As confusing as curating a personalized hamper may sound, there are certain items no one can say no to. 

Something chocolatey, something nutty, something rich and exotic- but all premium quality!

Here are some tips to guide you through this process. 

1. Pre-Planning

Prepare a list of gift items you would like to add to the hamper or one for different social circles. For instance, you cannot gift the same hamper to your relatives and your work friends. (It can be similar though)

This will also ensure you stay within your budget. 

2. Classic Gifts

Our DIY Diwali gift hamper guide is primarily based on this principle. Classic gifts are something you can rarely go wrong with. Chocolates, nuts, something caffeinated, you’re set!

3. Keep An Eye Out For Sales

Going back to our first tip of pre-planning, there are several companies that introduce new products and put their best sellers on sale. You must watch out for these deals, both online and offline. Online, if you pay via credit or debit cards you can get an even larger discount. 

4. Bulk Buying

As we mentioned, gifts should not exactly the same, but they can be similar. For instance, if you plan on gifting dried fruits to friends and families, you can buy them in bulk, and avail of significant discounts. 

Alternate bulk buying options include- cookware, copper sets, etc.
