Here are some tips to help you find the perfect Lohri gifts for everyone in your circle.

Lohri is a popular festival in Punjab and is being celebrated for a long time now. For Lohri, women and men love to dress in traditional clothing and have a celebration surrounding the ceremonial bonfire. As dressing up is an important part of the festivities, gifting apparel seems like a good idea. You can gift traditional Lohri clothes or something that can be mixed and matched to create a fusion look like a jacket or a stole. Kurtas or kurtis, dupattas, bright colourful jackets, scarves, hair accessories like paranda for the women, are all great Lohri gifts.

If you want your gift to make a difference in the recipient’s life then never go for generic gifts. Choose your gifts properly, keeping in mind that person’s likes and dislikes. If you are going for clothes, confirm the size, also get an idea of the recipient's preferences. The person you gift it to may not reject it up front but at the same time will end up never using it. All your efforts will go in vain and the person might feel more hurt than happy with your limited information about him or her.

When in doubt take the sweet route...literally! Edibles and sweets are universally accepted and adored as gifts. One big pack can make everyone in the family happy and you do not have to be bothered with things like size and colour. However, just ensure that the edibles do not contain allergens. Also, make sure to check the quality of packaging so that there is no damage on the way.

Nothing can be more cherished than a personalised gift. From the efforts, you put in to choose a gift, to personalise it, to add a message to it denotes how much you care for the person. However, in case you do not have the time or creativity to go to this extent, at least get it wrapped properly and add a small note to it for your loved one(s).
