Diwali falls on Sunday 8 November 2026. Below is what each budget genuinely buys in natural stone and electroformed brass, and where the jump from one bracket to the next actually changes what you are giving. Prices are correct at the time of writing and include free delivery anywhere in India.
Most Diwali gift guides pick a number and then work backwards to whatever fits it. This one goes the other way.
Under 2,000
This is single-object territory. You are not buying a set, and that is fine, because one good piece beats three token ones.
- Brass cabinet knobs, from 1,499 for a set: the Elephant Brass Cabinet Knobs. Odd as a gift on paper, excellent in practice for anyone doing up a kitchen or a wardrobe. Stone knobs start at 2,599. See all knobs and handles.
- A crystal wine chalice, from 1,299: the Amethyst Crystal Wine Chalice, in the crystal glassware range.
- A ceramic mug with crystal inlay, from 1,699: the Marble Crystal Mug. Everyday object, unusual material. See all ceramic crystal mugs.
- A small ceramic vase, from 1,999: the Cream Ceramic Short Teardrop Vase, from the ceramic vases with crystal inlay.
This is also the right bracket for return gifts at a Diwali party, where you need quantity but still want the thing to be real.
2,000 to 5,000
The bracket where most Diwali gifting happens, and where the range opens up properly. You can now give a set rather than a single piece, or something personalised.
- Stone coasters, set of four, from 2,099 for the White Marble Square Coasters, or 2,799 in agate. The most reliable gift in the catalogue, because every household uses them and almost nobody buys good ones for themselves. See all coasters.
- Sculptural candle holders, from 2,299, in electroformed brass: the Roots Sculptural Taper Candle Holder. The openwork throws pattern onto the wall once lit, which is the point of them at Diwali. See candle holders.
- An agate desk clock, from 2,499: the Amethyst Agate Desk & Wall Clock. Reads as a proper object rather than a token. See all desk clocks.
- A personalised engraved whisky glass, from 2,499, with a name engraved in any language: The Owl. See all personalised drinkware.
- Napkin rings and holders, from 2,899: the Aqua Agate Napkin Holder, from napkin rings and holders.
- An agate geode bowl, from 2,899: the Earth Blue Agate Geode Bowl, in bowls.
- A decorative metal tray, from 3,099: the Coral Decorative Metal Tray, in decorative metal trays.
- A personalised brass name plate or plaque, from 2,599 at the smallest size, which takes a family name, two names and a date, or a house number. See name plates and personalised plaques.
- A diya or tealight holder for the mandir, from 3,799 for the Shubh Labh Doorway Toran, with the Lakshmi Charan Paduka and Parvati and Ganesha designs at 4,899. See pooja and festive.
If you are giving to one household and want it to feel like a proper set rather than a single item, a tray with a set of coasters sits comfortably at the top of this bracket and looks far more generous than it costs.
5,000 to 10,000
The bracket for the gift you want remembered. Parents, in-laws, a close friend's first house, a wedding in the family.
- Agate bookends, from 5,299, for anyone who actually reads: the Aqua Agate Bookends. See all agate bookends.
- A stone cake stand, from 5,499: the Blue Agate Cake Stand, in cake stands.
- The larger pooja pieces, from 5,799 for the Peacock Triple Tealight Holder, and 6,699 for the Kuber Treasure Chest.
- A mid-size personalised plaque. The ladder runs 5,199 at 8x6 inches, 5,299 at 7x7, 5,799 at 9x6 and 6,899 at 8x8, so this bracket buys a plaque large enough to read properly from across a room.
- A lazy Susan, from 7,999, which is the piece that changes how a family eats at a round table: the Amethyst Agate Lazy Susan. See all lazy Susans.
- Metal wall tiles, set of four, from 8,099: the Geometric Dune Metal Wall Tiles, in wall tiles. These read as art rather than decor, which is why they suit someone who has run out of things they need.
Above 10,000
Worth knowing about even if it is not this year's budget, because these are the pieces people save for.
The largest personalised plaques reach 10,999 at 10x10 inches, and an easel stand for a tabletop plaque adds 300. Agate side tables start at 10,999 with the Small Blue Agate Organic Edge Side Table and go well beyond, cut from a single slab with an electroformed metal edge. The larger organic edge trays and the bigger wall clocks also sit in this range. These are household pieces rather than gifts in the usual sense, and they are typically bought at Dhanteras for one's own home rather than given.
A note on the material
Nearly everything above is electroformed, not plated. Plating is a thin coat of metal deposited over an existing object. Electroforming grows a solid metal skin onto the piece over many hours in a bath, which is why the edges have weight to them and why they will not flake off a stone slab after a year. It is slower and more expensive to make, and it is the reason these pieces last.
What not to give, at any budget
Nothing sharp. Knives, scissors and cutting sets are traditionally not given as gifts in an Indian home. And nothing entirely black, which is widely treated as inauspicious as a gift. White, green, blue and the warm agates are the safe choices when giving stone.
Ordering in time
Every piece is made to order. Over the festive season the workshop and the couriers both run slower, so allow 14 days from order to delivery.
