Handmade gifts under ₹299

Under ₹299 is the range where a gift has to work hardest — cheap enough to give casually, but it still has to not look cheap. That's exactly where a handmade piece earns its keep: a crocheted keychain or small accessory costs little, but because it's made by hand rather than injection-moulded in bulk, it doesn't read as an afterthought the way a same-priced shop item usually does.

This is also the range most people reach for when gifting isn't the main event — a small thank-you, a Teacher's Day token, a Rakhi add-on alongside something bigger. Small, but still worth giving well.
