Must Buy Diwali Gifts from 6 Women-led Businesses

Must Buy Diwali Gifts from 6 Women-led Businesses

Being a small but proud business ourselves, we understand what goes behind curating gifting options during the festive season. We personally believe that supporting small businesses is a win-win for both the buyer & the seller. 

The customers (you) play a huge role in supporting a small business by giving a shout out & throwing light on otherwise unnoticed, good brands. And the seller (us) get recognised for our good & ethical work, that would otherwise be difficult to make a mark at a national market. 

So we give you 6 small businesses that you can buy from, to gift your loved ones a Diwali that’s more meaningful:

1. Illustrations by Rina Maria 

A software engineer by profession and an artist at heart, Rina Maria started showcasing her illustrations to the world when her colleagues at work started appreciarting her work. Her illustrations are a mood in themselves! From calendars to wall paintings to stickers, they’re going to be a unique & special gift for any of your loved ones, this Diwali. Why we love her is spirit is because, she loves spreading her creative energy and bringing joy into others lives with colors and her paintings!
