15 Diwali Gift Ideas for Clients
That Aren't Dry Fruits (2026)

A common tiering: ₹500–1,000 for the broad client list, ₹1,500–2,500 for key accounts, and ₹3,000–5,000 for strategic relationships. Stay aware that many companies cap acceptable gifts around ₹5,000 - a thoughtful mid-budget gift beats an extravagant one that compliance makes them return.

Aim for 3–7 days before Diwali, which falls in early November 2026. Gifts arriving during festival week risk landing in an empty office. Work backwards: order by October 15, dispatch outstation gifts by late October.

Input tax credit on goods disposed of as gifts is blocked, so GST paid on client gifts becomes part of your gift cost rather than a credit you can claim. Keep invoices and a gift register for audit. See our full guide to GST on corporate gifts - and confirm specifics with your chartered accountant.

Lightly, if at all. A logo sleeve on the packaging or a branded card is fine; a logo printed across the gift itself turns a gesture into an advertisement. The most-kept client gifts carry the client's name more prominently than the giver's.
