Any Hindus on here can give me some advice?

What would be a good thing to send to DD's Hindu pil and to dd and her partner as presents for Divali? None of them are particularly religious, but celebrate the festivals. We celebrated with them last year and I baked a cake, but we need to send something this year. Any ideas?

Money is the traditional gift. Multiples of 5 or 7 in a nice money envelope ideally with laxi pagla stickets inside that they can use at home.

@Ozanj Even for the pils?

Candles / candle holders
Sweets (of any kind) but what about some lovely glacé fruits?

No, you really wouldn’t be expected to send PILs money.

Are they in the uk? We use Guptas to send Diwali sweets to family we aren't seeing. The order deadline will be close though. DH is the Hindu not me.

Indian sweets is the usual gift

Fancy sweet things eg posh chocolates that they can also put out for visitors for the in laws - if you’re not Indian I would leave Indian sweets to them!
for your DD and partner it’s a bit more flex like a birthday or Christmas present although if you don’t know the partner well something like a lovely candle for the home would be nice and appropriate given it’s the festival of lights and lots of candles will be lit

You can gift luxury chocolates or low sugar sweets. Even dry fruits such as pistachio and cashews, roasted or salted. Giving traditional Indian sweets is getting a bit outdated now, especially due to people having diabetes or not wanting to eat too much sweet.
If you steer clear of food, then artsy tea tray sets or tea coaster or diyas are nice gifts.

Yes. It’s traditional when your sons become householders for them to give cash to you. DH gives money to mil. DBs give money to our DPs

I don’t know if I hate you a little or I’m falling in love with you.

it didn’t even occur to me that I could get my favourites delivered, iv always traveled to my local big city to treat myself every so often, I can see me spend easily a £50+ order on there!

Candles and chocolates will be fine. You can give anything sweet or nuts are also a good choice.

@Ginkypig they are absolutely authentic as well, taste just as good as the ones my family bring over from India.
