The Complete Guide to Corporate Diwali Gifting

Every year, HR and admin teams face the same October scramble: shortlisting gifts, chasing vendors, collecting addresses, and hoping everything arrives before Dhanteras. This guide helps you plan it calmly.

1. Start with the list and the budget

Split recipients into groups — employees, senior leadership, key clients, vendors — and set a budget per person for each. Typical ranges we see: ₹500–₹1,000 for large teams, ₹1,500–₹3,000 for clients and leadership.

2. Work backwards from the delivery date

• 6 weeks before: shortlist and request samples.
• 4–5 weeks: approve samples, artwork and quotation.
• 2–4 weeks: production and packing.
• 1–2 weeks: dispatch and delivery.

3. Decide on branding

Options range from a printed message card (simple) to a logo label on the candle, a branded box sleeve, or a fully custom box for larger orders. Your logo should feel like a signature, not an advert.

4. Office delivery or home addresses?

Hybrid teams increasingly want gifts at home. We can ship to every address on your spreadsheet and send tracking. Allow extra time and budget for individual delivery.

5. Choose gifts people use

Candles and diyas are used during Diwali itself, which makes them memorable. Popular choices: the Diwali Glow Hamper, Gilded Trio and our Corporate Signature Gift Box.

6. Paperwork

Ask for a GST invoice, a clear per-piece price and the advance/balance terms in the quotation.
