Are you still thinking about what to give your friends and family this year, whether it’s the culinary obsessed, Bollywood nerd, fashionista, or the someone who “doesn’t need anything”? We got you. 

We’ve rounded up our favorite gifts — mostly from South Asian-founded companies and almost all under $100. After giving any of the below, you’ll look like you’ve got some serious taste. Don’t sleep on our Juggernaut merch either (our Rekha sweatshirt is a favorite) or a Juggernaut subscription for all the South Asian stories your loved ones need to know.

Importantly, we earn no affiliate fees or commissions from these recommendations, so you can trust that we have you, and only you, in mind. See a category we missed? Just email or DM us so we can consider it. Happy reading!
