Diwali gifting is getting a delicious makeover this year, with Kolkata’s patisseries and dessert brands experimenting with everything from inventive mithai-inspired creations and globally influenced flavours to pastel-hued dessert boxes and thoughtfully curated assortments. While traditional sweets continue to hold their place, customers are increasingly drawn to contemporary interpretations, unusual flavour pairings and visually appealing treats that make for memorable gifts.
