Who are you gifting?

1. 1

   Home & Decor

   Scented candles₹400 – ₹1,500

   A dependable gift — mild scents are the safer default.

   • Housewarming
   • Self-care

   • Before you buy: pick mild scents — vanilla, sandalwood, fresh linen — unless you know their taste; strong florals divide people.
   • Not for: someone with asthma, or who's sensitive to fragrance

   Fitness & Yoga

   Yoga mats₹900 – ₹3,500

   Material and thickness decide whether it gets used.

   • Housewarming
   • Self-care

   • Before you buy: pick the thickness by use: about 4–6 mm suits most practice; thicker mats are softer but wobblier for balance poses.
   • Not for: someone with a latex allergy, if the mat is natural rubber

   Books & Stationery

   Coffee table books₹800 – ₹3,000

   Photography and design books — only if it matches a passion.

   • Housewarming
   • Artsy and crafty

   • Before you buy: only buy on a subject they already love; a beautiful book on the wrong subject is a paperweight.
   • Not for: someone in a small flat with no table space

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
