A day to celebrate love, Karva Chauth has always been a traditional celebration that marks the devotion of a wife who observes a fast and the unconditional care of a husband who returns the love with a thoughtful gift.
But as the years passed, the occasion evolved and so did its values, customs and beliefs. Now, husbands and wives observe a fast together and pray for the well-being of their relationship. They nurture what they share together and promise to work towards a lifelong bond that’s built on trust and respect.
To add to this, couples even pick out a special token or a keepsake to express their gratitude for their better half. If you’re looking to surprise your partner with a mindful gift that speaks of your emotions, here’s a list that will help you get started.
Soothing Flowers
Just like a fresh blossom that spreads positivity and exuberance all around, your partner ensures to surround you with happiness each day. For that, they deserve a gift that mimics all that they stand for – Love, prosperity, care, optimism and respect. Gift them a special bunch of flowers that are reflective of your bond. Play up the colours you pick, try dry blooms to mark your everlasting relationship or get a floral subscription to tell them that the journey together will always be a floral one.

Jade plant, Bamboo plant, Peace lily, Money plant and more such are famed for inviting good luck and prosperity.

Promising Date Night
Post the festivities and traditions of Karva Chauth, carve out a special time to spend together. Plan a date night where the two of you get to explore each other, all over again. Take your partner on a romantic drive, set up a cosy corner at home with fresh flowers and decor, book a staycation at their favourite spot or get out of the city and set on new adventures together. Just remember, when thinking of a date, keep it personal and truly meaningful.
DIY Surprise
Handcrafted gifts are not only infused with immense love but they express a new side of you to your partner. So on the days leading up to Karva Chauth, try your hand at some DIY workshops. Floral workshops, pottery sessions, cooking classes or even a cocktail-making class, there are so many options to choose from. Surprise them with a truly unexpected gift made by you and let them be taken aback by your grand efforts to express your heart’s emotions.
A Yes Day
A truly unique gift to mark an even more unique celebration, explore the concept of a Yes Day with your partner. It’s simple, you have to say yes to everything the other one suggests. A hilltop trek, yes. An hour of lazing in front of the TV, yes. An equestrian class, yes. The activity will not only bring the two of you closer together but will enable both of you to expand your worlds and try things that you may never have before. The best part, you get to do it all together.
