This Diwali takes place in the middle of the week leaving very little time to select gifts for the loved ones. We believe that an ideal gift would make it usable by anyone in the family — from kids to grandparents. It should benefit the family as a whole. That’s why we put in more than the usual thought in compiling the list.
While most items would appeal more to the grown-ups, some of them are incredibly user friendly. The idea is not to overwhelm someone with a gadget that requires too much tinkering just to get it working. Hence, the selection consists of the most popular products that can be used by people of any age. Well, not toddlers for sure.
