Everyone loves a good gift hamper with festive goodies and… some more! Of the unique DIY gift ideas, this one can get as creative as you can think! Get started with a traditional-style matka and some bright paints. Use your brush strokes to create a combination of geometric shapes, flowers, and abstract patterns. Once dried, add some sparkle to the exterior with decorative beads and jewels. Finish off this traditional-inspired gift by adding some wrapped sweets, hand-painted diyas, dry fruits, miniature artefacts, and more!

Tip: Opt for bright paint colours like gold, pink, red, and green. Once complete, make the hamper look presentable by covering the top with a transparent gift-wrapping sheet.

Looking to pack a unique DIY gift that stands out for its elegance and sophistication? There’s no need to try too hard. Reach out for some glass bottles, ideally tinted ones and repurpose them into classy home decor pieces that will light up the ambience in your friend’s home, quite literally! If you can’t find tinted bottles, simply choose to paint the translucent ones using glass colours. For the final finishing touch, insert a bunch of string lights. You can even go the extra mile to attach a wire, which will make this a great festive hanging to brighten up the space.

Tip: Use this as a DIY gift idea for your friends if they love collecting artsy home decor. While gift-wrapping, you could alternately use tea-light candles instead of string lights as a lighting option.

Since the festive season is largely about devotion and worship, an exquisite pooja thali would make for a great gifting option. Taking the DIY route with this will help give it your own personalised touch. Get started by creating two canvas sheet circle cut-outs as per the size of your thali. Use a stencil to draw designs of your choice on one circle and cut out the shapes thereafter. Next, paint both the cut-out circles in two contrasting colours. Stick them together once dried and paste it on the surface of the thali. Make sure the thali is painted in the same colour as the base circle.

Tip: Lend the pooja thali a decorative touch with exquisite beads and sparkling crystals. When gift-wrapping, add some hand-painted diyas.

From paisley patterns to florals to festive elements like matkas, lanterns, and diyas; there’s absolutely no limit when it comes to creating your personalised greeting card. And lastly, don’t forget to mention your heartfelt greetings on the inside of the card.

Tip: Complete the card by writing with watercolour brush pens for an aesthetic touch. This old-school festive giveaway can be complemented with another gifting option of your choice.
