5 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Diwali Perfume Gift Set

Diwali is almost here and if there’s one thing everyone loves about it besides the sparkles, delicacies and gatherings, it’s gifts. But as fun as receiving gifts is, thinking of out-of-the-box gifts every year isn’t as easy. If you too are bored of the traditional Diwali gift hampers, give them a miss and pick perfume gift sets that your friends and family will not just love but use all year round. 

But with so many fragrance gift sets in the market, how to choose the one that makes for the best Diwali gift? Don’t worry, we’re here to help. Whether you’re looking for Diwali gift sets online or at a store, we will help you find just the right scented gifts for every recipient on your list. Here are five essential tips that will help you choose the perfect perfume hamper for your loved ones. 

• Consider the Recipient’s Personality

Diwali or not, choosing a perfume gift set requires careful consideration of the recipient’s personality. After all, perfume is an extension of our personality. So, start by understanding the recipient’s taste, preferences and lifestyle. Are they adventurous and outgoing, constantly seeking new experiences and thrills? Or are they more reserved, desiring the comfort of familiar surroundings? 

If adventure is their middle name, go for bold and exotic fragrances with woody or spicy scents. On the other hand, if they are drawn towards classic and sophisticated scents, then choose fragrances with vanilla, sandalwood or floral notes. 

• Keep in Mind the Occasion

Since you’re choosing a Diwali gift set, you can’t really ignore the occasion. Diwali is a celebration filled with joy, warmth and vibrancy. So, it’s only befitting that the perfume gift set you’re presenting should also radiate the same vibes. Opt for perfumes that are rich and warm, ideal for festive gatherings. Look for fragrance notes of spices, sweet florals or warm woods that resonate with the spirit of the season. 

For instance, our Gift a Memory Women’s Perfume Gift features a range of floral, fruity, spicy and woody scents that will cheer up any woman’s mood. The best part about our House of RIYA perfume gift sets is that they don’t sting the skin or stain the fabrics like other perfumes do. So, don’t worry about staining your fancy silks as you get all dressed up this Diwali!

• Pick Something Versatile

If you’re buying a Diwali gift for a couple or family, it’s important to choose a fragrance gift set that holds scents for both men and women. To be on the safer side, it’s best to go for a unisex perfume gift. Unisex perfumes feature versatile notes that complement both genders. For instance, our Gift a Memory Unisex Perfume Gift Set has just the right cluster of aromatic, floral, spicy and woody notes. 

Alternatively, you can get a perfume hamper for men and one for women to ensure nobody feels left out. Additionally, make sure that the gift set has both light and deep fragrances that can be worn during the day as well as evening celebrations. Our Gift a Memory fragrance sets have options for various occasions throughout the festive season. 

• Pay Attention to the Presentation

The art of gift-giving doesn’t just involve choosing a thoughtful gift but also, presenting it in a beautiful manner. After all, there’s so much joy in unwrapping delicate, festive packaging. Whether you’re browsing Diwali gift sets online or picking them out at a store, make sure to choose a fragrance gift set that comes in a gift box that elevates the value of your gift.

House of RIYA perfume gift sets, for instance, come in elegantly designed bottles and packaging that make them no less than a piece of art. Believe it or not, you’ll not want to throw away the packaging even after you’ve used the perfumes!

• Don’t Forget to Personalise

Last but not least, make sure to add a personal touch to your Diwali gift set. Personalising your gift can make the gesture even more thoughtful and special. For instance, you can elevate a perfume gift set by adding a handwritten note, a shower gel or body lotion that complements the fragrance. Alternatively, you can add a box of desserts, dry fruits or even candles that will go perfectly with the spirit of Diwali. 

Final Thoughts

As the festive season approaches and you get all busy with picking out outfits, decorating your home and hosting get-togethers, it’s best to pick out your Diwali gifts in advance. And instead of the usual Son Papdi, crockery and home appliances, surprise your loved ones with perfume gift sets this year. Luxurious, thoughtful and timeless, perfumes make for the best gifts regardless of the occasion. 

While picking out a perfume hamper, remember to consider the recipient’s personality and the occasion, go for something versatile, and don’t forget the packaging and personalisation. At House of RIYA, we have curated Gift a Memory fragrance gift sets that suit every occasion and recipient. So, what are you waiting for?
