Diwali is just around the corner and everyone is gearing up to celebrate the festival of lights. When it comes to Diwali, all we can think about is streets adorned with lights, sweets, and exchange of gifts. While gold and silver coins have long been the go-to presents for the festive season, 2025 is seeing a fresh twist. This year, people are leaning toward more creative, personalised gifts that are a mix of tradition with modern touch. So, if you’re looking for something beyond the usual coin, here we have made a Diwali gifting guide to unique gold and silver gifts that will make your loved ones happy!
1. Personalised gold and silver bars
Coins are classic, but gold and silver bars are quickly catching up, especially when customised. Many jewellers now have bars engraved with festive messages, names, or auspicious symbols like Goddess Lakshmi or Lord Ganesha. These aren’t just gifts, they hold emotions that carry emotional and financial value, making them perfect for Diwali gifting.
2. Silver home decor
Silver decor items are trending this Diwali, which brings elegance and spirituality together. From silver diyas and puja thalis to candle stands, vases, and incense holders, there’s plenty to choose from. Modern designs by brands like Tanishq, TBZ, and CaratLane are making traditional silver items more stylish and a perfect gift for your loved ones.
3. Gold-plated jewellery
Gold-plated jewellery is another festive favourite. Pendants, charm bracelets, and minimalist earrings are in demand, especially among younger buyers as they’re ‘insta-worthy’. These pieces are perfect for gifting because they look festive and chic without the hefty price tag of solid gold. Many retailers even offer customisation with initials or birthstones, adding a personal touch, making it more special.
4. Themed silver coins
Traditional silver coins have evolved. Today, you can find coins with zodiac signs, temples, or even family portraits engraved in silver. Limited-edition designs make these coins feel special and memorable, while still continuing the tradition of gifting silver during Diwali.
5. Gold-plated tableware
For those who love luxury, gold-plated tableware is becoming a sought-after Diwali gift. Serving bowls, cutlery, and glasses not only add glamour to festive dinners but are also useful.
6. Silver baby gifts
Silver is considered auspicious, and gifting it to newborns has always been a thoughtful gesture. This Diwali, silver rattles, anklets, spoons, and keepsakes are trending, making them ideal gifts for new parents and a way to celebrate new beginnings.
7. Digital gold and silver vouchers
For the tech-savvy generation, digital gold and silver vouchers are gaining popularity. Platforms like Paytm Gold, MMTC-PAMP, and SafeGold allow recipients to redeem or save gold digitally.
8. Unique silver accessories
Small silver gifts like photo frames, keychains, wine holders, and miniature decor items are perfect for thoughtful yet budget-friendly gifting. They add a personal touch and serve as lasting mementos of the festival.
This Diwali, gifting gold and silver doesn’t have to be limited to coins. Whether it’s personalised bars, chic jewelry, elegant decor, or digital vouchers, these options are a mix of tradition, elegance, and thoughtfulness.
9. Portrait on gold
Portrait on Gold turns your personal memories into lifelike portraits engraved on 24K gold foil. Each piece can be customised in size, shape, and inscriptions. It comes with anti-tarnish protection, luxury finishes, and even a digital version (NFT) for preserving it for the future and can be a thoughtful gift for your loved ones.
