Every October the same question lands on someone's desk in HR, admin or the founder's office: what do we give the team for Diwali this year? The box of kaju katli is safe, but half the office is cutting sugar, a few people are diabetic, and by the second week of November most homes have more mithai than anyone can finish. That is why more companies are moving to dry fruits and roasted nuts for corporate Diwali gifts. They keep well, they suit most tastes, and they get eaten rather than passed on.
This guide walks through how to plan corporate Diwali gifting without the last minute scramble, what to put in the box, how to think about budget per person, and how ordering works with us at TrulyHungry.
Why dry fruits and roasted nuts work for office gifting
A corporate gift has a hard job. It has to feel generous, travel well to different cities, and suit people you may not know very well. Nuts and dried fruit tick those boxes for a few simple reasons.
- They suit mixed teams. Some people avoid sweets, some love spice, some just want something crunchy at their desk. A box with both savoury nuts and sweet dried fruit gives everyone something they will reach for.
- They last beyond the festival. Unlike fresh sweets that need to be finished in a few days, a sealed pack of roasted nuts sits happily in a drawer and becomes the 4 PM snack for weeks.
- They look premium without being flashy. A neat tray of cashews, almonds and dried strawberries says "we thought about this" in a way a generic hamper often does not.
Our own range is dry roasted rather than fried, and we season it with spice blends like peri peri, black pepper, BBQ and tandoori. If you want a gift that feels like a better choice than the usual sweet box, that is a good place to start.
Pick the right box for each group
Most companies do not gift everyone the same thing. A simple way to plan is to split your list into two or three groups and choose a box for each.
For the whole team: the 4 Variety Small Combo Platter
The Premium Dry Fruit and Roasted Nuts Gift Hamper, 4 Variety Small Combo Platter is listed at ₹560 on our site right now. It comes in a silver finish heart clover tray with four compartments, and the tray can be reused. The product page describes peri peri cashews, black pepper cashews, dried strawberries and dried kiwi slices, and you can choose a Mixed, Nuts, Dried Fruits or Candy combo. It is a good fit when you are gifting a large team and want something that looks thoughtful at a sensible per person cost.
For managers, clients and partners: the Grand Gourmet Gift Box
The Grand Gourmet Dry Fruit and Roasted Nuts Gift Box is listed at ₹880. Its product page lists dry roasted pepper almonds, peri peri cashews, pepper cashews, dried strawberries, dried kiwi slices and dried pineapple slices, and it also comes in Mixed, Nuts, Dried Fruits or Candy combos. This is the box to send to key clients, channel partners or your leadership team, where presentation matters a little more.
For a custom or smaller gift: build your own
Some teams prefer to put together their own box or add a pack to an existing hamper. Our flavoured cashews start at ₹349 for 200g, with Tandoori, Peri Peri, BBQ and Pepper to choose from. Raw California almonds and in shell pista start at ₹249 for 200g, and our dried fruits such as strawberry, kiwi and mango start from ₹79 for 100g depending on the fruit. Mixing one savoury pack with one sweet pack is an easy way to make a small gift feel complete.
How to set a budget per person
Rather than starting with a total number, start with what each person should receive and work backwards. A rough approach that works for many teams:
- List everyone you plan to gift and tag them by group, for example team, managers, clients.
- Choose one box per group from the options above, using the prices listed live on our site.
- Add a little room for late joiners, a few spare boxes for visitors, and any extra delivery addresses.
- Decide whether boxes go to one office address or to people's homes, since that changes how you plan timing and packing.
Prices on the site can change, so always check the product page when you finalise numbers. For bulk orders we would rather talk through the details with you directly than quote something generic here.
Timing: when to place your Diwali order
Diwali falls on Sunday 8 November this year. Our shipping policy says orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days and usually delivered in 3 to 7 business days across India. Put those together and the safest plan is to have your order in by the end of October, especially if boxes are going to several cities or to home addresses.
If you are planning a larger corporate order, reach out even earlier. It gives us time to confirm quantities and combos with you and plan packing, and it gives you breathing room if your list changes. We cannot promise a specific delivery date, so building in a few spare days is the sensible thing to do.
Small touches that make a corporate gift feel personal
- Add a note. A two line message from the team lead or founder means more than a printed logo.
- Mix sweet and savoury. Not everyone loves spice, and not everyone wants sugar. A combo with both covers more people.
- Think about the week after Diwali. People are tired of sweets by then. Roasted nuts and dried fruit become the snack that actually gets finished.
- Keep remote teammates in mind. If people work from home, collect addresses early so nobody is left out.
