Festival season in Salem means visiting relatives, neighbours and colleagues — and almost nobody arrives empty-handed. Bakery items make great gifts because they're easy to share and many of them keep well for days. Here's how to put together a thoughtful box.
Choose items that keep well
For gifting, skip anything with fresh cream. Cookies, dry cakes and chocolates stay good for longer at room temperature, so they're still perfect when your host opens the box the next day.
Cookies by the 200 g pack
Our biscuits come in 200 g packs, which makes it easy to mix two or three flavours in one gift. Ghee cookies and almond cookies feel festive; ragi cookies are a thoughtful choice for older relatives; and sonpapadi is a Deepavali essential.
Dry cakes for Christmas and New Year
December in Salem isn't complete without a slice of fruit cake. Our dry fruits cake is the classic choice; carrot & walnut and banana bar are lovely alternatives for people who want something less traditional.
Add a little luxury
For close family or a special client, add homemade chocolates. They're sold by the kilo, so you can ask us to split a kilo across several smaller gifts. Read our homemade chocolate guide for more.
