Best Diwali Gifts for Brother

Abhay, he is a rebel, a music buff, a wild child or as I call him an Impulsive idiot. He is my younger brother. He is six years younger to me and therefore like a child to me, he knows that and always takes advantage of my weak nerve as I am the one who hides his secrets from the family and pampers him. He and me are like a small gang.

Dev, he is serious, intelligent, headstrong, and responsible. He is the picture perfect older brother ( almost out of a hindi film). He is a doctor by profession, a neurologist to be more precise. He is super protective and the soul reason no boy flirted with me in school ( imagine my upset).

It seems like a cycle, in which one protects me, and I am protecting another.

While Dev and I are married, Abhay is just out of college and still the baby. This year we will all be celebrating Diwali at Dev’s new house. His wife Ankita, is very loving and welcoming, she is planning the entire evening.  However I still need to do my bit , that is ensure I have a gift for everyone. I have already bought gifts for Ankita and my parents. Now I need to buy gifts for Dev and Abhay, the  proverbial chalk and cheese siblings.

I am not so worried about Abhay, I’m sure I will find something he likes, if I end up buying him a Diwali gift he doesn’t like, he will ensure I buy him another gift, and probably an extra one for not getting it right at the first go. Such is Abhay. Dev on the other hand doesn’t have too many hobbies, and is a very private person. He will never ever say he doesn’t like a gift, which makes me wonder each year how he actually feels about the gift.

As expected, I easily found a gift for Abhay. I bought him a t-shirt combo along with a quirky set of a mug and a book that said “ DO Epic Shit” it seemed so Abhay, I felt like the quote was specially created for him.

This was easy, the other one not so. I thought of books and then said NO. I thought of wallet then said NO. I thought of at least ten more things and then said no. You get the drill. I was exhausted looking for a gift for Dev, I had been to every shop in the vicinity but I still couldn’t understand what should I get for him. Then I decided to look for gifts online and access options while sitting in a chair rather than strolling in the heat. After browsing through hundreds of products, my “oh so serious brother” would definitely value a nice watch, and that’s when I found the baby, a sparkling beauty, Sonata men’s analog watch in gold.

This time I’m fully confident that both my brothers are going to love my gifts, I hope in return they decide to pamper their only sister in words and in deed.

Making Diwali Special for my Love

As pretty as pearl,

She is my girl,

She is my princess, she is my love

She is my angel, my gift from god above

She is oh so sweet; to my life she adds spice

She is so very nice.

She is my life!

I hope someday she will be my wife!

Neha and I started seeing each other while we were in college, we have been in love for five years. I remember everyday distinctly and clearly, each better than the other, our relation has been like a gourmet picnic basket (I am a foodie). Each day with it’s distinct but lovely flavor.

We have celebrated every festival, holiday and occasion together since the past five years. On days when we were broke and on days we celebrated by ordering pizza and watching a film. I remember three years back when I had just started working, and I decided to splurge Neha on the occasion of Diwali. I remember taking her to a renowned five star hotel for dinner and presenting her with a small gold heart pendant. I had spent my two months salary that day. But when I saw the smile on her face and the sparkle in her eyes it was priceless and two months salary seemed very less in comparison. Soon after Neha fulfilled her dream of becoming an airhostess, when a leading commercial airline offered her a job. Past two years we have celebrated Diwali apart as she has always been travelling on Diwali and various other holidays and festivals.

This year I decided to take matters in my hand; I have decided to surprise her! I have decided to drop by for a surprise visit, to the city she would be in. I plan to surprise her in style.

I land on the eve of Diwali in Kolkatta, at seven p.m. By the time I would leave the airport, all florists would have shut shop. I decided to buy a red roses bouquet online and for it to be delivered to the hotel concierge.  I had decided to buy her a special gift for her as I was starting to realize how much I miss her and what she means to me.

I went through numerous gifts online, visited stores, but nothing felt new. We had been through every phase, got each other everything. I wondered what next, what should I gift her.

I was idly going through the jewelry section of a gifting website, when I realized that the reason I can’t find a suitable gift is because I have been stuck in this stage for too long! I need to move things further and just like that I knew I had to propose Neha!

I looked online found the most amazing solitaire diamond ring by Jashn (she likes delicate jewelry). I have spoken to the hotel our dinner table is booked, they have arranged the champagne, all that’s required is for Neha to yes and light up my world, this Diwali.

It was a dark, still night. The moon hid behind the clouds. Lord Ram along with his wife Sita was returning to their kingdom after spending 14 years in exile. To banish the darkness and to celebrate the return of the king, people lit diyas along their path. This day has gone down in history and is traditionally celebrated as Diwali.

Diwali represents hope and prosperity, the day when good triumphed over evil. It brings with it a lot of positivity and cheer. Lighting diyas, putting up lanterns and twinkling lights, eating mithai and namkeen along with dry fruits, fire crackers and exchanging gifts form the crux of Diwali. When you are away during Diwali or have family and friends who don’t live in the same city as you, it is a bit of a letdown to not be able to share this festival with them.

When Diwali Celebrations Start from Home

Diwali is more than just being the festival of lights and firecrackers. For most of us Diwali means loads of shopping, gorging on sweets and getting together with families and cousins we don’t meet often. But have you ever thought of making Diwali a special memory for each of your folks? We always have gifting ideas but many times these small things get lost in Diwali shopping for your home like getting the latest electronics, a fresh coat of paint or buying a new car. So we suggest, keep some time aside and shop for family this Diwali. Now you are fumbling over the shopping list? Read over our suggestions and you’d be smiling all way.

Gifts for Parents Let’s admit our parents would love us to spend more time with them from our busy work schedule. Make them feel loved and special with a gift that they could use. For example a nice wallet for your dad and a handbag for your mother would be a tad different from buying clothes from them.

Gifts for Spouse Yes, there are a couple of occasions to buy your spouse a gift every year. Yet Diwali is another occasion you could express your love. Gift a lady-like watch to your wife that she can match with her ethnic wear. There are always some fabulous discounts on watches online and you’d be happy to spot them. The ladies could do the same for their doting husbands.

Gifts for Kids As doting parents, you want them to have fun with firecrackers and sweets, and yet realize the importance of gifting and gratitude during Diwali. Bring them story books, board games, puzzles and toys that encourage learning and activity.

Gifts for Sibling There’s really no need to repeat gifts, as there are plenty of options and that too at great discounts! How about fashion jewellery, play station, gadget accessories, premium stationary for them? These are fancy picks that one can’t really go wrong with. If you still mulling over then gift a nice fragrance and you’d get a warm hug.
