Diwali Specials 2026: Limited Edition Gifts by Local Makers
The House of Wealth: Diwali specials, made by hand in our home town
On Diwali night, every home in India leaves its door a little open. We light diyas on the threshold, draw rangoli at the gate, and wait for Lakshmi to walk in. We call her the goddess of wealth.
But ask anyone what they actually remember from Diwali, and it is never money. It is the people. A grandmother's hands rolling dough. The neighbour who always brings the best sweets. The cousin who arrives late and stays longest. The real wealth of a home is the people around it.
That thought became our Diwali collection. We called it The House of Wealth.
Why we looked close to home
Everaw was born in Ajmer. Our snacks and spreads go out to homes across the country, but the city that raised us has always had its own quiet makers. People who do one thing, by hand, the slow way, and do it beautifully.
Most of them never get a shelf beyond their street. This Diwali, we wanted to change that. Not with a logo slapped on a box, but the Everaw way: real people, real process, nothing to hide.
Five makers, one city
We went to meet them. In rose fields at dawn, on a flower-covered porch, in a stationery shop older than most of us, in a room full of yarn, and at a candle maker's worktable. Here is who we found.
Harsh, Verser Perfumery
Just over the hills from Ajmer, the rose fields of Pushkar bloom pink every season. Harsh and his team at Verser Perfumery pick the petals by hand.
Then comes deg-bhapka, a distillation method older than any factory. Copper pots, a wood fire, and steam that carries the scent of the rose drop by drop into a cool vessel.
From the field to the bottle
Our cofounder Kanika walked the fields with Harsh to see it for herself. Watch them talk through every step, from the first petal to the last drop.
What you get is a pure rose hydrosol, with no additives and no preservatives. Soft, cooling, and it smells like the morning it was made. Pushkar Rose Water, 200 mL, for external use only.
Shagun, A Creative Therapist
Shagun Kaushal (@a_creativetherapist) is a psychologist. She spends her days listening to people carry a lot. She noticed how rarely any of us stop to choose how we want to feel.
So she made small reminders. Four roll-ons, four moods: bliss, energy, creativity and happiness. A swipe on the wrist, a breath, a moment that is yours. Mood Perfume Roll-on, for external use only.
Komal, Bhagchand Modi
Before spreadsheets, every Indian business began its new year on Diwali with a pooja for a fresh bahi khata. Red cloth cover, yellow pages, a swastik on the first page, and a prayer for a good year ahead.
CA Komal Modi's family, Bhagchand Modi, has bound these books across generations, every one stitched by hand. Hand-stitched Bahi Khata. Keep accounts in it, or keep memories.
Surabhi, and the women who crochet
Surabhi works with women who have no family to lean on. Through her NGO they learn a skill, find work, and earn money that is their own.
Every marigold is made stitch by stitch, over hours. Hang it on a door, a car mirror or a gift. This one never wilts. Handmade Crochet Flower, with a Diwali card.
Sneha, Curae
Sneha (@curaebysneha) is a mother and homemaker who curates thoughtful gifts. Her candles use real soy wax and natural fragrances.
Little daisies of light, small enough for a diya thali and pretty enough to keep unlit. Soy Wax Candles, Pack of 2.

A little house to keep it all
Our Everaw Special Hamper is shaped like a small house with a striped awning. Fill it with 2 Super Spreads and 2 fruit snacks, then tuck the makers' gifts in beside them.
The snacks will be gone by Bhai Dooj. The box stays on a shelf, and someone opens it in March and remembers who sent it.
Why this mattered to us
We started Everaw because we wanted kids to eat things made with care, by people who would happily show you how. Inspired by kids, enjoyed by all. That idea does not stop at snacks.
Every gift here carries a name, a face and a story you can watch. When you buy one, you back a rose distiller, a psychologist, a family of binders, a group of women earning on their own terms, and a mother at her kitchen table.
That, to us, is what Diwali wealth looks like. Not more things. More people, and better stories, under one roof.
