Tips about cut, paste and gift

Give a personalised touch to Diwali gifts through DIY gift hampers

Move over readymade dry fruit and mithai gift hampers. Try some do-it-yourself gift hampers which are pocket friendly and surprise your friends with these personalised gifts.

For the style divas
For the stylish friends and relatives who seek nothing but perfectly packed stuff, you could assemble a hamper tailormade for them by putting some beauty/grooming products in a wicker basket and glam it up with trinkets.

Gift ideas for him
For men, a grooming hamper could include some good aftershave and a range of men’s grooming products that are easily available in the market.

Make room for festivities
You could assemble a hamper according to the colour scheme of their house and gift them. It’s advisable to stick to generic lifestyle products like candle stands, cutlery and crockery.

Play it safe
You could take a box and fill it up with Diwali goodies like crackers, mithais, rangoli packets, stencils, candles and more. From chocolates shaped like firecrackers to special Diwali mithais, you could even add in some of those chocolate discs.

Gift a hobby
Gift a gardening hamper or a cookery hamper. Your gift packet could contain plant saplings, fertilizer packets, a DIY handbook on how to look after the plants and other gardening equipment. With a cookery hamper you could add some baking equipment like muffin trays, cupcake cases, egg separators, piping bags and decoration booklets and items or throw in a private baking lesson too!

Say it with food
You can mix homemade and store-bought foods. You could make a sweet, savoury or gourmet hamper too.
