Vishu is an ideal time to exchange greetings and gifts. Here is a list of gifting ideas this festive season

Vishu – the much awaited Malayalam New Year has arrived and Malayalis the world over are exuberant. When it comes to gifting for Vishu, however, one can gift new clothes, jewellery, accessories, gadgets and other items to friends and family. Here are a few options:

Cash: Cash or coins, is the most welcome gift on Vishu that is given as Vishu Kaineettam by the eldest member of the family. This one gift that will not go to waste, and a little extra cash is always welcome!
New clothes: A key element of the Vishu celebration is the practice of buying new clothes for the entire household. It is a welcome gift on any festive season and always appreciated. The traditional kasavu sari or set mundu is an ideal gift for the ladies in the family and mundu for the men.

Firecrackers: Fireworks are a part of Vishu and children delight in bursting crackers on the previous day as well on Vishu. With the numerous options available in the market, ensure that the festive spirit is kept high by gifting firecrackers.

Sweet Savouries: Like any other festival, sweets are an integral part of Vishu too, apart from the traditional Vishu Sadya. Gifting a box of traditional Indian sweets is ideal. One can also share with friends and neighbours the variety of payasams made for Sadya, such as paal payasam, palada, ada pradhaman.

Gifts cards: Gift cards and vouchers make great gift options for celebrating our festivals. They are easy to buy and are delivered directly to your recipients. It also makes it easy for the recepients who can choose gifts from various categories like apparel, books, music, electronics, home décor and much more.
