Indian Housewarming Gifts: 12 Handmade Ideas Beyond the Cliche

A new home is an empty page. A good housewarming gift writes the first warm line, something with texture, history and a little soul. Here are ideas that are not another scented candle.

Brass that grounds a room

A handmade brass bowl or urli-style centrepiece is the piece guests notice. Our Brass Atelier is full of Moradabad pieces built to outlast the people who buy them.

Textiles with a story

A block-print kantha throw or cushion adds instant warmth. See The Living Room for hand-printed and kantha pieces in saturated natural colour.

Wall art that means something

Kutch Lippan mirror work turns a blank wall into a piece of the country you came from, explore The Art Wall.
