Buy a box of <\/span>24 carat gold-leaf mithai<\/strong>.<\/strong> The guilt won\u2019t be about the calories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arrange a <\/span>wine tasting<\/b> for your taash party. Spend the rest of the night watching your friends raise the stakes, while <\/span>you\u2019re cleaning their wine spills before they set. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gift your parents their hearts\u2019 delights, bundled in <\/span>personalised wrapping paper<\/b>, stamped with your full name and gold stars \u2014 so they know you did something meaningful with your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Order <\/span>custom flower arrangements<\/b> for your family dinner. They might wither soon, but then again, so will you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Put on a <\/span>fireworks show<\/b> with your name and number displayed at the end so everyone in the neighbourhood can personally thank you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get a new set of <\/span>wine glasses <\/b>so you can finally stop pretending your collection of eclectic remainders from previous sets is a bohemian choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get yourself a <\/span>hand-woven pashmina shawl<\/b>. Use it while you can because the world is getting warmer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Buy the <\/span>latest Rolex watch<\/b>. Time your friend\u2019s bathroom runs and politely suggest a high fibre diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gift your dearest friends <\/span>gourmet hampers<\/b> and secretly hope that they make their way back to you, just like some of your gifts last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Buy a new set of <\/span>brass diyas<\/b> you will use just once, to replace the set you bought last year, which you bought to replace the set you bought the year before\u2026 you can\u2019t break tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get a<\/span> Roomba <\/b>to help with Diwali cleaning and act as the friendly pet for the nervous introverts attending your house party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Buy a <\/span>500-chip poker set<\/b>, so you can spend your bonus and win it back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gift yourself an exquisite <\/span>16-piece ceramic set<\/b> that comes with its own professional chef and plater, as well as an Instagram food photographer so you can do it justice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Invest in a <\/span>gold chain <\/b>for your future daughter or dog, whichever comes first.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get that<\/span> Egyptian cotton high-thread count bedspread<\/b> to add a festive pop of colour to your bedroom and for when you sink into bed dramatically after checking your bank balance.<\/span><\/p>\n
