Diwali Gifting Guide 2025: Unique Candles, Lanterns & Home Accents

 

As the air fills with the scent of incense and homes light up in a soft golden glow, you know Diwali is just around the corner. There’s something magical about this time of year — the laughter of loved ones, the clinking of teacups over evening chats, and the twinkle of diyas lighting every corner.

And what better way to celebrate this season of light than with thoughtful gifts that turn houses into homes? Whether you’re looking for something traditional, elegant, or just heart-warmingly beautiful, we’ve rounded up our favourite festive finds for gifting this Diwali.

1. Elegant Candles & Candle Stands

Diwali evenings are made for soft glows and flickering flames. Gifting scented candles is always a classic — they infuse spaces with gentle fragrances and create a serene ambience.

Pair them with sleek candle stands or go all out with a Victorian 5-Arm Candelabra, and you’ve got a gift that instantly transforms any dinner table into a festive soirée. Whether it’s for a host or a loved one, candles are symbolic of light, warmth, and togetherness — making them the perfect Diwali present.

2. Classic Lanterns

No festive setup is complete without a warm corner by lantern light. Classic square lanterns surrounded by lotus blooms are a timeless pick — they look equally stunning at the entrance or out on the lawn.

3. Marble Trays & Urlis

For something more traditional, gift a marble urli. Float some flowers and tealights in it, and it becomes a soulful centerpiece that adds a soulful, festive allure.

Marble trays, on the other hand, are versatile staples — perfect for entryways, bedside tables, or as a base for festive vignettes. Both make elegant yet meaningful gifts that can be styled year after year.

 

Serveware for the Festive Feast

Diwali is incomplete without shared meals, laughter echoing across the table, and the unmistakable joy of festive feasting. And nothing elevates a gathering quite like beautiful serveware. Picture a table laid with a large egg-shaped platter overflowing with festive snacks, mithais, or a colourful salad — it instantly becomes the centerpiece that draws everyone in. A crystal-edged dome metal cake stand sits nearby, its gleaming surface catching the warm candlelight, making your desserts look even more tempting.

For accompaniments and side dishes, a glass and jasper bowl adds a touch of understated elegance, while ceramic dinner plates with tropical leaf motifs bring a refreshing, nature-inspired charm to the tablescape. Layer it all on a hand block printed table runner, and suddenly the entire setting feels thoughtfully curated — a perfect blend of artisanal craft and festive flair. These are the kind of details that turn simple dinners into memorable feasts, making your table a true reflection of celebration.
