10 Diwali Gift Ideas Under ₹500: Nostalgic Desi Candy Boxes
Diwali gifting does not have to mean another box of dry fruits or the same kaju katli everyone else brings. This year, gift something that makes people smile the moment they open it: the khatta meetha candies, imli and churan they grew up with. Here are our favourite Diwali gift ideas under ₹500, all ready to send across India.
1. Celebration Pack Gift Box – ₹499
Our most "giftable" pick. Three jars – Masala Aam Papad, Orange Candy and Coconut Shots – packed in a ready-to-gift box, so there is nothing to wrap. Sweet, tangy and creamy in one box, which means there is something for everyone in the family.
2. Starter Trio – ₹399
Orange Candy, Mix Fruit Ball and Mango Candy: the three flavours almost everyone remembers from the school canteen. A safe choice for colleagues, neighbours and anyone whose taste you are not sure about.
3. Bestseller Trio – ₹449
Badam Coconut Peda, Desi Imli and Mix Fruit Ball – one soft sweet, one tangy imli and one fruity candy. It is our customers' favourite mix and works well as a Diwali gift for families.
4. Coconut Lovers Trio – ₹449
For people who prefer sweet over sour: Badam Coconut Peda, Coconut Shots and Mini Coconut Balls. It sits nicely next to the mithai on a Diwali thali and is a good pick for elders.
5. Nostalgic Combo – ₹449
Khatti Meethi Churan Sticks, Desi Imli and Orange Candy – the "after school" combo. Perfect for friends and cousins who still talk about the churan they bought for a rupee outside the school gate.
6. Chatpata Goli Trio – ₹449
Harde Goli, Hing Goli and Chatpati Candy for the chatpata lovers. After a heavy Diwali meal, this is the jar everyone will reach for.

Six 100g pouches in six flavours. Split them into small gift bags for the office team or the building watchmen and helpers, or keep the whole set as one fun gift.

Six goli and mukhwas pouches for the classic after-meal ritual. A thoughtful gift for hosts who are cooking the Diwali feast.
