12 Diwali Gift Ideas for Corporates
1. Personalized Desk Accessories
You spent most of your daytime at the office and you know what your teammate needs the most in terms of Desk accessories. You can consider gifting those items to them.
But adding a personalized touch to it would make your efforts more thoughtful. Some items you can consider personalizing:
- pen holders,
- paperweights, and
- business card holders
They would add elegance to the worker’s space and serve as a reminder of your appreciation whenever they see it.
2. Sustainable Accessories
Gifting sustainable accessories like bamboo or cork stationery items are great options for Diwalcorporate gifting. You can find so many eco-friendly gifts and upcycled items on online marketplaces.
This will reduce the carbon footprint and make them move towards sustainability.
3. Luxury Candles and Diyas
Diwali is the recipient of light, so why not gift luxury candles and Diyas to your team members and make it a bright festive season for them too?
You can opt for scented candles or traditional Diyas with intricate designs. These naturally scented candles keep the air fresh and inviting. They create a warm and welcoming ambiance, perfect for the festive season.
If you want to go on a minimum budget you can buy a medium-sized diya and paint it yourself before gifting.
We did this last year. Though we didn’t gift them to anybody, we used them in our Diwali decorations but I am sure they will make a great Diwali gift too.
4. Delicious Food Baskets
Food baskets filled with traditional Indian sweets, chocolates, or savory snacks are a delightful gift.
Surprise your recipients with locally sourced snacks and savories with eco-friendly packing. This not only supports sustainability but also promotes healthier food choices.
5. Dry fruits and Nuts Baskets
For their exquisite taste and luxurious presentations, dry fruits and nuts baskets are considered a greater option for gifting. You can also include healthy options like herbal teas. This gift is perfect for sharing with colleagues.
One of the best advantages of gifting dried fruits and nuts is that they will not get spoiled easily.
6. Customized Mugs and Water Bottles:
If you are concerned about improving your team’s water intake, this is the perfect option for you.
Mugs and water bottles are everyday utilities and are one of the best choices for a Diwali gift.
Customized mugs and water bottles with the company logo or a festive design would be a practical and thoughtful gift
Since they can be used daily, the personalized touch will make your team members feel more special whenever they use it.
7. Tech Accessories
Tech accessories like wireless chargers, power banks, or high-tech earbuds are useful gifts for employees and clients. They’re functional, and stylish, and show that you care about their tech needs.
If you are a great fan of sustainability, consider gifting solar-powered gadgets like phone chargers or power banks.
These gadgets harness renewable energy and reduce the reliance on traditional energy sources.
8. Wellness and Self-Care Hampers
The busy corporate culture puts self-care at bay for most people.
As a Diwali gift, you can consider gifting wellness and self-care hampers containing essential oils, scented soaps, or spa gift vouchers to promote relaxation and rejuvenation.
This gift shows that you value the well-being of your team and partners.
It also makes a perfect choice to promote a stress-free festive season.
7. Artistic Pieces and Decoratives
If you have a teammate or colleague who loves art, gifting artistic pieces like paintings, sculptures, or decorative items like lanterns, vases, or wall hangings would be a good choice.
They add a touch of elegance to any space. They’re perfect for offices, homes, or as a gift for clients.
Also, buying artisanal pieces supports local artisans.
As India is a home of handcrafted artisans you can find so many local art pieces in major cities and online as well.
8. Experiences and Subscriptions
Experiential gifts like tickets to cultural events, concerts, or festivals create lifelong memories which makes them a perfect Diwali gift choice for your teammates.
You can also opt for adventure activities like rock climbing, cooking classes, or wine tastings.
Experiences like wellness workshops, eco-tours, or subscriptions to environmentally-focused magazines are excellent options.
This way you also encourage meaningful and eco-conscious leisure.
9. Premium Stationery and Notebooks
No matter the age, the love for notebooks and stationeries never ceases for some people. I am one of them.
In the case of corporate gifting, premium stationery and notebooks with customized covers or unique designs are a thoughtful gift for employees and clients.
They’re practical and stylish and show that you value their writing and creative needs.

Eco-friendly gifts like reusable bags, steel flasks or steel water bottles, bamboo toothbrushes, or refillable straws promote sustainability and care for the environment.
This gift shows that your organization values eco-friendliness and social responsibility.

You can gift thoughtfully chosen books or journals that promote personal development.
You can also go ahead and add a personalized note for that extra touch.
