Love is serious business.
Especially if you want to find that elusive perfect way to convey it to your special someone – as all those thousands googling “gifts for girlfriend/boyfriend” each day would tell you. ;) But apparently, my “original” and “creative” gift ideas are not cutting it for many a languishing heart which crave something more “real” – if their significant others’ testimonies are anything to go by. ;) So I thought I’d do some online research on the most thoughtful yet simple, intensely romantic “real” gifts available out there. And I found India Circus.
Thoughts, feelings, moods and emotions – this web-based lifestyle brand gives life to all that you want to express in its wide gifting range starting from notebooks and designer mugs to furniture and wall art.
Now to me, the best gift is one that is light on the bling and heavy on the unique meaning that it carries for the two people exchanging it. The simple but special gift items I found here score a perfect 10 on that scale.
Journals which come alive with the spirit of your first meeting, for recording your sweetest moments together…
Glasses from the roadside chai stalls you frequented in your college days exuding the heady excitement of romance in bold motifs …
Quirky snapshots of life on everyday items like magazine racks and laptop sleeves making their lips curl with your memories every time they look at those little mementos…
India. That’s the simple yet intricate, straightforward yet mind-numbingly complex inspiration behind all India Circus designs, according to founder & design director Krsna Mehta (don’t ask me about that spelling :P). From heritage to modernity, grandeur to simplicity, solemnity to laughter – India is present in its diverse expressions across IC artefacts.
Probably as an attempt to bring in a sense of order in the sheer dimensions of the artistic idea that is India, the designers at India Circus have divided their range in four distinct collections.
Neo Nawab – redolent of Mughal splendour and sophistication …
Tamara – a reference to the bright natural colours in India’s landscape …
Kuheli – commemorating the rich heritage of quintessentially Indian art and crafts.
Last but certainly not the least – Jalebi. The only word I can use to describe the mood rife through this range is … fun!
If you thought the last thing that could look like a romantic gift was an umbrella, India Circus urges you to think again. ;)
So many great options – but what if you have no idea what to choose for your special someone? India Circus stands out from all other similar shopping portals by helping you out there with iLike – an interactive wish-list which he/she can create on the India Circus website and share with you over email or Facebook. It’s also great for keeping track of home shopping between the two of you if you’re married/living together, or during your wedding among various people.
With all those gifting treasures around I bet you’re already regretting the fact that Holi is over. Never mind, there’s always next time. :)
