From bright and colourful outdoor and indoor decorations to festive presents, there are endless ways to bring the spirit of summer into your home and gift-giving this season. 


One way to go about festive decor is to incorporate bright and colourful elements into your home. Consider adding pops of bold colours and sequin detailed soft furnishing to your living space with decorative pillows, and luxurious velvet table linen for a Baisakhi feast. You can also bring the outdoors in by adding fresh flowers and plants to your decor to create a summery vibe to welcome the New Year on Poila Baisakh. When it comes to gifting, summer offers plenty of opportunities to surprise your loved ones with thoughtful presents. Consider gifting a thoughtful Eidi in our festive zari envelopes or opt for something that relates to their hobbies such as gardening or anything that captures the essence of the season.


By incorporating festive decor and gifting thoughtful presents, you can make the most of this beautiful season and create lasting memories with those you cherish. In this blog, we'll explore some creative ideas for summer festive decor and gifting that will help you infuse your space with the warmth and joy of the season. So let's dive in and get inspired!


Celebrating With Home Decor

1. Festive Cushions

Decorating your home with festive cushions is a great way to bring a touch of glamour and elegance to your living space during occasions and festivals. One of the latest trends in cushion design is to incorporate sequined details of stars and moon, which symbolize hope and blessings and will be the staple highlight of the Eid home decor. If you’re planning to welcome guests for a Poila Baisakh lunch, these sequined cushions can be paired with our floral-patterned designer cushion covers with beaded detailing, to create a beautiful contrast that is both eye-catching and stylish.


When decorating your home for a festival, it's important to keep the theme of the festival in mind. The star and moon motifs are perfect for Eid as they represent the light and hope that the festival brings. For Poila Baisakh and Baisakhi which are times of celebration for new beginnings, you can add a touch of elegance to your home by decorating the interiors with floral cushion covers. These cushion covers not only add colour and pattern to your interiors but also bring in the freshness and vibrancy of nature. By incorporating floral cushion covers into your festival decoration, you can add a touch of nature and beauty to your home.


You can pair the floral cushions with the glimmering sequined cushions which can be placed on your sofa or bed to add a touch of sparkle and shine to your home décor. To make the most of your festive cushions, try to mix and match them with different cushion covers in complementary colours and patterns. This will not only help to create a cohesive look but also add a touch of variety and interest to your living space.


2. Festive Tablecloths / Dastarkhwans 



Decorating your home with our festive special Dastarkhwan or tablecloth is a great way to set the stage for a festive meal spread during the festival. A Dastarkhwan is a traditional tablecloth used in South Asian countries to spread food and create an inviting atmosphere for guests. To start with a festive special table setup, choose a vibrant Dastarkhwan tablecloth that complements the rest of your home decor.


Once you have chosen the Dastarkhwan, you can start to arrange the food items in an attractive manner. Consider using traditional patterned platters or ceramic plates and side bowls to hold the dishes and add some height and interest to the spread. You can also add some decorative elements like fresh flowers, candles, and decorative bowls to create a festive ambience. To add a touch of tradition to your Eid special Dastarkhwan, consider including some traditional dishes that are served during Eid. These can include biryani, kebabs, samosas, and sweets like sheer khurma and sevaiyan. For the Poila Baisakh table setup incorporating traditional elements with the festive table linen and traditional Bengali food such as alu posto, cholar dal, and fish curry can further add to the cultural significance of the occasion.


3. Flowery Scented Candles


When it comes to festive home decor, it's important to remember that less is often more. By incorporating just a few carefully chosen decorative elements, you can create a beautiful and inviting living space that is perfect for the holiday season. One of the best ways to do this is by incorporating floral-scented candles into your decor scheme. These candles not only add a summery vibe and welcoming aroma to your home, but they also serve as a lovely decorative element that can complement your existing festive decor.


One way to use floral-scented candles in your festive home decor is by incorporating them into your table settings. Placing candles in decorative candle holders and scattering them throughout your dining table is a great way to create an intimate and cosy atmosphere for your guests. You can also add fresh flowers or greenery around the candles to create a beautiful centrepiece that will wow your guests. Another way to incorporate floral-scented candles into your festive home decor is by using them to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere in your living room. You can place candles on your coffee table or mantlepiece, and add some soft lighting to create a warm and welcoming environment.


Celebrating With Thoughtful Gifts


1. Festive Glam Envelopes


Festive gifting is an important part of many cultural celebrations and holidays, and giving Eidi (gifts of money) is a popular tradition. To add a special touch to your Eidi gifting, consider using our festive zari detailed envelopes. These beautiful envelopes are embellished with intricate designs and patterns, featuring metallic threads that are perfect for the holiday season. Using festive envelopes to give Eidi is a thoughtful way to show your loved ones that you care, and it adds an extra level of excitement and anticipation to the gift-giving experience. Whether you're giving Eidi to children, family members, or friends, these envelopes are a beautiful and meaningful way to present your gift.


In addition to their decorative appeal, the festive envelopes are also functional and durable, ensuring that your gift of Eidi is delivered safely and securely. The envelopes come in different colours, allowing you to choose the perfect envelope to suit your needs and preferences. You can also use the envelopes to present cash gifts, gift cards, or even small trinkets and mementos on Poila Baisakh and Baisakhi.


2. Planters For The Plant Parent


Summer is a wonderful time of year, filled with warmth and sunshine, and it's the perfect time to give a thoughtful and unique gift. If you're looking for a gift that is both practical and beautiful, consider giving an indoor floor planter. These planters are perfect for those who love to decorate their homes with plants. The planters are an exceptionally thoughtful gift as the seasonal summer greens and flowering plants can be nurtured in the metallic planters. Opt for summer plants like Begonia, String of Pearls, Peace Lily, Aloe Vera, Snake Plant, and Spider Plant, which are some of the indoor plants that can be placed in the metal planters.


The metal construction of these planters is both durable and stylish, and they are designed to be used indoors as well as outdoors, making them perfect for apartments, offices, or any space where natural light is available. The sleek, modern design of these planters will add a touch of sophistication to any room, and they are sure to be a focal point in home decor.


3. For The Host And Hostess


Festive gifting of glass tumblers and dispensers is a great way to show appreciation to party hosts. Glassware is an essential part of any celebration, and the right glasses can elevate the experience and make the occasion more memorable. That's why gifting glasses or glass dispensers is an excellent choice for a host or hostess.


When it comes to selecting glasses for gifting, there are plenty of options to choose from. One can opt for tall glass or even shorter crystal glasses to serve fruity mocktails or sherbets. A glass dispenser is another fantastic gift for party hosts. Glass dispensers are perfect for serving large batches of lemonades, or iced tea. They not only look great but also make it easy for guests to serve themselves. The right glassware can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any gathering. So, when you are invited to a festive party, consider gifting the host a set of glasses or a glass dispenser, and you will surely be remembered as a thoughtful and gracious guest.


Summer festive home decor and gifting are all about bringing warmth, joy, and vibrancy into our lives. From colourful outdoor decorations to refreshing indoor accents, there are endless possibilities to create a festive atmosphere.
