Looking for the best Diwali gift ideas that you can give to your family members, loved ones and others on the list?

With the arrival of the festival of lights, the excitement of Diwali fills the air bringing together family and friends together in joyous celebration. While Diwali is all about honouring and cherishing traditions it is also about giving.

Exchanging gifts on Diwali is therefore a symbol of love, appreciation and goodwill. In fact, Diwali is incomplete without gifts that can bring a smile to your loved ones, family and social circle.

India is a land of festivals. While we already have festivals that celebrate the brother-sister bond, it is surprising that we missed out on the mothers. For many, Mother’s Day is a foreign concept and also relatively new. However, in less than a decade the trend of Mother’s Day has picked up in the metro cities, at least.

Credit to the rapid globalization and the invasion of the internet that connected many of us to this day. Also, I believe that we Indians are extremely sentimental about our mothers. Hence, we are more open to Mother’s Day than Valentine’s Day.

Before you counter me with the benefits of online shopping let me tell you that I already know all that. I shop online on various e-commerce stores. I have experienced what it feels like having your product home-delivered and unwrapping it in the comfort of your home. Online shopping has changed the retail market forever. Consumers today prefer to shop from their laptops and mobile devices and buy products online. I completely agree with the fact that online shopping is all about saving time, money and effort. However, shopaholics would agree that there is nothing like traditional shopping. Offline shopping benefits are quite different from the online ones and it is just a matter of perspective. So, during the festive season shopping, I still prefer to shop offline because I believe offline shopping advantages surpass online shopping.
