The Thought behind Gifting
The art of gifting is really the art of knowing someone. To understand this better, we spend an afternoon with Tanvi SIngh Bhatia, in her world, as she reflects on the people she chooses to celebrate, the things she likes to give, and the small details that make
a gesture meaningful. And how Bruijn finds itself naturally within that story, as part of her gifting vocabulary.
Tanvi spends much of her life bringing people together; through Ibtida, through
the experiences she creates, and through the many artists, makers, collaborators
and communities she encounters. She has spent years hosting, celebrating and
gifting people from different walks of life.
So, how does someone like Tanvi think about gifting?
After years of doing it, does gifting become harder?
Has she developed a trusted few things she always returns to?
Does she choose differently depending on the person?
What makes something feel genuinely thought after?
The collaboration answers these questions through a simple gesture; the Art of Thoughtful Gifting is the act of celebrating the people who bring us together.
We understand what brings people together and then move towards the people who have personally contributed to Tanvi's journey and community. We invite you to explore Diwali gifting through a personal story about gratitude, community and the people who make gatherings meaningful.
