1. Anushree Reddy’s Crockery

Anushree Reddy brings her love of florals and wilderness to the table with a hand-painted crockery line. Dinner plates, quarter plates and tea sets carry an unexpected mix of flora and fauna motifs. Each set is custom ordered and made in small quantities, so it keeps the same quality and luxury as her couture label. It’s a one-of-a-kind gift for a host who loves to entertain, and a keepsake for the festive table.

Flora and fauna ornamentation turns a chair, a cushion or a sofa into a statement piece. It’s a thoughtful festive gift for someone refreshing their home, and one that carries her signature couture sensibility into the living room.

9.  Amala Earth Dew Armband, Antique Gold

The Dew Armband turns the quiet shine of morning dew into a bold, sculptural form. Two broad brass bands curve around the arm in an open silhouette, finished by hand in an antique gold tone. The size is free, so it fits most arms. Wear it high on a bare arm, or slip it over a sleeve to make it part of the outfit. It’s a gift for the fashion-forward friend, and a good festive-to-wedding-season accessory

Price: ₹4,500

10. Amala Earth Terrain Glass, Pink (Set of 4) 

A generous curve and a slender stem make a glass built for celebration, and the soft pink brings a playful flush of colour to the festive bar. Each glass is individually hand-blown in borosilicate glass, so every piece varies slightly. It’s made for martinis and cocktails, and it works just as well for dessert. A set of four is a good gift for a host, and the sets of two and four also come in amber and green.
