Navratri / Golu Gift Ideas

Coming to the gift part, first and foremost thing I would like to stress is 'Gift' is not important for a celebration. The boosting of spirit & sweet memories are the best gifts you can give your guests as a wonderful Host.

Still sharing some ideas if you desire to gift. 

Few points before you buy a gift:-

  • Plan it as per your budget.
  • Prepare a list of Guest whom you expect will attend the golu so that accordingly you can decide on the suitable gift for them
  • Seasonal gifts

SPIRITUAL GIFTS :-

  1. Idols of deities
  2. Mythological / Spiritual stories
  3. Decorative items for deities (for those who conduct poojas)viz.,  garlands, vagamalai, throne, seat, Umbrella, Thombai, etc (you can google to see the pictures to get an idea on what they are)
  4. Small dresses & jewelleries for small idol of gods etc
  5. Brass items viz., urulis, etc.

FANCY / DECOR ITEMS :-

  1. A stone studded kum kum chests
  2. Tamboolam set or Aarati Plates  [plate, kum kum, haldi, lamp (fixed) ] This will help the receiver to use for their poojas.
  3. Wooden covered agarbathi stand cum box (it will be nice to see the smoke coming out of the holes, the ash falls into the box thus helps for easy cleaning)
  4. Imitation jewellery sets, pendants
