Diwali Gift Ideas for Colleagues Under ₹1000 (2026)

Every Diwali the office desk fills up with the same three things: dry fruits, candles and a box of sweets nobody finishes. If you want your gift to be the one your colleague actually remembers, give them something that gets a laugh and gets worn long after the festival. Here are seven Diwali gifts for colleagues, all under ₹1,000, and how to pick the right one.

What makes a good Diwali gift for a colleague

  • A clear budget. Most office gifting sits between ₹500 and ₹1,000. Going far above that can make the person receiving it feel they owe you.
  • Work-safe humour. A joke about office life lands well in front of the team. A joke about the person usually doesn't.
  • Something they'll use. A t-shirt gets worn on weekends and dress-down Fridays, long after the sweets are gone.

Gifting for your manager or the whole team

For a manager, pick a design that laughs at office life in general rather than at them, like Duck Off or Can't Move the Needle. For a team, mix designs so everyone gets their own joke, or pick one design in different colours for a team photo.

How to choose a size without asking

All Flawked tees are unisex. Oversized tees are the safest bet: order the person's usual size and it will fit loose by design. Our size guide has chest and length measurements in inches.
