Festivals bring great joy to our hearts. We all want our gifts to be special and unique, and hence they should bear a personal touch that comes only with a lot of understanding, patience and care for the person whom the gift is intended for. We have put together a list of gifts that you might want to give to your loved ones to make the occasion more festive. Gold is one metal considered very auspicious, especially in Indian society. Buying your loved one a piece of gold jewellery would perhaps add a little more warmth to your relationship with that person. Not just women, men too love flaunting those gold chains and bracelets. While wearing gold on festive occasions necessarily reflects one’s traditions and beliefs, gold is a huge fashion statement for many; fashion-conscious people believe gold will never go out of style. Gold jewellery is not only a valuable item in terms of the price the golden metal comes with but also a precious possession for many who love to follow family traditions and culture. In case you have a tight budget, you can opt for silver jewellery or articles made of silver which is considered equally auspicious, for instance, silver coins, silver utensils, or silver showpieces and collectables. As far as buying ornaments is concerned, chances are you may well be lucky enough to get heavily discounted rates for both gold and silver items of jewellery as most jewellery houses would put out special offers for the festive season, and one can always get the piece of jewellery done as per one’s choice of design. Speaking of options, gold-plated and stone-embellished jewellery is well-liked for its visual appeal. It can also be mentioned here that gold comes in different hues, depending on the alloys the basic yellow gold is mixed with. So, apart from the classic bright yellow gold, you have rose gold, green gold, black gold, purple gold, grey gold and blue gold to choose from.
