Holi
- Gift Ideas
Along with many other good things, the festival of Holi involves the tradition of gift-giving too. There are gifts for all you can think of-the near and dear, kith and kin, friends and loved ones and everyone else !
Traditionally, families and friends visit each other during Holi, with a Puja 'thali' (plate) and sweets. This is itself a well-received gift, as along with the yummy stuff, blessings are exchanged.
Boxes of 'Mithai' (or sweets) and dry fruit take over all forms of gift-giving and are the most common sight on this occasion of Holi, just as they are on other Indian festivals.
Sarees used to be traditionally gifted to all the female relatives for the festival of Holi. Today, this custom still exists although the sarees may be replaced with other items of clothing such as dress material, salwar or churidaar suits or even readymade garments.
Jewelry for your loved ones is a gift for Holi that is really appreciated if you're looking to be extravagant during this season.
If you're into spirituality but don't want to be one of the crowd this Holi, get your friends and family gifts they'll treasure. Scented candles, diyas, aromatic oils, crafted symbols of Hinduism; pieces of art (modern or traditional) with special decorative frames are good alternatives.
If you're stuck for choice or ideas, you can always get away with ready Holi Gift hampers. They're packed with goodies anyone would appreciate.
Last but not the least, your personal gift for your loved one could be a box of chocolates, a cuddly teddy, cakes, engraved heart-shaped pendants, personalized stationery or whatever you think he/ she will like-the list is endless, but go ahead- make someone's day !
