With Diwali just around the corner, now is a great time to check off shopping from your pre-festive to-do list. While sweets and chocolates are usually the most obvious choice, here are some gifting options that are offbeat. Think skincare sets from Kimirica and jewellery from Anita Dongre.
For a luscious bath
This bath and body care trio of shower gel, body lotion and body soap from Kimirica comes in elegant packaging and works for all skin types. The body lotion has a subtle French Lavender aroma and the soap bar comes with a beautiful lavender mint fragrance. Truly invigorating, the trio of products gently cleans and exfoliates the skin, leaving it oil-free, moisturised and fragrant for hours.
Rs 2,215
Love in the hair
Kama Ayurveda’s special-edition gift box — Akashini Haircare Box — is a thoughtful present for your loved ones. The box includes a bottle each of Bringadi Oil and Bringadi Hair Cleanser, clinically proven to reduce hair fall. It also comes with a paraben-free conditioner and a neem comb.

Coffee break
Gent’s Energised Skincare Kit from The Body Shop is made with guarana seeds from Brazil and green coffee beans from Ethiopia. The products — cleanser and moisturiser — are sealed inside a stylish, reusable cork toiletries bag.

Beard science
The Mustache and Beard Oil from Deyga is a great gifting option for men. The oil is a blend of flaxseed, argan, pumpkin seed, and jojoba oils. It also comprises cinnamon and peppermint essential oils which refresh and
