Top 5 Luxury Gifts for Weddings and Special Celebrations

“There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness.” – Mahatma Gandhi.

But when that cloth is spun with the heritage of generations, the joy it brings is indescribable. Especially when it’s a gift—carefully chosen, beautifully wrapped, and given with love.

Last winter, I was at a wedding in Jaipur. One of those grand, three-day affairs where the baraat had more choreography than a music video and the décor looked like Pinterest exploded in the best way. 

Everyone was gifting the couple home appliances, fancy luggage, and envelopes (you know the ones). But the gift that stole the show was a handwoven heirloom shawl in deep indigo, passed down by the groom's grandmother. 

And why would it not be, it wasn’t just a gift. It was a story, a legacy, a moment. After all, the best gifts whisper, "Here’s something that means something."

So if you’re shopping for a wedding, an anniversary, or any celebration that deserves something beyond ordinary—let’s talk luxury gifting that feels personal, looks timeless, and won’t be easy to regift.

1. Heirloom Shawls 

You know how everyone says, “I want something timeless”? This is it.

Heirloom shawls from Taroob are not just an accessory; they’re wearable art. Handwoven by traditional artisans, these shawls carry the weight of generations and the finesse of craftsmanship that machines simply can’t replicate. 

I gifted a Pashmina heirloom shawl to my architect cousin. And guess what? she burst into tears. 

Not because it was expensive (though let’s be honest, it’s not your average high-street buy)—but because it felt like she was closer to the history, art and architecture that she is smitten with.

Actionable tip: Look for pieces with intricate hand-embroidery or Sozni work. And always ask where it’s made—provenance matters when you’re buying something meant to be passed down.

2. His & Her Gift Boxes with Matching Stoles

Okay, let’s talk power couple energy.

These curated gift boxes from Taroob are seriously underrated. Matching stoles for the couple—soft, stylish, and something they can actually wear? Genius. 

I gifted one of these sets to my friend and his bride, along with a little note that said, “Now you can match beyond just your wedding hashtag.” They wore them on their honeymoon to Kashmir and sent me photos (cue happy tears).

What’s great is you can personalize the set—maybe include a handwritten letter/ note,, a specific imitation embroidery, or even some local artisanal goodies such as saffron tea.

Pro tip: Go for muted, elegant tones like ivory and gold or earthy browns and blush pinks. They work for all skin tones and outfits.

3. Shawls & Kashmiri Kahwa Gift Set

Let me set the scene.

A winter wedding. Chilly air. And you gift someone a beautiful handcrafted shawl... along with a Kashmiri kahwa set. 

Its blissful to watch that they immediately wrap the shawl around their shoulders and heave a sigh of relief. That’s the magic of thoughtful gifting—it turns a moment into a memory.

I received something like this from a client during Diwali, and honestly, it was the only gift I actually used (and Instagrammed).

Why it works: It’s experiential. You’re not just giving stuff—you’re giving a vibe. Pair it with a playlist to make it even more personal.

4. Kurta Set with Bandhgala/Nehru Jacket 

Let’s not forget the most luxurious fashion piece that men own!

Men are so hard to shop for when it comes to weddings. But a beautifully tailored kurta set paired with a Bandhgala or Nehru jacket? Absolute chef’s kiss. 

It’s regal, it’s wearable, and it takes him from mehndi to cocktails with zero stress.

My brother wore one such set to his best friend’s wedding and garnered as many as five compliments. One even tried to borrow it on the spot (no, he didn’t let him).

What to look for: Opt for breathable fabrics like handwoven cotton silk and subtle embroidery. Jewel tones like midnight blue, olive, or charcoal grey work well across seasons.

5. Women’s Co-ords with Cape & Pants 

I call this “the gift that every woman should keep.”

A well-cut women’s co-ord set with a dramatic cape? Absolutely stunning. It’s elegant without being extra. 

Perfect for the sangeet, the afterparty, or even the post-wedding brunch. One of the velvet co-ord sets I own went to three weddings and a cocktail dinner—and still gets me the same amount of stares and compliments.

She told me, “I feel like a modern maharani every time I wear this.”

Look for pieces with flowy silhouettes, subtle embroidery, and rich fabrics like velvet, modal silk, or organza. 

Bonus points: If the cape can be worn separately with jeans or dresses. That’s high-fashion and high-function.

Final Thoughts 

When it comes to weddings and special celebrations, the best gifts aren’t always the flashiest. 

They’re the ones with soul. The ones that tell a story, support craftsmanship, and make people feel seen.

The best part? Each of these luxury gifting ideas supports traditional artisans, celebrates Indian craftsmanship, and brings lasting joy.

So next time you’re staring at a gift list and feeling stuck, skip the toaster and go for something timeless, thoughtful, and just a little indulgent. 

Because love—and gifting—should always feel like this.
