    1. Sumedha Bharpilania - Forest Essentials Facial Tonic Mist Bela

    Sumedha Bharpilania

    "While I am not the biggest fan of toners and always thought of them as a non-essential part of my skincare routine, this mist has changed my mind. Firstly, it smells DIVINE and feels very hydrating. I like using this before I apply my moisturiser and adding it to my DIY face masks. It also really acts as a pick-me-up, especially during extremely hot and sticky days, so I keep spritzing it on my face every few hours. The bottle is huge so the price you're paying is pretty justified. 10/10 would recommend."

    2. Mugdha Kusray - Vicenzi & Grisbi Vicenzovo Lady Finger

    A two-picture collage of Mugdha's delicious Tiramisu and the packet of Italian Lady Finger Biscuits.

    "My family and I love a good tiramisu, and it was hard to find one during the lockdown period. I ended up trying to make my own lady finger biscuits but they turned out to be a total flop! So, I bought these ones, and they're uh-maze-a-zing. One packet will make a huge tiramisu and the biscuits soak the coffee up so well, it's magical. We ate the entire thing in 15 minutes flat. Will 100% buy again."

    3. Shivani Agrawal - Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera

    A two-picture collage of the Instax Mini 9 in an ice-blue colour and a polaroid photo of Shivani on a white-bordered film shot.

    "I got this camera for my sister last year as a birthday present but we truly didn't make much use of it until recently. It is exactly what you'd imagine a polaroid camera to be like and is definitely worth the money. It is super easy to use and even comes with a simple manual to get you started. What's better, there's a selfie mirror on the front of the camera so you can still see exactly what you're capturing even when the camera is the other way round! The only thing is that you have to keep buying film - which can be expensive - but so worth it!"

This set of mini planters includes 4 pots that you can keep on your window, desk, or shelves to have some company while you’re home alone, and will no doubt add a little freshness to your space."

    5. Shreya Mali - Blue Tokai Easy Pour Mixed Bag

    amazon.in

    "I'm a coffee-lover who doesn't own a coffee machine so I decided to try out these easy pour sachets and I was so impressed by them! It's so easy to make coffee with these, it barely takes 5 minutes. It tastes and smells amazing, the smell literally filled up my entire home. Since this is a mixed bag, it contains coffee in light to dark roast so you'll most likely find your new favourite in here."

    6. Aqib Khan - ELV FPStyli-2Gen-JETBLKIN Fine Point 2nd Gen Stylus Pen

    A person using the stylus pen to sketch on their iPhone.
    amazon.in

    "The stylus pen is very easy to use and comes with an extra nib. But even after using the pen for two months, the original nib didn't require replacement. The nib is not fixed but rather free flowing in all directions which might feel like it is fragile but it's not, it only helps for greater flexibility while drawing. It's a great product for every beginner digital artist who is on a budget."

    7. Aqib Khan - Molioon 17 Keys Kalimba

    A person playing a Royal Blue-coloured Kalimba with a deer design on it.
    amazon.in

    "Hands down the cutest and prettiest thing I have ever bought! The colour pops out beautifully in real life. The package comes the Kalimba, a tuning hammer, cleaning cloth, finger protector, flannel bag, stickers and an instruction manual to get you started with. The instrument is easy to use even for someone who has no previous experience with any instruments. The instruction manual with basics to learn from is great to get begin with."

    Swapna Ravichandran

    "My goal for the year was to read more Indian authors and that’s how I stumbled upon this beautiful book by Benyamin. It’s a real-life story of a Malayali Indian who moves to the Gulf in search of a better life, but instead gets trapped working as a slave for an Arab, spending three years in a desert, taking care of goats. It’s a story about human survival and faith, and I finished it in a single sitting because I just couldn’t put the book down!"
