Send Diwali gifts to India from Australia

Diwali is the festival you most want to be home for. If you cannot be, a thoughtful gift at the door can carry the feeling. Message Alina on WhatsApp and a local vendor does the rest.

Order early, because everyone else is too

Diwali week is one of the busiest of the year for bakers, florists and gift vendors in India. Vendors fill their calendars early, so the best advice is simple: message Alina as soon as you know what you want to send and where. Include the full address and the date you would like it to arrive. A request sent a week or more ahead has far more choice than one sent the day before.

What to send

• A cake and flowers for the family table, from a local baker and florist near the address
• A gift for parents or grandparents, chosen to suit your budget and their taste
• Something for a relative who is hosting. A thank-you matters at a busy time.

Tell Alina the budget and the person. She will say what a local vendor can arrange, and confirm the price before you pay.

How it works

1. Message Alina with what you want, the full address with area and pin code, and the date.
2. She confirms with a local vendor in Mumbai or Delhi and shows you the total.
3. You pay through a secure link in the same chat.
4. The vendor delivers and sends a photo. For deliveries, your payment is held until that photo is confirmed.

Tips for a smooth delivery

• Ask a relative for the exact address and a number the vendor can call on the day
• Check someone will be home during the delivery window
• Say clearly if it should be a surprise
• Keep your phone nearby. Alina sends updates in the chat.

Common questions

Can I send Diwali gifts to India from Australia?

Yes. Message Alina on WhatsApp. A vendor in the recipient’s city, currently Mumbai or Delhi, makes or buys the gift and delivers it, so nothing is shipped from Australia.

How early should I order for Diwali?

As early as you can. Vendors are busiest around the festival, and an early request gives Alina more vendors to choose from.

Which cities can you deliver to?

Mumbai and Delhi today. If your family lives elsewhere, ask Alina and she will tell you whether she can arrange it.

How do I know the gift arrived?

The vendor sends a photo on delivery and Alina passes it to you in the same chat.

What does it cost?

The gift and delivery are priced by the vendor and shown in full before you pay. Your first request is on us. After that, a membership is A$10 for six months or A$15 for twelve, paid once.
