SweethomeeEvery new home gets three wall clocks and two showpieces. What a new home really needs is furnishing: something to sleep on, sit on and walk on. Many of our orders around griha pravesh season are gifts, so here is what people send most, sorted by who you are gifting.
Quick picks by relationship
A rough guide based on what our customers send:
| Gifting to | Good pick | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Close family | Diwan set or wedding-style bedding set | Fills a whole room, looks generous |
| Friends, colleagues | Comforter or a printed bedsheet set | Everyone uses one, size is easy |
| Neighbours | Welcome door mat | Useful from day one, at the new door |
| Elders, religious families | Pooja aasan or janamaz | Thoughtful for the new pooja room |
| Couple setting up alone | Pillows, cushions and towels | The small things people forget to buy |
Diwan set: the gift that sets up a room
A diwan set dresses up the living room in one go. Our printed diwan set has 8 pieces: a diwan bedsheet with matching cushion and bolster covers, in glace cotton with cartoon, floral and geometrical designs.
For something richer, the chenille floral 500 TC set has 1 single bedsheet (90×57 in), 5 cushion covers (16×16) and 2 bolster covers (32×16), in Green, Mehroon, Purple, Rust and Sea Blue. More in our diwan set buying guide.
Bedding sets and comforters
A queen bedsheet is the safest size if you don't know their bed. Our printed glace cotton queen sheets are 90×100 inches with 18×28 pillow covers. For a bigger gift, a full bedding set with quilted pillow covers looks festive straight out of the box. See the wedding bedding set guide for those.
If the griha pravesh is in winter, a comforter is a gift they'll thank you for in January. The Flowa single comforter is 60×90 inches, supersoft glace cotton with fibre filling.
A welcome mat for the new door
It sounds small, but a welcome mat is the first thing they'll use in the new house, literally on day one. Our welcome PVC mats are anti-slip and come in 38×58, 45×70 and 60×90 cm. A standard flat door needs 45×70.
For the new pooja room
A new home usually means a new mandir corner. A soft pooja aasan or a janamaz prayer mat is a gift that shows you thought about them. Our pooja aasan and janamaz guide has the sizes.
