One
of the first thoughts that cross our minds when we are shopping for gifts is
the value they will come to hold for the receiver. Gifts are all about the
thought we put into them and the meanings we attach to them. They need not
always be expensive in order to be loved or appreciated. They can be simple,
understated and inexpensive but they should be memorable. There are plenty of
times in our lives when we have to think about gifting our family and friends
with formal gifts. These include festivals and special occasions like house
warming, pujas, anniversaries etc. Since our gifts will have to be shared and
enjoyed with the family, it is best to purchase gifts that are in accordance
with our traditional values.
Such
occasions always bring to minds Indian handicrafts
which are the best gift that we can make during important festivities and
celebrations. Handmade craft items are not only a great purchase for our home
décor but also an ideal gift option for our loved ones. Handicrafts from India
are not merely confined to one region. They take different forms throughout the
lengths and breadth of the country. From Kashmir to Kerala and from Arunachal
Pradesh to Gujarat they take different forms depending on the local customs,
climate, culture and availability of raw material. Thus handicrafts signify
something deeper than what meets the eye. They become an ideal gift for
capturing the different festivities and celebrations which also draw heavily
from individual regions.
