Gifting with Purpose: Insights from a Seasoned Gifting Professional
December Special | TownParle.in
As December ushers in the season of celebrations and year-end reflections, gifting naturally takes centre stage. To understand how gifting trends are evolving and how residents can make more meaningful choices, the TownParle.in team spoke with entrepreneur and gifting professional Neha Gadodia, who has been working in the gifting space for over 17 years through Arcoiris.
Sharing her perspective, Neha believes that gifts do not need to be expensive to be impactful. “Thoughtful gifts, given at the right time and in the right spirit, can leave a lasting impression of positivity,” she explains. According to her, happiness is not something that can be bought outright—it is created through emotions, intent, and connection.
During the interaction, Neha spoke about how gifting has moved beyond being limited to birthdays and anniversaries. Today, people gift to celebrate job promotions, personal milestones, or sometimes simply to make their loved ones feel special—without any particular reason. She adds that gifting is as much about how it makes the giver feel as it is about the recipient.
From a business perspective, Neha highlighted how organisations effectively use calendar milestones to build relationships. Occasions such as New Year, Makar Sankranti, Valentine’s Day, and Women’s Day are increasingly used to acknowledge clients, suppliers, and employees through thoughtful gestures, helping build long-term goodwill.
Speaking about current preferences, Neha noted a rising demand for personalised and utility-driven gifting solutions. Products such as customised diaries, conventional and electronic desktop calendars, visiting card holders, personalised pens, keychains, and curated gift sets continue to remain popular among both individuals and corporates.
She also pointed out that many Vile Parle residents seek guidance for family celebrations such as birthdays, baby showers, and anniversaries, where the focus is on meaningful gifting rather than just spending. Having served over 10,000 customers over the years, her experience helps clients choose options that offer value, relevance, and lasting recall.
For Parle residents, insights from experienced professionals like Neha provide clarity on how thoughtful gifting can strengthen relationships and spread positivity. As she sums it up, “When gifting is done with the right mindset, it becomes a powerful way to create happiness—for both the giver and the receiver.”
