The Wishing Chair
This shop is one fantasy land, if you ask us. We love the cute teapots and tea-sets, faux flowers and plants to put on your bathroom shelves, candles, decorative lights, and tea light holders.

Fragrance People
We all have a friend who loves lighting scented candles around the house (or even the bathroom, for a spa-like scene). For them, Fragrance People’s got plenty of aromatic goods to choose from—candles, diffusers, incense, potpourri, and more. The range of fragrances available here includes Fresh Cut Roses, Lavender Fields, Green Tea, Lemongrass, Sandalwood, Midnight Jasmine, Sea Breeze, Christmas Collection, and Citronella. We are slightly biased towards the Midnight Jasmine range for its soothing floral notes.
Price: Starting at INR 199
Tatsat
Tatsat is bursting with an array of handicrafts and knick-knacks from different artisans across the country. There’s something for everyone here—from preset gift hampers and cutesy bird earrings for teens to silk saris and incense sticks (they have a coffee dhoop batti to make your room smell divine) to home items such as lamps, trays, coasters, frames and platters. It’s, however, equally useful for when you want to treat yourself to some retail therapy. Plus, they're available on LBB!
Price: Starting at INR 20 for a handmade bookmark, INR 1,500 (approx.) for a stole
Gifts Of Love
Picking out a perfect gift is a tricky task but Gifts Of Love is making life easier for those of us who are not very good at it. It's a quaint shop that offers stationery, home decor and thoughtful presents. Think beautiful notebooks, organisers, rubber stamps, wall art, recipe organisers, wrapping paper and more. They have stores in Galleria, Gurgaon and in Saket, New Delhi.

Jugaad
Located in one of Delhi's favourite spots, Champa Gali - Jugaad is a good-hearted venture that started in 1997.

You'll be able to find a lot of cool stuff here like accessories, apparel, stationery, bags and other quirky items.

Archies
A nostalgic staple across India, Archies was undoubtedly one of the first gift stores that revolutionized the concept of gifting. Their first store in India was founded in Kamla Nagar, Delhi. What’s great about them is that they still have a hold over the gifting culture, with everything from quirky mugs, stationery, cards (for literally every occasion,) to even plushies!
Price: Starting at INR 25
People Tree
People Tree emerged 30 years ago in Delhi’s Connaught Place with a vision to bring together newer notions to craft, design, and art in the market. They are all about originality, sustainability, collaboration and creativity. Their other store is located in Assagao, Goa. Their stores are packed with handmade art that is refreshing, quirky, and out of the ordinary all at once. And if you know someone who has the same three qualities (because we bet you do) then do get them something from here! They have an impressive collection of products from cushions, statement pieces, scarves, hair accessories, women, kids, and men’s clothing too!
Price: Starting at INR 280 (approx.)
