Diwali is a festival of lights, and at this time of the year, we all wish to have some special gifts for our loved ones. There are many options available in the market which you can buy for your family and friends as well as relatives. For Indians living abroad, it is the best time to commemorate the culture of their community with brass diya india or deity idols as gifts. Here are some of the best Diwali gifting ideas that you can consider on this festive occasion.
Traditional Sweets
Diwali is a festival of lights, and to celebrate it in the best possible way, you can send sweets to your near and dear ones from abroad. It is a tradition that people love to get traditional sweets like laddoo, peda, and gulab jamun from their loved ones on Diwali. For example: if you’re an Indian living in London or New York City, then you should send them some traditional sweets made by yourself (like Kaju katli) or by local vendors who sell authentic Indian cuisine in your locality. If you don’t know how to make these traditional dishes, then let me tell you that making them will not only be fun but also very rewarding.
Silver Coins
You can also gift silver coins, which are excellent gifts for the Diwali season. Silver coins can be used to buy anything from food to clothes, or even invest in some stocks. The value of such an investment will increase with time and will help you earn more money at a later stage.
Silver coins are also considered good investments because they have long-term value and cannot be devalued easily as compared to other forms of currency like notes or cash deposits into banks’ savings accounts; this makes them a wise choice when it comes to saving up for something big like buying a house or starting your own business.
Home-made Pickles and Spices
Pickles are a great gift to send over to your NRI friends, especially if they’re not into cooking. Here are some fun pickle and spice ideas:
- Pickle Dilly Dandies (a mix of dill, cilantro, and green chillies)
- Spicy Cucumbers with Dill (cucumbers chopped up with dill seeds and red chilli powder)
- Konkan Pickles (pickled cucumber with fresh coriander leaves)
Designer Salwar Suits
