Holi gifts that are off the beaten track

Holi, the festival of colours, is synonymous with festivity, merriment and bonding. Over the years, the traditional custom of people personally meeting to greet their family and friends may have transitioned to the current trend of large get-togethers organized in open spaces. But the basic essence of the festival – that of camaraderie and bonding – remains unchanged.

What Are You Planning to Gift this Holi?

If you’re planning to host or attend one such get-together this Holi, you might want to give traditional gifts a pass for a more unconventional and practical gifting option.

Boxes of sweets and the like are becoming a passé, with people becoming increasingly health and fitness conscious. But again, there are others who would find festivals to be incomplete without the sweet quotient. Taking a guess and estimating the number of boxes you’d need to get or thinking of the alternative gifting options for those who might want to do away with the boxes could be a pain. Why not let them have their pick?

How’s that possible? Here’s how:

With a Woohoo Gift card, you give the recipient the freedom to choose exactly what he wants. If dry fruits or a sweets hamper or namkeen is what he wants, he could use your gift card to order it online from Amazon.in. While those who would prefer non-food items could go with things like home décor items from Home Stop, @Home or Shoppers Stop. If apparel is a preference, he could choose to pick anything online from Myntra or at stores of brands like Lifestyle, Westside, Marks & Spencers, and a host of others. As for the little ones, they could take their pick from an array of options at Crossword, Fastrack, and more.

So stock up on your Woohoo Gift Cards today from Woohoo.in and enjoy a stress-free Holi.

Last-Minute Gift Ideas that Don’t Look Last-Minute!

We’ve all been there, and done that; the last-minute hassles of gift-buying, the rush, the resultant mistakes and guilt when we compromise on the gift’s quality or utility. Everyone forgets special occasions and birthdays at times. However, that last minute rush when we’re stressed for time and the guilt we feel when we forget makes us pick up any instant gift that’ll fit the bill. Then we end up facing awful traffic (just on that day), not to speak of parking issues, and a line at the store on top of it.

If everything goes well, there’s always the chance that we end up picking something that’s not appropriate for the occasion. Like we said, we’ve all been there and done that.
