom & theme cakes₹500 – ₹6,000

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

    • Your friend
    • Arrives in time
    • 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

  2. Chocolate gift boxes2
    Gourmet & Food
    Chocolate gift boxes₹400 – ₹1,800

    A safe, well-liked gift for almost every relationship.

    • Your friend
    • Arrives in time
    • Before you buy: read the ingredients: real chocolate lists cocoa butter, while cheaper boxes often use vegetable fat instead.
    • Not for: someone who's diabetic or avoiding sugar

  3. Tea & coffee gifts3
    Gourmet & Food
    Tea & coffee gifts₹500 – ₹2,000

    Premium tea and coffee, gift sets, and the things to brew them.

    • Your friend
    • Arrives in time
    • 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

  4. Desk plants & succulents4
    Flowers & Plants
    Desk plants & succulents₹200 – ₹900

    Low-maintenance and longer-lasting than cut flowers.

    • Your friend
    • Arrives in time
    • Before you buy: match the plant to the light where it will sit: succulents need sun, while snake plants and ZZ plants cope with low light.
    • Not for: someone who travels often and can't water

  5. Flower bouquets5
    Flowers & Plants
    Flower bouquets₹500 – ₹2,500

    Fresh bouquets — order ahead of peak dates.

    • Your friend
    • Arrives in time
    • Before you buy: order ahead of peak dates — Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and big festivals push prices up and delivery slots down.
    • Not for: a home with cats, if the bouquet has lilies — lilies are highly toxic to cats

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
