Handmade gifts under ₹500 in Bangalore

Handmade gifts under ₹500 in Bangalore

₹500 is an awkward budget. It is too much for a card and not enough for the obvious presents, so most people end up with chocolates or a voucher. Both of those are fine and both are forgettable.


Handmade goods are one of the few categories where ₹500 buys something that does not feel like a fallback. The pricing works differently. A small production run means there is no brand markup layered on top, so the money goes further than it would on a comparable shelf product.


Here is what is currently in stock under ₹500 at Will at Work, a gift shop in JP Nagar, South Bangalore.


Festive 'RAKHI' DIY Kit — ₹300


A kit for making your own rakhi, with the materials pre-cut. This one is seasonal and worth noting ahead of Raksha Bandhan rather than as a year-round gift. See the kit


Festive 'TORAN' DIY Kit — ₹350


A door hanging you assemble yourself. Good for Diwali, and good as a gift to someone who likes making things. See the kit


Embroidered Diary with Festive Bookmark — ₹375


An A5 diary with an embroidered cover and a matching bookmark. This is the pick if you want one object rather than an activity, and it is the most straightforwardly giftable item in the range. See the diary


'Pattern It' DIY Kit — ₹400


A pattern-making kit. Suits someone who wants a longer sitting rather than a twenty-minute craft. See the kit


Multi layered 'Mandala' DIY Kit — ₹450


Builds a layered mandala that can be hung or stood up. The most involved of the kits under ₹500 and the one that produces the largest finished piece. See the kit


Picking between them


The split is simple. A diary is a gift the person opens and uses. A kit is a gift the person spends an evening on. Which one you want depends on whether you are gifting to someone with time or someone without it.


For children and teenagers, kits work better. For colleagues and for anyone you do not know well, the diary is the safer choice, because it does not ask anything of them.


If your budget stretches a little, the Embroidered Diaries with Festive Bookmarks set is ₹725 and covers two people, which works out cheaper per gift than buying two singles.


Where to buy


All five are in stock and dispatched from JP Nagar in South Bangalore. Browse the DIY Kits or the handcrafted A5 diaries, or see the full range from Will at Work.
