Diwali gifting can be challenging, particularly when your friends have strong opinions or are fussy about what they wear; there’s the minimalist who wouldn’t be caught dead in sequins, the maximalist who considers a statement earring an everyday essential and the fashion obsessive who somehow already owns everything you’ve bookmarked. The trick is to pay attention to their personal style rather than simply buying something festive. After all, a good gift should feel like something they would have chosen for themselves, only better.
