Thoughtful Handmade Gift Ideas to Start Now
As the year winds down and Deepavali lights brighten the season, it's hard to believe we're just two months away from Christmas and End of The Year - the season of warmth, connection and thoughtful giving. While festive decor hasn't quite taken over yet, this is actually the perfect time to get ahead on holiday gifting (and trust us, your future self will thank you!).
Before the Festive Rush Begins
Every year, as we inch closer to November and December, things begin to shift behind the scenes - pop-up rental rates soar, freight costs rise, gift packaging becomes pricier and many products inevitably go up in price. For handmade pieces like ours, it also means more hands, planning and time are needed to meet the festive demand. Add in the rush of last-minute shoppers and limited stocks, and finding meaningful gifts can quickly turn stressful.
That's why now, in this calm before the festive storm, is the sweet spot for curating gifts that feel personal, intentional, and beautiful - without the seasonal price hike. And if you've been eyeing something from our collection, this is also the ideal time to take advantage of our online clearance sale. Some pieces are last ones available, and others may never return once sold out. Even items that aren't currently on sale might see a small price adjustment later on to cover increased costs.
