Every Diwali, we find ourselves in the same situation — exchanging sweets, smiling politely, and quietly thinking, “Not another box of kaju katli!” While the traditional mithai box will always have its charm, Diwali 2025 is calling for something different — something memorable, meaningful, and a little more you.
As gifting becomes more personal and thoughtful, people are looking for unique Diwali hampers that go beyond convention. The best gifts today aren’t about quantity or price — they’re about experience, creativity, and connection.

Frequently Asked Questions — Diwali 2025
1. When is Diwali in 2025?
Diwali/Deepavali in 2025 falls during the new-moon (Amavasya) period on October 20–21, 2025. Because the Amavasya tithi spans both days, many families observe Lakshmi Puja on October 20, 2025, though some calendars list key rituals on October 21. For exact puja timings for your city, consult a local panchang or priest.
2. What are the essential preparations to make for Diwali this year?
Start with a short checklist: clean and declutter the home, plan your rangoli and lighting, stock up on diyas/candles, order gifts and sweets early, and schedule puja items (flowers, incense, offerings). If hosting guests, prepare a simple menu and seating plan. Prioritize health and safety—keep fire-safe decor and child/pet-friendly placements for candles and lamps.
3. When should I order Diwali hampers and gifts to ensure on-time delivery?
For domestic city deliveries, order at least 5–7 days before your preferred delivery date; for pan-India or remote-area delivery, allow 10–14 days. During peak festival weeks, couriers are busy, so early ordering guarantees fresher flowers, premium packaging, and timely delivery. Consider express options if ordering last minute.
4. How can I make Diwali 2025 more eco-friendly?
Choose LED lights or traditional oil diyas over noisy fireworks, use biodegradable or reusable decor and packaging, pick plantable or potted gifts, buy sweets in recyclable boxes, and avoid single-use plastics. Supporting local artisans and buying organic or handmade items also reduces environmental impact while boosting community livelihoods.
5. What are some fresh Diwali gifting ideas beyond the typical mithai box?
Consider curated hampers: flower + chocolate combos, wellness & self-care kits, gourmet snack boxes, personalized keepsake hampers, or eco hampers with plants and reusable decor. These options create memorable moments and suit different budgets and relationships.
