For Parents

1. The Family Name Wall Plaque

2. The Festival of Light Diya Tray

Five carved recesses, five clay diyas, one solid mango wood tray — engraved with "Shubh Diwali" and your parents' names on the base. Comes out every Diwali. Gets better with age. From ₹899.

3. The Memory Frame — with a festival photo

Give them a frame with space for a family Diwali photo, engraved below with a line from them that you've always remembered. "Maa ki Diwali" has made more than a few mothers cry. In the good way. From ₹999.
