The best Diwali gift ideas to celebrate the Festival of Lights in style

Diwali or Deepavali — the Festival of Lights — is one of the most widely celebrated holidays of Indian people and it’s also observed by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists worldwide. Usually falling in October or November, the festival commemorates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. It has been a while since we celebrated Diwali with so much fanfare here in Singapore and for us, festivities mean gifting. So like any other special occasion, we usually look forward to showering our loved ones with gifts that’ll make them go “wow” on Diwali.

Whether you go old-school or try to switch things up this year, giving your best shot on Diwali gifts shows that you care. You can always satisfy their sweet tooth with a box of delicious Indian sweets, chocolates, and nuts to snack on or send them everything they need to light up their Diwali festivals such as pretty lights and candles.
