" A gift is a small gesture that carries big message ."
Buying gifts during festival season can be stressful at times. Whether it is Diwali or Christmas that you are shopping for finding unique gifts can feel daunting. Candles, dessert boxes, gift cards are the favorite picks and absolutely safe bets. As much as I appreciate receiving any gift I feel some of these gifts do look like last minute finds. There is nothing wrong in giving classics or picking things off a store shelf. Personally I love DIY gifts.
It is a blessing that I have a coworker who is an artist. Indeed a very talented artist I must say. She is also caring and a thoughtful person . My Diwali gift from her is this beautiful handmade wooden tray. And I was just enchanted hearing the story behind its making. She literally made this product from start to finish. She got a rectangular wooden piece and sanded it down. Then drilled wooden handles into it to make it into a serving tray. She read about Diwali online as she does not celebrate this festival. After her research revealed the significance of Diwali lights she drew the diyas onto the tray. She made it a point to use my favorite color blue for painting the diya design.
Lot of thoughtfulness and efforts went into making this beautiful tray. A beautiful, unique piece of art with traditional motifs and intricate detailing. This is a gift I will always cherish. The feeling of receiving something so thoughtful, personal and handmade will stay with me forever. This tray is definitely a part of my festive decor for years to come. I felt loved and happy this festive season. Hope you all did as well. Happy Diwali to you all.
