Founder Diaries · Reed Diffuser & Home Fragrance Gifting
Does anything on the gift name a recipient? Not with SOSA. The only branding offered is a custom label or logo on product. There is no message card, no insert card and no printed sleeve, so there is nothing on or around the object that could carry a name. If you want a line addressed to the household, that is yours to say when you hand it over.
What would make a gift look addressed to one parent? The category usually does it before the price does. Anything worn on the body - an attar from ₹379, for instance - belongs to one named person by design. So does anything chosen out of one parent's hobby, and so does a single bunch of flowers handed to one of them in a doorway. None of those is a mistake; they simply have an addressee.

This is a question about who the gift is for, and it has almost nothing to do with price. A gift acquires a recipient through its category, not its cost: anything worn, anything sized, anything chosen out of one person's interests has already been addressed to somebody before you hand it over. A gift that is placed on a shared surface is addressed to the room, and a room is not one of the two people you are trying not to single out. The useful test is short: could anybody in the house use this without it being theirs?
One object, one shared surface. A 50ml SOSA reed diffuser, ₹749 to ₹849 - published at 6 to 8 weeks, with 6 fibre reeds in a refillable glass bottle. It is placed rather than worn, so its recipient is the room, and SOSA supplies no message card, so nothing on it carries anybody's name.
Quick answers — read this first
How do you make a first gift feel like it is for the whole household? Choose something that is used in a shared space rather than by a person. A SOSA reed diffuser is placed on a surface, not worn or carried, so its recipient is the room it stands in. It is ₹749 to ₹849 in 50ml, published to last 6 to 8 weeks, with no flame, no socket and nothing to switch on.Does anything on the gift name a recipient? Not with SOSA.

The short answer
Short answer: Choose a gift that is placed rather than worn, because a placed object is addressed to the room and not to a person. A SOSA reed diffuser is Rs 749 to Rs 849 in 50ml, published to last 6 to 8 weeks, with no flame and no socket. SOSA supplies no message card, so nothing on it carries a name.
The pick: A 50ml reed diffuser, ₹749 to ₹849 - one object, one shared surface, and no name anywhere on it.
Why: A worn or sized object belongs to a person the moment it is handed over. A placed one belongs to the room, which is the addressee you actually wanted.
In this guide
A gift cannot change how somebody's week went, and a page that suggests otherwise is not worth reading. What a small parcel does is tell a person you were thinking about them on a day when nothing made you - which is a real thing to say, and worth saying. Keep it small, because a large one asks somebody already short of energy to produce a reaction, and send the words separately, because the object cannot carry them.

Straight answer
I want the gift to be addressed to the household rather than looking like I am trying to impress one particular parent. How do I keep it neutral?
Change the category, not the budget. A gift is addressed to somebody by what it is, long before anybody notices what it cost. Anything worn has a wearer. Anything sized has an owner. Anything chosen out of one parent's reading, cooking, cricket or garden has been researched about that parent and will read that way regardless of the price. The gifts that stay addressed to the household are the ones used in a shared space and owned by nobody in particular. A SOSA reed diffuser is that: it is placed on a surface rather than worn or carried, so the recipient is the room. It is ₹749 for Morning Freshness, ₹799 for Garden Bloom and Evening Calm, and ₹849 for Mountain Breeze and Fresh Brew in 50ml, and ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 in 130ml, published to last 6 to 8 weeks and 14 to 18 weeks, with 6 fibre reeds in a refillable glass bottle on a coconut-derived CCT carrier that is phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, made in India. It needs no flame, no socket, no switch and nothing demonstrated at a front door, so nobody has to be taught how to use it and nobody becomes the person responsible for it. The clean contrast in the same range: a SOSA attar from ₹379 is worn on the body, which makes it the personal gift, for one named person, on a day when that is what you mean. Two things worth knowing. SOSA's only branding is a custom label or logo on product: there is no message card and no insert card, so nothing on the object can name a recipient even if you wanted it to. And nothing here can tell you how the gift will be received - SOSA publishes no information of that kind. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The category picks the recipient. Worn means a person, placed means a room - and by the time anybody looks at the price, that has already been decided.
The neutral addressee: a 50ml reed diffuser, ₹749 to ₹849 - placed on a shared surface, published at 6 to 8 weeks, and no name on it anywhere.

Where a gift picks a recipient, and how to stop it doing that
Three places where a gift quietly picks a recipient, and what to do at each one.
1
The addressee
How an object acquires a recipient
Hold two gifts side by side and the difference is structural rather than tasteful. A worn object has a wearer. A placed object has a location. That is true before the wrapping comes off and it stays true afterwards.
The same logic runs through the whole category list. Something sized has an owner. Something for a hobby belongs to the person with the hobby. A book belongs to whoever reads. Flowers handed to one person in a doorway have been handed to one person, whatever you meant by it - which is worth knowing rather than worrying about.
A reed diffuser sits at the other end. It goes on a hall table, a shelf or a sideboard, it is used by whoever happens to be in the room, and nobody has to take charge of it. Its addressee is the house. If that is the effect you are after, you get it from the category and not from what you spend.

The label
There is nothing on it that could carry a name
This one is usually discovered late, so it is worth stating early. SOSA offers exactly one branding option: a custom label or logo on product. That is the whole list.
There is no custom box, no printed sleeve and no insert card. There is no carton, no ribbon and no message card. For most gifting questions that is a limitation and this page says so plainly elsewhere. On this particular question it happens to be exactly what you asked for: nothing arrives bearing anybody's name, because there is nothing for a name to go on.
Which leaves the addressing to you, in one spoken sentence at the door. Something short and plural does it - that it is for the house - and then the object can be set down and forgotten about. It is a consumable: 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml, 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml, and then it is finished, so nobody is left with a permanent object to attribute to anybody.

The choice
Size and scent, kept deliberately undramatic
Size from the occasion rather than from the impression you are trying to avoid making. The 50ml at ₹749 to ₹849 for a first evening; the 130ml at ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 for a formal visit or a stay; the duo sets at ₹1,498, ₹1,548 and ₹1,598 in 50ml x 2 when one bottle would read thin. Those three pairings are the whole set range, none is composed to order and both bottles in a set are the same size.
A note specific to this question: a duo set is two bottles, not one each. If you are trying to avoid the appearance of addressing either parent, two bottles for one household is more fragrance for the house rather than a gift apiece - and if that distinction worries you at all, one bottle is the simpler answer.
Scent from what is hardest to dislike. Morning Freshness at ₹749, lemon and mint, is the least declarative; Garden Bloom at ₹799 is rose and night-blooming jasmine; Fresh Brew at ₹849, coffee and vanilla, is the strongest opinion of the five. Anything else goes to WhatsApp on +91 96192 18531.

The property that makes this work as a first-visit gift
A consumable is not an object somebody has to keep
The real fear behind a first-visit gift is not that it will be disliked. It is that it will have to be kept - displayed, dusted, and eventually explained if it disappears. A decorative object carries all of that into a home you have never seen. A reed diffuser does not, because it ends by itself. The published life makes that concrete: 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml at ₹749 to ₹849, and 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml at ₹1,249 to ₹1,349. It also asks nothing of anybody on the day - no flame, no socket, no switch, nothing to demonstrate. And if they do like it, the glass bottle is refillable, with refills at ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml in all five scents.

Work it out in this order
Four checks that keep a gift addressed to the house
- Ask whether anybody could use it without it becoming theirs.
- Rule out anything worn, anything sized and anything hobby-specific.
- Choose an object used in a shared room: hall, sitting room, landing.
- Say one plural sentence at the door. No card comes with the gift.
The SOSA principle
A gift is addressed by its category long before anybody reads the price. That is why spending less does not make a personal gift less personal, and why a modest household object stays a household object however much it cost.
If the addressee is the thing you are worried about, change what the object is rather than what it is worth.
Placed or worn: the line that decides who the gift is for
Five scents, all of them placed rather than worn. Morning Freshness at ₹749 is Malabar lemon and mint. Garden Bloom at ₹799 is British rose and night-blooming jasmine. Evening Calm at ₹799 is lavender and chamomile. Mountain Breeze at ₹849 is Himalayan pine, sage and cedar. Fresh Brew at ₹849 is Coorg coffee and Kerala vanilla. In 130ml the same five are ₹1,249 to ₹1,349. All are phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, made in India, on a coconut-derived CCT carrier, with 6 fibre reeds in a refillable glass bottle. For a household you are not trying to read, the less declarative end of that list is the more consistent choice.
The SOSA gift edit
Four gifts and who each one is actually addressed to
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| A 50ml reed diffuser · ₹749 to ₹849 | Placed on a shared surface, used by whoever is in the room, owned by nobody in particular. No flame, no socket, nothing to demonstrate, and published at 6 to 8 weeks. It fails if you actually wanted to give something to one of them, because it is addressed to the house by design. |
| An attar or anything worn · from ₹379 | The clearest personal gift in the range and an excellent one once you know somebody. It has a wearer from the moment it is handed over, so on a first visit it addresses one parent whether or not that was the intention. |
| Flowers handed to one person · any price | Warm, immediate and hard to object to. They are handed to whoever opens the door, which makes the addressing visible and instant, and somebody then has to leave the conversation to find a vase for them. |
| Something from one parent's interests · any price | The most flattering gift of the four when the information behind it is right. It announces that you researched one of them, which is the precise appearance you said you wanted to avoid on a first meeting. |
When one bottle is not quite the right size of gesture
The three duo sets - and they are the only three
Several of these situations want something a little larger without becoming complicated: a first formal visit, a weekend stay, a household that has just hosted you for a week. The published answer is a duo set - two bottles in one box. Day & Night pairs Morning Freshness with Evening Calm at ₹1,498; Fresh & Grounded pairs Morning Freshness with Mountain Breeze at ₹1,548; Warmth & Bloom pairs Fresh Brew with Garden Bloom at ₹1,598. In 130ml x 2 they are ₹2,498, ₹2,548 and ₹2,598. Those three pairings are the entire set range, none is composed to order, and both bottles in a set are the same size. On presentation, be straight with yourself before you order: custom label or logo on product is the only branding SOSA offers - there is no custom box, no printed sleeve and no insert card.
See the duo sets from ₹1,498 →
Two things sit next to this choice and both are worth placing. The duo sets - Day & Night at ₹1,498, Fresh & Grounded at ₹1,548, Warmth & Bloom at ₹1,598 in 50ml x 2, or ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 in 130ml x 2 - are two bottles for one household rather than one each, and a pairing of your own choosing is not offered. Refills at ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml exist for all five scents and are a later purchase, not a first-visit one. And SOSA attars from ₹379 are the deliberate opposite of this page: worn on the body, addressed to one person. Knowing which of the two you are buying is the whole decision here.
₹749 to ₹849 across five scents, published to last 6 to 8 weeks. Large enough to be a proper object, small enough that the household never has to find permanent space for it.
from ₹749
₹1,249 to ₹1,349, published to last 14 to 18 weeks. The same object with more of it - the honest way to make the gesture larger without making it more complicated.
from ₹1,249
Two bottles in one box, ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 in 50ml and ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 in 130ml. Three published pairings, and those three are the whole range - none is composed to order.
from ₹1,498
One message, one honest recommendation
Tell SOSA who it is for, roughly how big the room is, whether their home is already scented and what you want to spend - and you will be told which size and which scent, including the times the honest answer is the 50ml rather than the 130ml.
You cannot control what anybody concludes about a gift. You can control who it is addressed to, and that is decided by what the object is rather than by what it cost.
— Sonal Sahani, SOSA
The SOSA gifting range
Two questions settle almost every reed diffuser gift, and the first one is not price. How big is the room it is going into? A 50ml suits a bedroom, a study, a hallway or a first diffuser; a 130ml suits an open-plan living and dining area, and it is genuinely too much for a small closed bedroom. Then: how much do you actually know about their taste? The less you know, the less declarative the scent should be - Morning Freshness is the safest of the five for a home you have never stood in, and Fresh Brew coffee-vanilla is the strongest opinion in the range. Price follows those two answers rather than leading them.
The SOSA range, sorted by how much it asks of the person receiving it
Start from what the gift demands, not from what it costs
| Product | What it is | What it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOSA reed diffuser - 50ml | The first-visit size | ₹749 to ₹849 across five scents. Published to last 6 to 8 weeks, with 6 fibre reeds and a refillable glass bottle. No flame, no socket, nothing to switch on | from ₹749 |
| SOSA reed diffuser - 130ml | The larger bottle | ₹1,249 to ₹1,349, the same five scents. Published to last 14 to 18 weeks - the honest choice when the gesture needs weight rather than a second bottle | from ₹1,249 |
| SOSA reed diffuser duo sets | Two bottles, one box | Day & Night ₹1,498, Fresh & Grounded ₹1,548, Warmth & Bloom ₹1,598 in 50ml x 2; ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 in 130ml x 2. These three pairings are the whole set range | from ₹1,498 |
| SOSA reed diffuser refills | If they like it, it continues | ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml, published for all five scents. The bottle is refillable glass, so the gift does not have to be a one-off | from ₹2,399 |
| SOSA attars | Worn, not placed | From ₹379 in 3ml. An attar is a personal gift and a reed diffuser is a household one - which is the distinction most first-visit questions are really about | from ₹379 |
| SOSA candles | They need a flame | From ₹399. Warm and traditional, but somebody has to light them and stay with them, which is a real consideration in a home you do not know | from ₹399 |
| SOSA ultrasonic machines | Water-based, plugged in | Boond ₹899, Sukoon ₹1,899, Megh ₹5,999 - they need a socket, water and regular refilling. That is a commitment to hand somebody on a first visit | from ₹899 |
A reed diffuser is a consumable, which is the whole argument for it as a first-visit gift. It is not a permanent object competing for a shelf in somebody else's home, and it needs no flame, no socket, no switch and no explanation at a front door. Published life is 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml and 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml, with 6 fibre reeds per bottle, a refillable glass bottle, and a CCT coconut-derived carrier that is phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, made in India. Flip the reeds roughly once a week to refresh projection - the product pages state the interval slightly differently, between every three and every seven days. Fragrance adds a scent to a room; it does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify an odour and it does not clean the air. Prices above are published retail prices; bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available, with quantities settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, sending orders across India. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The honest spec sheet
What the SOSA reed pages publish, and what they do not
Everything below is on the live product pages. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
- The five scents and their prices - Morning Freshness, Malabar lemon and mint, ₹749 and ₹1,249; Garden Bloom, British rose and night-blooming jasmine, ₹799 and ₹1,299; Evening Calm, lavender and chamomile, ₹799 and ₹1,299; Mountain Breeze, Himalayan pine, sage and cedar, ₹849 and ₹1,349; Fresh Brew, Coorg coffee and Kerala vanilla, ₹849 and ₹1,349.
- Published life - 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml and 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml, stated on all five pages. This is newer and more specific than the flat figure earlier SOSA writing used.
- The format - 6 fibre reeds per bottle rather than rattan, a refillable glass bottle, and a CCT carrier (caprylic/capric triglyceride, coconut-derived) that is phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant. Made in India, formulated by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained. No flame, no socket, no switch.
- Flip the reeds roughly once a week to refresh projection. The pages state it slightly differently - once a week on three of them, every five to seven days on one, every three to five on another - so treat it as about weekly rather than as a rule.
- Duo sets and refills - three published pairings at ₹1,498, ₹1,548 and ₹1,598 in 50ml x 2 and ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 in 130ml x 2, and refills at ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml in all five scents. Those three pairings are the entire set range and none is composed to order.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: any coverage or room-size figure for a reed diffuser; how a scent behaves in a particular home; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; any presentation packaging beyond a custom label or logo on product; and anything whatsoever about how a gift is received. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Not sure how big the gesture should be? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: whose home you are going to and how well you know them, whether you are staying or visiting for an evening, roughly what you want to spend, and whether anybody in the household has said anything about scent. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the times the honest answer is the 50ml at ₹749 rather than anything larger. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: any coverage or room-size figure for a reed diffuser, any bulk rate, minimum quantity or lead time, and anything at all about how a gift is received. What is: 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml, 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml, 6 fibre reeds, a refillable glass bottle, and refills at ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml in all five scents. On presentation, be warned: custom label or logo on product is the one branding option - there is no custom box, no printed sleeve and no insert card, and there is no carton, no ribbon and no message card, so anything you want wrapped is yours to arrange. Where SOSA is: an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, sending orders across India, with no shop, stockist, counter or warehouse in any other city.

A note from Sonal
A particular kind of message arrives on our WhatsApp, usually in the evening, usually slightly rushed. I am going to his parents' place on Sunday. I have never met them. I cannot go empty-handed and I have no idea what they like. It is one of the few gifting questions where the person is not really shopping. They are trying not to get something wrong in front of people whose opinion they have decided matters.
So the useful thing is not a recommendation, it is a subtraction. Most of what goes wrong with a first-visit gift is permanence. A decorative object has to be kept, displayed, and eventually explained if it is not. Food runs into what people eat. Anything personal runs into taste you have not earned the right to guess at yet. What is left is the category that ends by itself, and that is genuinely why a reed diffuser keeps coming up in those messages.
The part I would want you to hold on to is the least romantic part. The 50ml is published to last six to eight weeks, and the 130ml fourteen to eighteen. It has no flame, no plug and no switch, so nobody has to be shown how it works while their family stands in a doorway. It is a glass bottle and six fibre reeds, and it does the whole job by standing on a surface.
And the part I will not pretend about: I cannot tell you how anybody will take it. Nobody selling you a gift can, and the ones who promise it are selling you reassurance rather than a product. What I can tell you is what the object is, how long it lasts and what it asks of the person receiving it - which is very little. What that is worth on a Sunday afternoon in somebody's living room is yours to judge, not mine.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep a first gift from looking like it is for one parent?
Choose by category rather than by price. Anything worn, sized or chosen from one person's interests has a recipient built into it. Something placed in a shared room does not. A SOSA reed diffuser is placed rather than worn, costs Rs 749 to Rs 849 in 50ml and Rs 1,249 to Rs 1,349 in 130ml, and needs no flame, no socket and no demonstration.
Can SOSA put a card or a name on the gift?
No. The only branding SOSA offers is a custom label or logo on product. There is no custom box, no printed sleeve and no insert card, and no carton, no ribbon and no message card. So nothing that turns up carries anybody's name, and if you want the gift addressed to the household out loud, that is a sentence you say at the door.
Is a duo set the same as buying one gift for each parent?
No. A duo set is two bottles for one household, both the same size, in one of three published pairings: Day and Night at Rs 1,498, Fresh and Grounded at Rs 1,548, Warmth and Bloom at Rs 1,598 in 50ml x 2. None is composed to order. If the appearance of a gift apiece is what you are avoiding, one bottle is the simpler answer.
Would an attar work if I want something more personal later?
That is exactly the distinction. A SOSA attar from Rs 379 is worn on the body, so it is a gift to one named person, and a reed diffuser is placed on a surface, so it is a gift to a home. Neither is better than the other; they have different recipients. For a first visit where you are trying not to single anybody out, the placed object is the one that matches the intention.
Is there any way to know how a household gift will be read?
No, and nothing here will claim otherwise. SOSA publishes no information about how any gift is received by anybody, so no such claim appears on this page. What is published is the object: a consumable, 6 to 8 weeks in the 50ml and 14 to 18 weeks in the 130ml, 6 fibre reeds in a refillable glass bottle, no flame, no socket and nothing to explain. Questions can go to WhatsApp on +91 96192 18531.
Take the next step
Let the category do the addressing for you
The 50ml at ₹749 to ₹849 when the gift should belong to the house - 6 to 8 weeks, no flame, no socket, nothing to demonstrate. The 130ml at ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 for a formal visit or a stay - 14 to 18 weeks. An attar from ₹379 is the opposite choice, worn on the body and addressed to one person, for a day when that is what you mean. Tell SOSA on WhatsApp which of the two you are trying to buy.
Not sure which one suits the person you are buying for? Send SOSA their age, whether they drive, whether they like their home scented and your budget on WhatsApp, and you will get an honest answer - including when the cheaper product is the better gift.

Editorial standards & sources
About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product recommendations reflect the SOSA range; the gift-choosing reasoning applies to any brand.Specifications verified from the live SOSA product pages, September 2026: SOSA reed diffusers are published in five scents and two sizes. Morning Freshness, Malabar lemon and mint, is ₹749 in 50ml and ₹1,249 in 130ml. Garden Bloom, British rose and night-blooming jasmine, and Evening Calm, lavender and chamomile, are ₹799 and ₹1,299. Mountain Breeze, Himalayan pine, sage and cedar, and Fresh Brew, Coorg coffee and Kerala vanilla, are ₹849 and ₹1,349. Published longevity is 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml and 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml. Every bottle is supplied with 6 fibre reeds rather than rattan, in a refillable glass bottle, on a CCT carrier - caprylic/capric triglyceride, coconut-derived - that is phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, made in India. The product pages advise flipping the reeds to refresh projection and state the interval slightly differently, between once a week and every three to seven days, so no single interval is given here as a rule. Three duo combo sets are published: Day & Night at ₹1,498 in 50ml x 2 and ₹2,498 in 130ml x 2, Fresh & Grounded at ₹1,548 and ₹2,548, and Warmth & Bloom at ₹1,598 and ₹2,598; those three pairings are the entire set range and none is composed to order. Reed diffuser refills are ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml, published for all five scents. For comparison: SOSA attars are ₹379 to ₹399 in 3ml, rising to ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 in 12ml, and are worn rather than placed; SOSA candles start at ₹399 and require a flame; the ultrasonic machines Boond ₹899, Sukoon ₹1,899 and Megh ₹5,999 are water-based and need a socket, water and regular refilling. What is not published, and is therefore not stated here: any coverage, room-size or square-footage figure for a reed diffuser; how a scent behaves in any particular home; any shelf life, oil concentration or evaporation rate; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; and any presentation packaging beyond a custom label or logo on product. Limits of this guide: fragrance adds a scent to a room. It does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify an odour, it does not clean the air, and no SOSA product makes any health, antibacterial or air-purifying claim. No claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep or wellbeing; where a product is named Evening Calm or Mountain Breeze that is a product name and not a claim about its effect. No claim is made about how any gift will be received. Nothing here states or implies that a gift will impress anybody, be appreciated, create a good impression or affect any relationship; SOSA publishes no information of that kind and none is invented here. No statement is made about what any community, religion or family customarily eats, drinks or gives, and no etiquette rule is presented as a fact - the reasoning offered is reasoning the reader can check against their own situation. No rating, review count or customer name from any product page is cited, and no competitor or category of competing product is characterised. Bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available; that is the only branding option, and quantities are settled on WhatsApp. SOSA Home & Body is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, Maharashtra, sending orders across India, with no shop, showroom, stockist, counter or warehouse in any other city. Prices and availability are subject to change - see the live product pages.
