Short answer: you can give a handmade, made-to-order birthday gift for well under Rs 3,000. Crochet keychains start at Rs 400, single flower bouquets at Rs 850, and little amigurumi characters at Rs 1,000, each one crocheted by hand in the colours you choose.
A gift does not have to be expensive to feel thoughtful. It has to feel chosen. Here is what I make at each budget, with real prices from my shop.
Under Rs 1,000
| Gift | Price |
|---|---|
| Bow or Cherry keychain | Rs 400 |

| Bee or Fruity Cat keychain | Rs 600 |
| Chicks in Hats | Rs 750 |
| Small tulip bouquet | Rs 850 |
| Bread pouch | Rs 999 |
A keychain sounds small until you realise it is made in her favourite colour and lives on her keys or bag for years. Have a look at all the keychains.
Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000

This is the sweet spot for a friend or a colleague: a flower that never wilts, or a little character that matches something they love. Browse the soft toys and the bouquets.
Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000
Here you get into bigger keychains and small bouquet arrangements. In fact my shop has a whole corner for this budget: everything under Rs 3,000, currently around fifty pieces.
Three things that make it feel bigger than the price
- Their colours, free. Every piece is made to order, so tell me their favourite colour and it is made that way. Costs nothing extra.
- Pair two small things. A keychain and a single stem together still come in under Rs 2,000 and open like two presents. Orders over Rs 3,500 get free delivery too.
- Order a little early. Everything is handmade to order, so allow 2 days to about a week before the birthday. Message me the date and I will tell you honestly if it fits.
