Engraved Champagne Flutes from The Bombay Lettering Company

Nothing says celebration quite like a pair of elegant champagne flutes! We recommend taking things up a notch with The Bombay Lettering Company's hand-engraved glasses that are the epitome of sophistication. Personalised to perfection with gold initials, names, monograms and more, by ace calligrapher Sanjana Chatlani, herself, this one’s more than just a gift; it’s a piece of art.

Organic Oil Diffuser Kit from Phool 

Thoughtful and sustainable, Phool’s organic oil diffuser kit is quintessentially Indian and refreshingly functional. In this case, we’d absolutely judge the box by its cover—vibrant motifs and a decorative finish make it a visual delight. Inside, your guests will be more than pleased to discover an elegant marble jali aroma oil burner, Soumya Chandan and Basant diffuser oils, and four tea light candles to brighten any space. Known for upcycling temple flowers into organic products, Phool offers a gift that’s as meaningful as it is mindful.

Mountain Berry Range skin care hamper from Pahadi Local 

In today’s world, where AQI is mentioned almost as often as AI, skincare might just be the new luxury. Enter Pahadi Local—an ingredient-forward brand that curates nourishing products using indigenous Himalayan resources. It makes for a thoughtful, wellness-focused gift your guests will love. We recommend the Mountain Berry Range hamper, which includes a Lehberry-infused hydrating mist (never saying no to those), an enhancing serum blended with oils, moisturising milk perfect for sunny locales, a cleansing balm, rejuvenating scrub, and a restoring mask. Go vocal for local—because nothing says you care like skincare.

Cheese Dhamaka Hamper from Eleftheria Cheese 

Do your guests a gracious favour and opt for cheese-themed wedding hampers that truly stand out. This curated duplex box by Eleftheria is a delight for gourmands with a refined palate. Packed with flavourful artisanal cheeses that have helped put India on the global cheese map, it features their signature Konark cheese—earthy, award-winning, and unforgettable—paired with house-made hot honey, fresh burrata, and an in-house basil pesto. Complemented by focaccia, gourmet crackers, and bean-to-bar Indian chocolate, this hamper is indulgent in the best way. There’s a reason it has dhamaka in its name!

Stationery Gift Box from Dots and Doodles 

Evergreen and classic, stationery is a universally loved gift, equal parts purposeful and pretty. We recommend the aesthetically designed Old Rose box set from Dots and Doodles, a thoughtful gesture of gratitude that your guests will truly appreciate. Customisable not just in text but also in fonts, with guidance from the brand’s in-house experts, the pink-and-gold floral-themed set is a testament to the timeless charm of traditional stationery. Each box includes 10 notecards with envelopes, 10 gift tags, and five gift envelopes. Honestly? We already wish we were on that guest list.

Cherish Bag from Parsi Dairy Farm 

Edible gifts really are the best ones, and this tempting pick from Parsi Dairy Farm is no different! Nostalgia forms the main ingredient here, with the brand’s OG toffees, a box of kaju katli, milk masala, and a jar of saccharine gulab jamuns. Don’t miss the attractive packaging, especially the giant toffee box that’s straight out of a Willy Wonka film. With every bite, your loved ones are sure to reminisce over the good times with a smile on their face, courtesy of these treats. We can see why they’ve christened it the “Cherish Bag”. 

Luggage Tags from Nappa Dori

Handcrafted with care by traditional artisans, these tags come in three distinct colours: black, ivory, and pistachio green, each with a gender-neutral tone. We can assure you these stylish tags aren’t going out of style anytime soon!

Soy wax air fresheners from Brown Living 

Love and joy are in the air when it comes to Brown Living’s soy wax fresheners. A token of appreciation and care, these little fragrance holders are available in a plethora of flavours, including lime, lavender, British rose, oudh and amber, and cinnamon vanilla. Apt for nearly any corner in the home, from cupboards and storerooms to powder rooms and small bathrooms, etc., the zero-waste sachets can also be upcycled and melted into scented candles once the aroma subsides.
