According to a recent survey, nearly 85% of the participants believed that a thoughtful gift can strengthen relationships.
Though giving a gift is easier, but finding one? That’s the tricky part. But there are a few gifts that are sure to never miss, namely, spiritual gifts. They are symbols of blessings, a reflection of faith, and in many cases, a source of divinity in your house.
So, if you’re tired of picking the usual hampers and gadgets, we have gathered eight items that will never go out of style.
-
Karungali (Black Ebony Wood)
Be it in the form of Karungali Mala, a bracelet, or even a single bead, this sacred accessory is believed to absorb negativity and enhance spiritual strength. It is considered so powerful that it is offered at the feet of deities in temples and worn by celebrities across South India. You can even notice its strength by holding it in your palm – perfect as a gift that is used and revered.
-
God Idols
You wouldn’t find a more classic gift than this, and for all the good reasons. God idols, no matter if it is that of Ganesha Ji, Maa Lakshmi, or Lord Buddha, are considered symbols of blessings and good fortune. With a beautifully crafted figurine, you’ll end up giving them more than just a decor piece but a daily reminder of faith, peace, and positivity.
-
Rudraksh
Did you know that even modern science has started recognizing the therapeutic properties of Rudraksh beads? Just like Karungali wood, they are known to exhibit pure energy that has both metaphysical and meditation benefits. This makes it one of those rare gifts that are ideal for spiritual seekers as well as busy professionals.
-
Pooja Accessories
If you’ve got someone who has just moved into a new home, all you need to do is walk in with a thoughtful set of brass diyas, an aarti thali, and incense holders. Suddenly, you’ve given them a gift that’s not just perfect for future prayers and rituals but also aesthetic enough to uplift them.
-
Crystals & Stones
Rose quartz, pyrite, citrine, amethyst, green aventurine – whatever it may be, a healing stone or crystal can bring just the thing they want in their life. By giving a well-thought-out energy stone, you’re basically tailoring the energy to what the person might need. For example, a citrine cluster for a friend starting a new business could be seen as a blessing for success.
-
Religious Wall Art
No, this gift idea isn’t just about filling up empty spaces. A carefully picked wall art has the power to transform the vibe of an entire room. Religious wall art, whether a Madhubani-style depiction of Krishna or a minimalist painting of Om, adds spirituality and beauty together. It’s a great choice for people who value art but also want their living spaces to feel peaceful and blessed.
-
Tulsi
There’s a reason Tulsi is called the “queen of herbs.” It’s not only revered in Hindu tradition but is also scientifically proven to have healing properties. A Tulsi plant in a beautiful pot makes a thoughtful and life-giving gift. Plus, if you want to go with something more personal, give them a mala made of tulsi.
-
Holy or Spiritual Texts
Books have always been considered an excellent gift, no matter the occasion. When those books happen to be spiritual texts like the Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata, or even simplified guides to meditation, the impact multiplies. These texts offer wisdom that one can return to over and over again. A timeless choice for milestone occasions like weddings or retirements.
How to Choose the Right Spiritual Gifts
Now, here’s the catch: with spiritual items becoming increasingly popular, the market is flooded with imitations. How do you know your Rudraksh isn’t just a bead or that your crystal isn’t dyed glass?
- Do your research: Buy from trusted sellers or certified stores with the original Rudraksha Mala price or the genuine cost of other items.
- Check authenticity certificates: Especially for Rudraksh, crystals, and idols made from precious metals.
- Look for traditional craftsmanship: Handcrafted pooja items or idols usually carry more authenticity than machine-made versions.
- Trust your instinct: Sometimes, when you hold an item, it simply feels right… so don’t ignore that.
Conclusion
Now, the next time you find yourself scratching your head over what to buy, consider a gift that brings positivity into someone’s life. After all, isn’t that what the best gifts are meant to do?
