Tired of the regular gifts-for-her which are basically pink coloured clothes or heart-shaped jewellery, and the gifts-for-him which includes a variety of musky colognes and shaving sets? It’s 2020, and these concepts are so passé. With every industry, from fashion to perfume, exploring androgynous concepts, you don’t have to conform to buying gifts according to one’s gender. Gender neutral gifts are in, and how! Check out some gender-neutral gifts we’ve listed that we’re sure everyone will love. 

Donuts filled with love

With three lip-smacking flavours — The Heart of Kupid, Straw-baerry and Mint Fantasy, to melt the heart, there’s nothing else you really need. These special edition donuts will be in stores till February 15. So whether you’re single, committed or it’s complicated, you can always rely on one thing — a donut filled with love. Gift it to your girlfriend, boyfriend, partner, husband, wife. You can even gift a box to the colleague or friend you secretly have a crush on, if you want to make a subtle gesture to show them that you’re interested in them. And if you don’t know whether they’re vegetarian or not, don’t worry. As always, these are 100 per cent eggless and made fresh everyday with the brand’s signature dough. If you’ve been struggling with Valentine’s Day ideas, look no further and say it with donuts. These will be ready for store pick-ups as well as deliveries through Moddelivery, Zomato and Swiggy.

Fine like wine
Sula Vineyards brings Kadu – India’s first wildlife wine to Maharashtra. Kadu, (pronounced Kaa-du) is a wine for a cause. It is dedicated to supporting tiger conservation in the country. Not only is wine something that no one will refuse, but you will also be doing your bit to preserve wildlife with every bottle you purchase.
 
Crafted from the choicest premium wine grapes to produce beautiful easy drinking varietals, this line of wine is offered in three roaring options – the Kadu Chenin Blanc has notes classifying as slightly sweet, floral and fruity, while those preferring lush, medium bodied and peppery notes with subtle oak can opt for the Kadu Cabernet Shiraz. Kadu Shiraz Rosé, an absolute favourite, is light, fruity and full of luscious berry flavours.

India is home to these glorious beasts through its many reserves. Over the years, decreasing habitat and increase in poaching and other harmful activities has brought the number of India’s national animal to the verge of extinction. Working towards protecting tigers and encouraging the cause of tiger conservation, Sula Vineyards has stirred up another change in the wine industry. With each bottle sold, Kadu will make a donation towards tiger conservation in the state.

To ensure the optimum end-use of the funds contributed, Sula Vineyards has collaborated with Sanctuary Nature Foundation designed to empower and support grassroots conservationists across India. This is the perfect gift to show your love to your special one, as well as to the tigers of India.
 
Undiluted affection
Do you love you partner enough to make sure they never have to have a diluted drink that has lost all its taste? With these reusable ice cubes, you can now be sure that every sip they take is one with flavour. No more watering drinks down with ice cubes. You can now use these reusable ice cubes, which are actually liquid filled silicon shapes that freeze and keep your drink cold without diluting it. Once you’re done with your drink, and the silicon shapes have become soft, you have to just wash it off thoroughly with water and pop it back into the freezer and use it again once it has frozen. Be it whiskey, gin, vodka or any other liqueur, these reusable ice cubes are the perfect choice to put in your glass. If you’re not having alcohol, you can use the cubes with all kinds of juices and milkshakes too. 

Spread your love
