Diwali Gifting

The time of the year has come when we all celebrate the festival of lights - Deepavali with a great fervour. Though, we clean our homes on timely basis, during Deepavali, we all take extra time to clear the complete house, some even get their houses white-washed. We get to eat home-made sweets with our loved ones. It is so much fun and frolic. We also buy gifts for our loved ones. Every year, it becomes a million dollar question thinking what to present. We all wish to make it unique each year.

Here are some brilliant gift ideas that I would like to recommend. I have personally tried and it turned out to be great. I am also certain that a handful of you may have already tried it. One such beautiful thing is to present a lovely photograph on a tile or a fridge magnet. This entire process of sublimation can be done on various things.

A few gift ideas based on this photo concept:

1.      You could order lovely cushions with a photo printed on it.

2.      Beautiful Family picture on a tile, stone with unfinished look around the stone for the aesthetic look.

3.      A candid photograph on aluminum sheet that can be hung to the wall or placed as a table-top.

4.      A lovely photography of a baby on foam board.

5.      A couple picture on fridge magnets, you may also find heart shape, circular and square shaped.

6.      A customized rotating lamp with photographs.

7.      Desk calendar with personalized photographs.

8.      This is interesting – Magic Color changing Mug. The image gets revealed only when hot liquid is poured into the mug, now it is all about your creativity whether to reveal an image or some lovely text.

Gifting collages is already something most of you may have done. This is something I discovered recently when my adorable sister-in-law ordered a few magnets and tiles that came out extra-ordinarily superb, thanks to her. We explored more after seeing those prints on tile and magnets. The above things are a few that I have seen and personally liked the rotating lamps and tiles.

A few things to remember while ordering:

1.      Make sure that the photographs have a good resolution. Although, a few pictures clicked in phone may look superb, the output on magnet or tile may not be satisfactory. You will have to look for bright pictures.

2.      If it is a small circular magnet, a single photo would be good enough and a couple photo on a little bigger size of the fridge magnet.

3.      Rotating Lamps can be made in different size which can accommodate a post card size and larger too. You have to think of what suits best and gather good pictures of your loved ones.

Capturing memories is a great thing, it simply recreates or may be takes you to the past (kind of time-travel). Thanks to the amazing technology. Happy gifting and Happy Deepavali, stay safe.
