How Birthday Gifts Can Make Or Break The Birthday Boy Or Girl’s Day

Even after childhood has made way for adult life, we still cherish the thrill of getting a birthday gift and opening the wrapping of the gift with great curiosity to see what the we have been given. A birthday gift can make our day if the giver has put some thought into it and chosen a gift that we will like very much or use very often, or both. On the other hand, a commonplace birthday gift can be banished to the corner of a room if the receiver feels that it could have been chosen for anyone, and there is nothing unique about it.

Here Are Some Great Gift Ideas for Lohri That You Can Use

Winter will go away soon, and to mark the end of winter, many parts of the country will celebrate with a bonfire on Lohri. Traditionally this festival is also celebrated to mark the harvest of the winter crop and to seek blessings (and heat) from the Sun! As with most festivals, this one is also accompanied by the exchanging of gifts. Traditionally, children used to go from door to door and collect logs as gifts, which would be burnt in the Lohri bonfire. But in today’s age one must think up some good gift ideas for Lohri that will be well appreciated.

Here Are Some Traditional Gift Ideas for Lohri That You Can Use

It is widely believed that Lohri is celebrated in Punjab and other parts of North India to celebrate the end of cold winters, and to welcome back the Sun God. But some people also believe that Lohri is a celebration of the harvest of the winter (Rabi) crop. Whatever the reason for the festival, it is celebrated with great gusto in the month of January every year. And what’s an Indian festival without lots of singing, dancing, food and exchange of gifts? So as we get ready to celebrate Lohri this year, here are some great gift ideas for Lohri.

A long time back, Lohri gifts used to consist of a few logs of wood that would be presented by each household to the neighborhood kids who went around the door to door to collect firewood for the Lohri bonfire. Another easy and common gift was cash. But nowadays many people prefer to give gifts in kind. Pooja Thalis are one of the most popular Lohri gifts. They can be presented with fruits or dry fruits, and they could be made of silver or brass. Hampers of dry fruits (just like in Diwali) are another popular Lohri gift. One must remember that peanuts and rewari are the most popular dry fruits during Lohri, and these are thrown into the bonfire to signify the discarding of the old to start the new, so the dry fruit hampers should ideally have them too. Or one could opt for hampers of rewari and gajjak. Of course, one can always fall back upon the ever popular flowers and sweets. Attractive decorative bunches of flowers can be purchased, and similarly, the mithais (sweets) for Lohri come in attractively designed boxes and gift packs.

Choose your Lohri gift and get ready to sing and dance around the bonfire!
