10 Perfect Lohri Gift Ideas For Family to Celebrate the Festive Spirit!
I still remember that bone-chilling January evening when my grandmother wrapped me in her precious pashmina shawl as we gathered around the Lohri bonfire.
That's when I truly understood—Lohri isn't just about the festivities; it's about wrapping our loved ones in warmth, both literally and metaphorically.
Did you know that most of the North Indian families consider Lohri gifts as a cherished tradition that strengthens family bonds?
If you're scratching your head about what to gift your family this Lohri, you're in the right place!
Let me share some stunning Lohri gift ideas for family that I've personally tried and tested over the years.
1. Luxurious Gift Boxes with Shawls and Stoles
Last Lohri, I surprised my aunt with a handcrafted gift box from Taroob containing a Kaani shawl. The way her eyes lit up when she unwrapped that burgundy beauty!
The best part is that these gift boxes can be customized with different fabrics, such as silk and pashmina, and designs, making them perfect Lohri return gift ideas too.
2. Regal Bandhgalas for Men
Now that I think of it, it was absolutely marvelous how my brother stole the show at last year's Lohri celebration!
That navy blue bandhgala with intricate threadwork transformed him from my goofy sibling to a proper gentleman (well, almost!).
Trust me, a well-fitted bandhgala is like a warm hug in fabric form.
3. Classic Kurta Sets for Men
Here's a little secret—my father-in-law still brags about the silk kurta set we gifted him two Lohris ago.
It's become his go-to outfit for every family gathering. Who knew a simple kurta set could bring such joy?
You can find several kurta sets at Taroob, such as Kalamkari and Dori work kurtas. Their ombre chikankari mirror-embellished kurta and salwar sets are my absolute favorite.
4. Sophisticated Nehru Jackets
Think of Nehru jackets as the Swiss Army knife of Indian menswear. My cousin pairs his with everything from kurtas to crisp white shirts.
They're versatile, stylish, and quintessentially festive—isn't that what we're looking for in Lohri gift ideas?
5. Traditional Dushalas for Men
Did you know that traditionally, dushalas were symbols of respect and honor worn by royal or influential men?
When we gifted one to our family elder Lohri, he shared stories about how his father used to wear one.
These pieces aren't just garments; they're heritage wrapped in wool!
6. Contemporary Capes for Women
Ladies, can we talk about the classic Taroob capes? My sister nearly refused to take hers off after the last Lohri!
They're the perfect blend of tradition and trend—keeping you warm while making you look like royalty. Isn't that what we all secretly want?
7. Chic Co-ord Sets for Women
Co-ord sets are like happiness in fabric form. Statistics show that co-ord sets have seen a 145% increase in popularity during festive seasons.
I gifted my mother a velvet co-ord set from Taroob, and now she's become the trendsetter in our family WhatsApp group! I just love Taroob’s Velvet Collection!
Velvet co-ord sets from Taroob come as two-piece and three-piece sets.
Two pieces can come with a cape or a kurta with pants, while the three pieces usually have a blazer, pants, and crop top.
8. Elegant Long Velvet Coats
I clearly recall my jaw dropping to the floor when Taroob launched their new velvet collection with ankle-length long coats!
Their emerald green velvet long coat is perfect for a Lohri celebration owing to its style and embroidery.
You can almost hear people’s gasp looking at this stunning piece. And I guess that's the reaction you want your gifts to generate!
These coats are perfect for chilly evening celebrations.
9. Timeless Heirloom Shawls
There's something magical about Taroob heirloom shawls. You have to see it, feel it and wear it to believe its magic!
When I gifted one to my mother, she teared up, saying it reminded her of her mother's wedding shawl which she inherited when she got married way back in the 90’s.
These stunning and heavily embroidered shawls aren't just Lohri gift ideas, they're legacy pieces that will be cherished for generations.
10. Dapper Pocket Squares for Men
Looking for something small but impactful? Pocket squares are your answer!
My husband's collection started with one gifted during Lohri, and now it's become a tradition to add one every year.
They're perfect Lohri return gift ideas too!
