Diwali gifts under $50

Small gifts carry a lot of meaning at Diwali. A single diya or a pair of tealight holders is the classic "something to light on the night" gift, and it's ideal for workmates, neighbours or as an add-on to a box of sweets.

• Brass Lotus Diya ($14.99): a simple, solid brass oil lamp shaped like a lotus. Lovely in a set of three or five.
• Brass Shankh Diya ($20.00): a conch-shaped diya, traditionally linked with auspicious beginnings.
• Brass Lotus Diya with Handle ($24.99): easy to carry for aarti, and a good choice for someone setting up their first home mandir.
• German Silver Peacock Tealight Holder ($29.99): one of our best sellers, with a soft silver shine that suits modern homes.
• Brass Om Wall Hanging ($41.99) or Brass Ik Onkar Wall Hanging ($49.99): a lasting piece for an entrance or prayer space.
• Gold Metal Ball Flower Vase ($49.99): fill it with marigolds for Diwali and it keeps working all year.

Diwali gifts from $50 to $100

This is the sweet spot for family gifts and for hosts when you're invited to a Diwali dinner. Candle holders and urlis are the most popular choices, because they become part of the celebration itself.

• Antique Brass Finish Peacock Candle Holder ($69.99): the peacock is a festive favourite, and this one throws beautiful shadows once lit.
• Owl Figurine Pair Tea Light Holder ($69.99): the owl is associated with Goddess Lakshmi, which makes this a fitting Diwali gift.
• Gold Swan Figurine Candle Holder Pair with Gift Box ($79.99): arrives gift-boxed, so it's ready to hand over.
• Mayur Jyoti German Silver Dhuna ($79.99): a peacock-topped dhuna for dhoop and incense during Lakshmi Puja.
• Brass Ganesha Diya ($59.99): a meaningful choice, since Ganesha is worshipped alongside Lakshmi on Diwali night.
• Lotus Urli Decorative Bowl, Gold ($99.99): float flowers and tealights in it for an instant entryway centrepiece.

Diwali gifts over $100

For parents, in-laws, or a special "thank you", these statement pieces are made to be kept and passed down.

• Brass Spice Box with Gift Box ($134.99): our most-gifted piece. Practical, beautiful, and something a home cook will use every day.
• Brass Kalpvriksh with Birds ($134.99): the "wish-fulfilling tree", a symbol of prosperity and a wonderful Diwali or housewarming gift.

Ready-made gift sets and hampers

Short on time? Our Diwali Gift Sets & Festive Bundles bring together pieces that work as a set, such as an urli with diyas, or a trio of candle holders, already priced below the cost of buying each item separately. They're a good option when you want one gift that feels complete.

Buying for a team or clients? See our Corporate Diwali Gifts, and get in touch if you need several of the same item.

How to choose the right Diwali gift

• Think light. Diwali is the festival of lights, so diyas, tealight holders and lanterns are always on theme.
• Choose something that lasts. Brass and German silver pieces become part of the family's celebrations for years, and they develop a lovely character over time. Our brass care guide covers how to keep them shining.
• Gift-boxed is a bonus. Pieces that arrive in a gift box save you a step and look special on arrival.
• Not sure of their style? Gold-toned candle holders and vases suit both traditional and modern Australian homes.

When to order for Diwali delivery

Couriers get busy in the weeks before Diwali, and many people want their décor in place for Dhanteras on 6 November. To be safe, we recommend ordering by the end of October. Ordering before 29 October also means you get 15% off with our Festive Sale.
