Teej is Nepal's brightest festival. Red sarees, stacked chura, mehendi on the palms, dancing in the courtyard, and fasting for the long life of a husband or a future partner. The gifts that suit Teej are the gifts that celebrate shringar — adornment.
For a wife
- Red saree with gold border — pick her size, choose the print.
- Shringar hamper — chura, tika, lachha dori, sindhur, lipstick, nail polish.
- Jewelry — a dainty bracelet or a pair of pearl drops. Keep it lightweight; Teej is warm.
For a sister
- Red chura set — sized to her wrist.
- Mehendi cones — 2–3 is standard.
- Chocolate box — handcrafted, wrapped in red.
- Small hamper — dry nuts, mithai, and a lip balm.
For a friend
- Shringar box — the essentials (chura, tika, mehendi, nail polish) in a lokta-paper box.
- Gift card — for the friend who has strong opinions about her own saree.
- Handmade crochet bouquet — in red, made to order, never wilts.
