Every housing project has a possession week — the day a developer hands a buyer the keys to a home that, until that morning, existed only on a floor plan. Diwali handover gifts for home buyers are an overlooked line in most CRM teams’ festive budgets, usually filled at the last minute with a sweet box or a branded umbrella. We make handcrafted brass, marble-dust resin and wooden decor in our own workshop in Jodhpur, and over the last two festive seasons we have fulfilled possession-day orders for developers who wanted something a new homeowner would actually keep on a shelf, not throw away with the packaging.
Handover gifting is a different order shape than office Diwali gifting. It is rarely one bulk drop of identical hampers; it is phased, tied to tower-wise or block-wise possession schedules, and the gift itself needs to read as a housewarming blessing — a Ganesh idol, an elephant pair, or a griha pravesh gift box — rather than a branded pen stand. CRM teams often order two tiers at once: a plain piece for every unit, and a better branded or boxed version held back for anchor buyers or the first few flats handed over on an auspicious date.
This guide covers what developers actually order for Diwali-season possession gifting, in real quantities and lead times, and where this fits into our wider corporate gifting setup. For anything outside what’s written here — custom branding, an engraved base, or a mixed-SKU order across towers — treat it as a quote conversation; every number here that touches your specific order is confirmed on your quote, not assumed in this post.
Why Possession-Day Gifting Needs a Different Playbook
Three things set handover gifts apart from the office-Diwali-hamper category we cover in our Diwali Corporate Gift Packages and Diwali Corporate Gifts for Employees guides. First, the gift goes to a stranger, not an employee — it has to read as a blessing for the new home, which is why idols, elephant pairs and griha pravesh gift boxes outsell any branded-merchandise option we’ve quoted for this use case. Second, the schedule follows possession dates and registration slots, not one payroll-linked cutoff, so orders tend to land in two or three phased dispatches across a month. Third, quality control matters more than usual: a cracked idol handed to a first-time homeowner in front of family is a far worse look than the same breakage in an office mailroom, so we pack every handover order to the same fragile-goods standard as our wedding and griha pravesh orders.
We also see a real split by project tier. Mid-market developers mostly order one plain SKU per unit — an elephant pair or a mid-size Ganesh idol — at volumes matching unit count. Premium projects more often order a two-tier mix: a better piece for every unit, plus a handful of premium pieces reserved for penthouse or anchor-buyer handovers. Both are quoted the same way through our corporate quote page: send unit count, possession date and whether you want branding, and a free itemised quote comes back within 24 hours.
Handcrafted Picks for Possession-Day Gifting
1. Marble Elephant, Kalash & Diya Gift Box Set, 12 x 15 Inch — Rs.4,999
A complete griha pravesh set — elephant pair, mangal kalash and shreephal diya — boxed and ready with no assembly. The piece premium projects reserve for anchor buyers and penthouse handovers. Marble Gift Box Set — Rs.4,999
2. White & Gold Elephant Pair, 8 Inch, Marble-Dust Resin — Rs.3,999
Our most-quoted single SKU for tower-wide orders — an elephant pair at the entrance reads as prosperity for a new home and photographs well for the possession-day walkthrough video CRM teams now shoot. White & Gold Elephant Pair — Rs.3,999
3. Black & Gold Elephant Pair, 8 Inch, Marble-Dust Resin — Rs.3,999
Same size and price in a darker finish, for developers matching a show-flat’s interior palette. Ordering both finishes split across a tower is common when a project has two unit layouts. Black & Gold Elephant Pair — Rs.3,999
4. Royal Blue Gajraj Elephant Pair, 8 x 10.5 Inch — Rs.3,999
A third elephant-pair finish, for developers who want to rotate SKUs across phased dispatches so every possession week doesn’t look identical in buyers’ photos. Royal Blue Gajraj Elephant Pair — Rs.3,999
5. Three Marble Elephants on Wooden Base, Gift Box Set — Rs.1,899
A boxed, graduated three-elephant set at a lower per-unit cost than a full pair — the SKU most mid-market developers settle on for elephant symbolism without the Rs.3,999 price point. Three Marble Elephants Gift Set — Rs.1,899
6. Gold Ganesha Idol on Throne, 10 Inch Resin — Rs.2,499
A lacquer-coated Ganesh idol on a throne base, sized to anchor a new puja corner. We fulfil this as a single-SKU order more than any other idol, since it needs no pairing piece to look complete. Gold Ganesha Idol on Throne — Rs.2,499
7. White and Gold Ganesha Idol, 7 Inch Resin — Rs.799
Our lowest per-unit price with a real idol, not a token decor piece — the practical choice for affordable-housing projects handing over several hundred units on a tight gifting budget. White and Gold Ganesha Idol — Rs.799
8. Antique Gold Laxmi Ganesh Idol Set of 2, 7 Inch — Rs.1,999
A Laxmi-Ganesh pair rather than Ganesh alone — covers prosperity and auspicious beginnings in one gift without a second idol. Antique Gold Laxmi Ganesh Idol Set — Rs.1,999
9. Riddhi Siddhi Ganesh Brass Idol — Rs.1,199
A solid brass idol at a mid-budget price — the piece we’d suggest if a developer wants metal rather than resin for a more premium feel at the handover handshake. Riddhi Siddhi Ganesh Brass Idol — Rs.1,199
10. Lady with Lamp Brass Diya, 10 Inch Paavai Vilakku — Rs.2,999
A functional brass diya rather than a display-only idol — lit on the first evening in the new home, exactly the memory a handover gift is trying to attach itself to. Lady with Lamp Brass Diya — Rs.2,999
11. Taarkasi Wooden Elephant Showpiece Pair with Brass Inlay — Rs.1,499
A wooden elephant pair with brass-wire inlay, for developers wanting the elephant-pair gift in a warmer material that suits a wooden-flooring show flat better. Taarkasi Wooden Elephant Pair — Rs.1,499
12. Ganesha Wall Frame with Tealight Holder — Rs.1,199
A wall-mountable piece rather than a tabletop one — solves a real problem for compact 1BHK and 2BHK handovers where buyers don’t yet have a console to place a standing idol on. Ganesha Wall Frame with Tealight Holder — Rs.1,199
Quantities, Lead Times, Packing and Invoicing
Here is how handover orders actually run once a developer sends us a unit count and possession date:
- Budget band per unit: Rs.799–Rs.1,199 for a single idol or wall piece (affordable and mid-market projects, large unit counts); Rs.1,499–Rs.1,999 for a boxed set (standard handover gift); Rs.2,499–Rs.4,999 for a brass idol, gift box set or elephant pair (premium projects, or the anchor-buyer tier on a mixed order).
- MOQ: 25 units per design for any branding (sticker, insert card or engraved tag), 5 units per design for plain, unbranded pieces — so a small 8-unit boutique project can still order without hitting a wall.
- Dispatch: 10–14 working days from design approval for branded orders; plain orders move faster once confirmed, as stated on your quote. Order at least 3–4 weeks before your first possession date if the project spans multiple phases.
- Pricing and validity: a free itemised quote comes back within 24 hours of sending unit count, SKU mix and timeline, and the quoted rate is held for 30 days — useful when a possession date slips, which it usually does.
- Packing: every marble, resin and brass piece is individually wrapped and boxed with internal cushioning before an outer carton for bulk transit, the same fragile-goods standard we use for corporate gift-box shipments — a cracked idol on possession day is the one failure the packing is built to prevent.
- Invoicing: a GST invoice is issued as standard; for HSN codes and input-credit treatment for decor and idol categories, see our GST on corporate gifts guide, or ask on your quote.
There is no membership or access fee to order from us — you quote, approve and pay like any other vendor relationship. See our wholesale home decor supplier page for how we structure bulk pricing, and download our B2B catalogue to circulate internally before requesting a formal quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a typical Diwali handover gift for a home buyer in India?
A Ganesh idol, an elephant pair, or a boxed griha pravesh gift set — all three read as a blessing for the new home rather than a corporate thank-you, which matters when the recipient is a buyer, not an employee.
Can you brand or customise handover gifts with our project name?
Yes, within the limits of the material — an insert card, printed tag or base sticker is standard; engraving directly onto marble or resin is assessed per piece on your quote, since not every material takes it cleanly.
What is the minimum order for a small project with only a few units?
5 units per design for plain, unbranded pieces, and 25 units per design for branding — a small 8 to 15-unit boutique project can still order by going unbranded.
How far in advance should we order before our possession date?
At least 3–4 weeks before your first possession date, earlier for multi-phase projects. Dispatch runs 10–14 working days from design approval for branded orders, and the 30-day quote validity gives room if the date slips.
Do you provide a GST invoice for bulk orders?
Yes, a GST invoice is issued as standard on every bulk order; see our GST and HSN guide linked above for how decor and idol categories are typically treated for input tax credit.
Can we order a mix of SKUs — one piece for most units and a better piece for a few?
Yes — a plain SKU across most units and a premium SKU, such as a brass idol or gift box set, reserved for anchor buyers or the first few handovers on an auspicious date is a common order shape. Mention the split when you request your quote.
