But gifting has become a lot more complex, thanks to e-commerce platforms and social media. There’s so much to choose from (and there’s always so little time!)

Whether you want to gift your loved ones a hamper full of sweet treats or even an inedible but unique gift, we have you covered. Have a rocking Diwali by getting the right gifts for yourself and your loved ones!Theobroma’s Diwali Goodies
When it comes to Diwali gifts, sweetmeats are always the best things to give. You can be sure the receiver of the gift will make use of your gift and enjoy it as well! But instead of the usual barfis and mithais, this Diwali get a little experimental by gifting some of our confectionaries. They are just as sweet, and we contend, even more delightful. We offer a wide range of desserts, sweets puffs, biscuits and pastries that are scrumptious and satisfying. We also offer a whole range of savoury goodies for those who do not have a sweet tooth.

We hope our exciting list of Diwali gift ideas has made it a little easier for you to shop for this festive season. Another great tip to remember when gifting is to gift the person what they like, and not what you think they should like. Asking the person directly or indirectly what they need or what has caught their eye in the recent past is a good way to find out what you could gift them.
So have a blast this Diwali (but please keep it noise and firecracker-free). Stay safe, stay merry. Happy Diwali!
