Gone are the days when a generic Soan Papdi box or a Christmas cake would be passed around from hand to hand until it reached the first person in the link herself. People and their methods of life are gradually becoming more and more intentional and they are realising that every purchase has a larger consequence. Gifts can either become objects of awe and inspiration or can be long remembered or forgotten – for their own reasons. All said and done, the bottom line is that it is necessary to find something that says the right thing and above all, is genuinely meaningful and useful. The quest for the perfect gift – the shining box with just the right bow, just the right packaging, and just the most useful, intentional, sustainable, fashionable, affordable, and loveable item inside – is still on and by the looks of it, with the innumerable permutations and combinations, is going to be on for a little while.

Right at this moment, however, allow us to help you pick just the right gift and present to you the century’s biggest gifting guide.

From artisanal alcohol to upcycled fashion, this intentionally curated list of 100 homegrown brands features the best of all worlds.

While it might help to know that perfection is a myth, the quest to perfection is a beautiful journey, you will get to know.
