Guru Purnima: Thoughtful gift ideas

• Guru Purnima is celebrated this year on 29 July
• Move beyond flowers with books or personalised leather journals
• Choose thoughtful gifts to show gratitude to mentors and parents

Guru Purnima, celebrated this year on July 29, is a day dedicated to expressing gratitude to the people who shape our lives, teachers, mentors, coaches and even parents, who are often our very first gurus.

Instead of opting for the usual flowers or pens, consider gifts and gestures that create lasting memories and truly reflect your appreciation.

Thoughtful Gift Ideas

1. A Book By Their Favourite Author

Gift a beautifully bound edition by an author they admire. Add a handwritten note inside the cover explaining how they've inspired your own story.

2. A Personalized Leather Journal Or Diary

Choose a premium diary with their name or initials embossed on it. It's a timeless gift for someone who loves writing, planning, or reflecting.
