Once the monsoon ends in India, it gives way to cooler evenings and the beginning of the festival season. Among the few celebrated in the last quarter of the calendar year is Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, which can’t be complete without Diwali gifts.

This year, Diwali will be celebrated on 4 November, and it is one of the biggest Indian festivals. The festival marks the beginning of a new financial year and the end of the harvesting season. It also symbolises the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness.

While the festivities entail getting together with your dear ones, the Festival of Lights includes a host of preparations like sprucing up your home and adorning it with flowers and lights to seeking blessings of gods and goddesses, inviting friends and families, buying clothes and feasting. However, among these, one thing almost everyone looks forward to is exchanging gifts.

Gifting is one of the ways to let a loved one know how much they matter to you. But first things first, you need to gauge their interests to select Diwali gifts that will be of utmost use to them. Giving something that holds great emotional value can also be kept in mind when choosing gifts. And like many amongst us, if your loved one is into a lot of travelling — for either pleasure or work — look no further.

We have got you covered with Diwali gift ideas that will make any traveller’s heart dance with joy as they are aimed at making journeys comfortable and organised.

Several countries, now, have lifted travel restrictions that were put in place due to a raging COVID-19 pandemic last year. So, our list below will help you find a suitable gift for a friend, family member, colleague or partner for a trip they may be planning in the months to come.
