Diwali is right around the corner and among the preparations like cleaning, decoration, shopping we have to think of the gifts. And what do we gift each other on Diwali?
A sweet box or dry fruits! How trite! And the good old boxes are passed around without ever being unpacked or the receiver giving them a second look!
So, to break the monotony we have fashioned a list of our favourite bakery hampers that you can gift rather than the passé sweet box.
