At Diwali, people do not want to think — they want a gift that looks good and arrives on time. A Diwali gift hamper does exactly that. It also lets you sell three or four items in one order, at a better total than single items.
Hamper ideas by type of shop
- Sweet shops: a box of dry sweets, a pack of namkeen and two diyas.
- Dry fruit sellers: almonds, cashews and raisins in small jars with a wooden tray.
- Home decor: a brass diya, scented candles and a small rangoli stencil.
- Beauty and wellness: a face pack, lip balm and a scented soap in a cloth pouch.
- Tea and spice shops: two teas, a spice box and a pair of cups.
- Handicraft sellers: a painted box, a toran and a small idol.
Make three sizes
Offer a small, medium and large hamper. Most buyers pick the middle one, so make it your best value. Keep the small one simple for people buying many gifts.
A simple way to price
- Add up what the items cost you.
- Add the box, filler, ribbon and card.
- Add packing time and shipping.
- Add your profit margin.
Then compare with buying the items one by one. The hamper should feel like a slightly better deal, plus the beautiful packing.
Corporate hampers
Offices order 20, 50 or 100 hampers. List "Corporate pack of 25" as its own product with its own price. Offer a printed message card with the company's name. Take very large orders on WhatsApp and send a payment link.
Packing that survives the courier
- Use a firm box inside a plain outer carton.
- Fill gaps with shredded paper so nothing moves.
- Wrap glass jars and diyas in bubble wrap.
- Avoid fresh sweets for far-away delivery.
Photos that sell
Show the hamper closed and open. List every item with its weight or size. Buyers want to know exactly what is inside.
Listing hampers on your store
List each hamper as one product with its own photos, contents list and price. Coupon codes can give early-bird discounts. On our Pro and Elite plans, frequently-bought-together suggestions can show a hamper next to single items, and Shiprocket books couriers across India.
