Christmas decorations and gifts for an Indian office: one plan for the floor, the party and the take-home giftChristmas decorations and gifts for an Indian office: one plan for the floor, the party and the take-home gift

Decorate one corner, gift every desk

Most Indian offices mark Christmas with a mixed team: a few people for whom it is the festival of the year, many for whom it is a cheerful year-end party. So the plan that works is simple. Decorate one focal corner properly, keep the work floor light, and give everyone the same small gift to take home on the last working day before the break.

A shortlist that covers decor and gifts together:

1. A tree, a star and warm fairy lights for reception or the pantry, from a home decor store or a marketplace: the one thing every office needs, and reusable next year.
2. Paper stars, wreaths and a Secret Santa board made by the team: cheap, and it gets people talking.
3. Plum cake or cookies for the party from a local bakery: the food is what people remember.
4. Handmade candles that dress the party table and then go home as gifts, from Raajkosh, Jalandhar: Spiral Pillar Candles in ivory, pink, blue, yellow and navy, Rs 179 each or Rs 799 for the set of five; Braided Candles, Rs 849 for four round candles with plaited rims, for a team lead's gift or a reception tray. Shop prices; your quote confirms the final price.
5. One scented jar for leaders or clients: Vanilla Reverie, Rs 549, warm vanilla in an amber jar, the only scented candle we make.

Planning the floor, the party and the gift

The floor. Put the tree where people pass, not where they work. If your building or your landlord does not allow open flames, use candles as unlit decor only: a row of spiral pillars in holders on the reception counter looks festive without a match. Fairy lights should be the low-heat LED kind and switched off at night; check with your facilities team.

The party table. If flames are allowed in a supervised space, a few lit pillars on a cleared table, away from paper decorations, look warm in a winter evening. One person should be in charge of putting them out.

The gift. Give everyone the same piece, so nobody compares. A single spiral pillar suits a large floor; a Daisy Tealights pack of 10 at Rs 449 suits a team that likes something to share at home. For under-Rs-500 Secret Santa picks, our Secret Santa guide has the list.

Decor and gift, side by side

Fifty single spiral pillars come to Rs 8,950 at shop prices, before branding and delivery, which the quote confirms.

How a December office order runs

These are the terms on raajkosh.com/corporate, set out in full on our corporate gifting terms page:

• From 10 gifts, no minimum order value.
• Your logo on the gift tag, the note card or a wax seal, with your own Christmas message inside.
• GST invoice with your company's billing name, address and GSTIN.
• Delivered to the office, for the party, or to every home if your team is remote over the holidays.
• Prepaid, as set out in the quote. No cash on delivery.
• The quote confirms the pieces, branding, timeline and final price per gift. December is busy for every supplier, so ask early; we do not promise a delivery date.
• Branded gifts cannot be returned unless damaged, defective or wrong; report damage within 24 hours of delivery.

Where we do not fit your Christmas

• You want the decorations themselves: trees, baubles, garlands, inflatables. We do not make them; a home decor store or a party supplier does.
• Your office bans candles even as gifts. Choose a food hamper or a plant instead.
• The party is in three days. Buy locally; our quote sets the timeline.
• You want a gift printed with your logo on the product. We brand the tag, card or seal, not the candle.

A care line for every gift card: burn on a heat-proof surface, never leave it unattended, keep each burn to 3 to 4 hours. Tell us your headcount and party date at raajkosh.com/corporate.
