Some more gift hampers for every type of personality!

If you're not sure about the person's taste, notebooks are almost always the safest bet. Handcrafted and upcycled, you can gift these to those who are organised AF, love travelling or have started a new job. Unruled, these also work really well as scrapbooks or sketchbooks. If you're looking to spend up to INR 1,000, it'll be super thoughtful if you got them felt pens, colour pencils, or watercolour paints to make the gift so much sweeter. 

For Weddings: You and the squad can always make this notebook the start of a beautiful scrapbook with their meet-cute story for the happy couple, to then fill up with future adventures. The book could also document well wishes, memories, and everything in between from loved ones!

The best way to start a new hobby is when you don't have to spend on it, only because the initial cost seems steep sometimes. Your friend will certainly appreciate being nudged into one. A calligraphy kit is a hobby and gift that keeps on giving. This one for INR 980 with 5 nibs and ink looks regal with a feather and everything! 

For Weddings: Calligraphy is a hobby that can be individually pursued, or be a great couple bonding activity. Also a sign to bring back love notes and letters maybe?

A Bluetooth speaker is never a bad gift no matter the recipient. This compact one by Philips comes with a mic (so yes, you can take calls), built-in FM radio play, is compatible with any electronic device with Bluetooth connectivity (up to 10 metres) and is rechargeable. Oh, and the speaker comes with a 32 GB memory card as well as a slot for AUX cables so it's great even if you have no signal/connectivity! Super easy to carry around anywhere for whatever occasion.

For Weddings: Definitely make this a pre-wedding (engagement perhaps?) gift. It's ideal for bachelor/bachelorette party use. 

Okay, hear us out. With this, photoshoots and setting the mood becomes ridiculously easy! Rated highly on Amazon, and pretty much providing an IG filter irl, this lamp comes with over a dozen colour sets and is remote controlled. Costing less than INR 1,000 on most days, it's a steal! This is one of those things that non-influencer friends may not buy for themselves, but will definitely use if they have it!

For Weddings: Just think of all the lit pre and post-wedding photoshoots this will result in...among other things. 

Nothing says thoughtful (and effort) like personalised trinkets. Charm bracelets and pendants are huge at the moment, and a cute yet classy delicate bracelet like this one by Abhika Jewels will make the recipient's day! If the recipient is a guy, try this minimalist option by Tann Trim, though it's a unisex option if you ask us. 

For Weddings: This writer's mother says that jewellery gifts for weddings are just not done, especially if they're not actual gold, platinum, and/or encrusted with precious jewels. If you're of the same opinion, this set of jewellery boxes to keep all the jewellery and knick nacks that the bride will presumably receive will do nicely. It's also multifunctional.

This one's also the best-selling, folks! Spacious, functional and classic black - any girl will be head over heels to receive this vegan leather tote by Old Tree as a gift. Of course, feel free to fill it up with goodies, notes, and gift cards and anything else if you want to make it extra special. 

Love this? You'll like these too! 

If you're looking to give a guy friend a present, you can't go wrong with a tie, pocket square cufflink set. This one by Mensome is a classic. A striped blue tie with a matching pocket square, this is a classic option. Similar options with other designs and other accessories for men are available at Mensome. Mostly under INR 1,000 too if you're looking for budget-friendly yet classy men's accessories for gifting.
