The Gift Studio
This year has been hard on most of us and has us living away from our loved ones for longer than expected, thanks to the pandemic. While many of us may not be able to be next to our friends and family members this Diwali, we can certainly let them know that they are in our thoughts with personalised gifts from the Gift Studio. “Most people are away from home this season and since they can’t be around their loved ones, they are trying to make up for it with customised gifts that have a personal touch,” says founders Shashwat and Shivika Goenka. From flowers and chocolate to gourmet F&B hampers and even bespoke adventures, the Gift Studio is your one-stop solution for all gifting occasions.
Daily Objects
This one is for all the accessory hoarders, especially Apple fans. While gifting a handful of the newly-released iPhone 12 may be slightly out of budget, we have found the next best thing that you can woo your loved ones with. Daily Objects has come out with new and funky phone cases for iPhone 12 that combine two things that we are always on the lookout for — multi-layered protection and elegant designs. This will not only keep the phone safe and sturdy but also make for a cool statement that one can sport with their Diwali outfits.
Soulflower Gift Box
Nothing screams thoughtful than a well-curated festive hamper from this 100 per cent pure, vegan, cruelty-free, and safe brand. You can choose from a range of hampers that include Soulflower Beauty Elixir Gift Set for the ones who love to indulge in skincare; Soulflower Aroma in a Box for the one who loves the spa-at-home feeling or Soulflower Celebrity Gift Set packed with the best from the brand.

Brighten up your personal spaces ahead of the festive season with Hèrmosa Design Studio’s must-have decor pieces. “COVID-19 has changed the way we use spaces in our homes; with workspace corners becoming essential, customers have realised that a specific environment is required for certain activities,” says Pranjal Agarwal, CEO, Hèrmosa Design Studio.
