Best Diwali Gifts Singapore 2026: Deepavali Hampers, Mithai, Homeware & More

Few gifts capture the spirit of Diwali quite like a hamper filled with mithai, candles and thoughtful keepsakes, ready to be opened and shared with family and friends. The Hamper Story brings all of this together in its 2026 collection, reinforcing its place as a one-stop destination for festive gifting in Singapore. 

Each hamper pairs artisanal treats with decorative packaging designed to remain part of the home long after the last mithai has been enjoyed.

For Deepavali 2026, the collection pays tribute to India’s rich artistic heritage. Traditional crafts and decorative styles including Kalamkari, Kundan, Nakashi and Pichwai influence the colours, patterns and detailing of the packaging, turning each hamper into a festive centrepiece in its own right.

Among the collection’s more beautifully packaged options, Gulab Gulzar ($138) brings together a brass candle, Rose Almond Lauj, cashew treats and other festive favourites in a romantic, rose-inspired presentation. At a similar price point, Pichwai Utsav  features a ceramic candle, Saffron Katori and Rose Almond Lauj, presented in a keepsake influenced by the richly detailed Pichwai painting tradition.

Kalamkari Katha ($128) takes its cue from Kalamkari, an Indian textile art known for its storytelling motifs and detailed patterns. The art-led keepsake is filled with sweets and festive treats, making it a thoughtful option for families, hosts or friends who appreciate traditional Indian craftsmanship.

For a more indulgent gift, Nakashi Nazaakat ($168) pairs a palm candle with Saffron Katori, Rose Almond Lauj and other treats in an elegant keepsake inspired by ornamental Nakashi work. At the top end of this selection, Kundan Khazana ($198) takes inspiration from the jewel-like beauty of Kundan craftsmanship. It includes a silver candle, Saffron Katori, Rose Almond Lauj and more, making it well suited to close family, valued clients or important corporate recipients.

Each hamper combines something delicious with something lasting, removing the need to choose between traditional mithai, gourmet treats and a home gift. Want something different? The range can also be customised for personal preferences, corporate quantities and different gifting budgets. All prices include GST, with complimentary islandwide delivery and three-hour express delivery available.

For three Diwalis, The Whisk Affair has drawn a new map each year with its Diwali Dhamaka box, the world's most-loved bakes reimagined into Indian mithai, never the same route twice. Few would think to try these pairings, and fewer still could make them land with such finesse. The fourth journey wanders furthest of all, a collection that leaves the comfort of the familiar, from a Korean-Japanese salt bread cradling kaju katli and badam halwa, to a German Berliner filled, daringly, with gunpowder tomato chutney, to a small Spanish burnt Basque cheesecake in pistachio and rose. Each stop keeps one foot in the mithai it came from, and one in the country that reshaped it.

Where Around the World travels out, Jashn, new this year, comes home. It is modern mithai in miniature, the taste of every childhood Diwali, in a cleaner, contemporary form. Bars hold the memory of the classics: espresso Mysore pak, shahi gulkand, kaju katli. But the macarons steal the show, delicate shells holding paan, rose lychee, rasmalai and jalebi, proof that a flavour you have known all your life can still catch you off guard. Every bite tastes like something you remember, made new.

New this year, too, are corporate offerings: a mix of the collections above with shelf-stable items that travel and keep, as suited to client gifting as to a desk-drop for the whole team. Every box is fully customisable, from selection to finish.

Same festival, a further-flung map, and a new way to bring it home.

Located within Holiday Inn Singapore Little India, Gully Restaurant & Garden brings the lively flavours and easy-going spirit of Indian street food into a contemporary dining setting. This Diwali, the restaurant carries that same playful approach into festive gifting with ‘More Than a Sweet Gesture’, a collection of handcrafted mithai, premium accompaniments and chocolate gifts created in collaboration with luxury chocolatier Patchi.

From a box of handcrafted mithai to share at home to more elaborate gifts for colleagues, friends and business associates, this collection is designed around a simple belief. The best gifts are chosen with someone in mind. 

The Gully Mithai Box, priced at $55+, holds ten handcrafted sweets across five flavours: Rose Barfi, Kaju Katli, Anjeer Barfi, Paan Gulkand and Motichoor Laddu. For a more generous offering, the Gully Premium Mithai Box at $140+ pairs 16 artisanal mithai with four varieties of premium nuts.

The Gully x Patchi Festive Gift at $40+ presents the chocolatier’s signature creations in a sleek Gully box, while the Gully x Patchi Festive Gift with Mithai at $140+ brings chocolates and Indian sweets together for those who refuse to choose between the two.

Since 1983, Shahi Maharani has shared the flavours and hospitality of India with Singapore. Its Diwali mithai has become a much-loved part of the season, handmade fresh by master Halwais using vegetarian, halal-certified ingredients. Each sweet is delicately sweetened, free from preservatives and prepared with the same care as recipes passed through generations.

The 2026 collection brings back familiar favourites alongside Tropical Sunrise, a new coconut and pineapple ladoo with refreshing tropical notes. It joins Gram & Gud Delight, made with roasted gram, jaggery, mixed nuts and ghee; Mango Surprise, combining Alphonso mango with white chocolate; cardamom-scented Milk Cake; pistachio-filled Stuffed Cashew Roll finished with silver leaf; and Date & Nut Burfi, packed with dates, nuts and seeds.

For easy gifting, the Celebration Box ($78+) includes 15 pieces across five varieties and comes in a choice of teal or pink. The larger Royal Festive Box ($118+) contains 24 pieces and all six flavours from the collection, giving everyone around the table more to sample and share.

Those who prefer savoury Diwali gifts can choose the Royal Savoury Treats ($108+), with four jars of Spiced Cashews, Black Peppered Almonds, Roasted Pistachios and Walnuts. It also includes an artisan candle handcrafted by makers from rural Indian villages and presented in a hammered copper-finish vessel that can be retained after the festivities.

The Treasure Sugar & Spice Box ($158+) brings the sweet and savoury selections together in an opulent keepsake chest. Inside are 15 pieces of mithai, four jars filled with nuts and Shahi Maharani’s signature namkeen mixture, plus the artisan candle. Namak Paare and Gulab Jamun are also available separately in jars at $38+ each for entertaining at home or adding to a larger gift.

Orders require at least three days’ notice, with collection available from 22 October to 9 November. Delivery can be arranged at an additional charge, while corporate rates and customisation are available for bulk orders.

Diwali gifts become part of the celebration, carried to dinners, opened around the table and shared with loved ones. Lanos captures this beautifully with over 40 gifts spanning Indian craftsmanship, home décor, candles, mithai and festive hampers, all finished in its signature wrapping.

The Brass Candle Udhan ($60) is one of the collection’s most meaningful pieces. Inspired by Dhokra, an ancient metal-casting technique practised by tribal communities in Chhattisgarh, it turns a traditional craft into a beautiful addition to a modern home. Once the candle has finished, the handcrafted brass vessel can remain on display as a reminder of the person who gifted it.

For those who love hosting, the Fuchsia Set of Two Trays ($150) makes an impressive gift for Diwali parties and festive tea gatherings. Made from fine porcelain and finished with 24-carat gold detailing, the trays balance Indian design influences with a clean, contemporary shape. 

Lanos also covers the edible side of Diwali gifting. The Bling Festive Diwali Hamper ($75) includes a scented glass votive candle, 100g each of pistachios and almonds, Phool sustainable incense cones and a choice of six Motichoor Ladoos or Date Ladoos. With something to eat, light and enjoy at home, it is a beautiful option as a gift for your host or a hamper for family and friends.

Across the wider collection at Lanos, shoppers can choose from artisan-crafted brass lanterns, luxury scented candles, home accessories, hamper baskets and homemade Indian sweets. Gifts can also be personalised with additions such as wine, champagne, premium Assam tea leaves or freshly made mithai, including Motichoor and Date Ladoos.

For corporate Diwali gifting in Singapore, Lanos offers customised hamper baskets across different budgets and order quantities. Every gift arrives wrapped and ready to present, with shoppers able to order in advance and select a preferred delivery date. Next-day delivery is also available at an additional charge for those shopping closer to the celebration.

Founded by banker-turned-chocolatier Anjali Gupta, the Singapore-based artisanal chocolate brand creates its specialities by hand in small batches at its Dempsey studio. The 2026 Deepavali collection brings festive warmth to its bonbons and pralines through flavours such as chai spice, coconut, pistachio, mango and orange cardamom.

Made for generous gifting, the Luxury Deepavali Gift Box of 50 Chocolates ($210) contains 50 assorted bonbons and pralines, plus two chocolate bars in assorted flavours. The large-format box makes an impressive family or corporate gift, with enough chocolates to pass around after dinner. Its traditional motifs take inspiration from Jaipur’s block-printed textiles, reworked with a soft watercolour effect that gives the packaging a more contemporary feel.

A particularly lovely idea is the collection of Deepavali party favours, designed for guests to take home after festive gatherings. Choose from boxes of four chocolates ($16.50), nine chocolates ($36) or 16 chocolates ($64). The smaller boxes also work well for event favours, client and staff appreciation, or as thoughtful gifts for teachers, neighbours, friends and extended family.

All the chocolates are vegetarian and contain no alcohol. Customisation is available for large and corporate orders, including branded sleeves, cards, stickers and gift tags, with islandwide delivery available.

Diwali is a time to fill the home with light, fragrance and good energy, which makes Artitude Home’s Mal de Ojo collection especially fitting. Founded by Raveena Anand, the home-fragrance brand works with independent artists to turn candles and diffusers into collectible decorative pieces rather than objects that disappear into the background.

Created with artist Walter Zuluaga, Mal de Ojo reimagines the ancient Evil Eye through his striking mix of surrealism and realism. The symbolic design feels particularly meaningful for Diwali gifting, carrying wishes of protection and positivity into the recipient’s home.

The Mal de Ojo Scented Candle (from $65) pairs the artist-adorned vessel with an aromatic fragrance of sea salt, sage and woody notes. Available in four sizes, it works equally well as a thoughtful host gift or a decorative centrepiece for the festive table.

For fragrance that lingers throughout the day, the Mal de Ojo Scented Diffuser (from $130) carries the same artwork and scent in sizes ranging from 200ml to 1,000ml. Those who want the best of both can choose the Mal de Ojo Candle and Diffuser Gift Set ($150), which pairs a 7.5cm candle with a 200ml diffuser for a more generous home-fragrance gift.

Delivery within Singapore takes approximately three to four working days. Orders of $150 and above receive complimentary delivery and currently include a complimentary 7.5cm candle.

Looking for the best Diwali gift for a whisky lover in Singapore? The Glen Grant 12-Year-Old Sherry Finish is a single malt Scotch whisky matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks. It is exclusive to Asia, making it a strong pick among Diwali (Deepavali) gift ideas for whisky lovers in Singapore. 

Diwali is a festival of light, warmth and indulgence, and this sherry cask whisky fits the mood. The Glen Grant's signature fragrant, fruity 12-Year-Old gains extra richness from secondary maturation in Oloroso sherry casks. It is an easy choice if you're shopping for a sherry oak cask whisky lover, a host, or a colleague. 

The Glen Grant 12-Year-Old Sherry Finish glows a rich amber in the glass. On the nose and palate, ripe orchard fruits are layered with cinnamon and nutmeg, giving warm spices that suit the festive table. The finish brings caramelised red apples and creamy spiced vanilla, rounding off a smooth, indulgent dram. 

The bottle comes in a deep red gift box with a matching label, so it's ready to give without extra wrapping. Red is an auspicious colour, which makes it a fitting Deepavali gift. 

The Glen Grant 12-Year-Old Sherry Finish retails for $99, an accessible price for a 12-year-old single malt whisky gift. It is available in Singapore at selected retailers and premium whisky stockists. 

There is something wonderfully fitting about gifting tea for Diwali. It can be brewed when guests arrive, poured after a generous meal or saved for a quieter moment once the festivities are over. TWG Tea turns this everyday ritual into an occasion with beautifully crafted teaware, fine teas and customisable gifts designed to be shared.

The Sakura Teapot in Green ($132) makes a practical gift for hosts and families who enjoy gathering around the table. Handmade using traditional methods, the 600ml cast-iron teapot takes its design cues from delicate cherry blossoms. Its enamelled interior protects it from rust and allows different varieties of tea to be brewed inside, while the cast iron helps retain heat.

For a more generous gift, the Arte Tea Hamper allows gifters to create their own tea experience. Choose a Grand Fine Harvest Tea, teapot, two teacups, tea-scented candle and tea strainer, with every selection arranged in a chic hamper box finished with a sleeve and TWG Tea’s signature ribbon. 

Another thoughtful option is White Night Jasmine Tea ($40), which combines rare Yin Zhen white tea tips with fragrant night-blooming jasmine from Fujian. Each pack contains 15 hand-sewn cotton teabags made without metal staples or glue, preserving the flavour of the whole-leaf tea while keeping preparation easy for guests. Perfect to have with friends or to wind down after a long night of Diwali festivities.

Incense is already part of many Diwali homes, but ripple+ gives the familiar ritual a playful, design-led update. Available at Stacked Store, its colourful Incense Droplets are made with handpicked botanicals and premium essential oils, releasing fragrance with minimal smoke as each droplet burns for around ten minutes.

The ripple+ Houseplant Ash & Scent Set ($139), created in collaboration with Seth Rogen’s Houseplant, makes the most impressive gift. It includes a hand-sculpted marble ashtray that doubles as an incense burner and 64 droplets across four scents: Sweet Herb with white tea and evening primrose, Old Money Leather with saffron and leather, Baked Goods with cinnamon and bergamot, and Rich Pine with pine, sandalwood and cedar. Since every marble holder is shaped by hand, the veining and colour differ slightly from piece to piece.

For a more affordable introduction, the ripple+ Houseplant Incense Droplets Sampler Set ($59) contains 48 droplets in the same four fragrances, along with a marbled glass holder. The cheerful pink, orange and green droplets make it feel festive before the box has even been lit.

Stacked Store. Shop online or visit 58 Kim Yam Road, #01-06. Same-day and next-day delivery options are available for orders placed before 2pm on weekdays, with complimentary Singapore delivery on orders above $100.

Inachar brings flavour, tradition and a touch of nostalgia to Deepavali gifting in Singapore. Founded by Harleen, Kaashni and Akrit, the family-run venture began with a desire to revive the age-old tradition of homemade Indian pickles for a new generation.

Made in small batches using thoughtfully sourced ingredients, its achars and chutneys are free from artificial additives. Each jar draws on recipes passed down through generations, with flavours such as Mango Mojo, Feeling Chilli, Tomato Twist and Guava Padi adding a delicious kick to festive meals.

For Diwali 2026, Inachar presents four customisable hampers, ranging from thoughtful tokens to an impressive premium gift box. Choose from its artisanal pickles and chutneys, pair them with homemade ajwain or methi mathri, then add nostalgic treats such as crumbly nan khatai and buttery caramel toffees. Festive candles, potlis and personalised note cards complete the gifting experience.

Made for food lovers and anyone who misses the comforting flavours of home, these hampers carry the warmth of Indian festive traditions in every bite.
