Birthday Cakes to India

I and my kid sister, two human bodies, two souls; come to think of it, we were worlds apart. She was simple and somber, I was crazy type. She was soft-spoken, and mild-mannered, I had an aggressive style. While she believed in balance, I lived life in extremes. But we did indulge in all those things what all sisters typically love to do: sharing our choicest wardrobes, dividing the household chores, studying together, playing together and being the biggest support to each other. Both of us had different groups of friends, but she was my best friend.
We had shared eighteen incredible years together- years that I will never want to forget. Then one fine day she left home to pursue her Bachelors in Engineering. Though tears rolled down my face, I was very much happy for her. She had found her vocation in life. Life has never been the same since then. Today, both of us are well-settled, but staying poles apart. She in India and I ended up in California. Obviously, we do miss each other a lot. The only way we connect with each other today is by exchanging gifts, via an online gifting company called gujarat gifts. Gujarat Gifts, an online bridge that helps us bond in more than one way.
On her 25th Birthday, I had send Birthday Cakes to India. I had chosen a Bunch of 12 Yellow Roses + Teddy 8" + Cake 1/2 Kg. + Card. However, instead of blooming cheerily ‘thank you so much’ there was disappointment in her voice, when she called up to thank me. The magic in her voice was missing. Though miles apart, I could sense the dissatisfaction in her tone.
Later on I realized that I had goofed up on her 25th birthday. Actually, the cake was the ‘real culprit’. Archana loves black forest cakes and I should have sent a black forest cake to India. She might have been offended on seeing the undesired flavour. Naturally, the very next moment I was on a damage control mode. Without more ado, I sent a black forest cake India, via gujarat gifts. Special thanks to gujarat gifts for helping me out in this rescue mission. This online gifting company has been revolutionizing the gifting space in a major way. From being a fringe player they have moved on to be a major force in the last 11 years of their existence, with operations in no less than 250 cities of India.
It may be hard to believe, but even my brother-in-law’s birthday fall on the same day as my sisters. So in the impending year I plan to send flowers cake India. Gujarat Gifts has on display an irresistible array of cakes and flowers. In flower segment, you’ll find bouquets, baskets, flower showers, flower hampers and much more. In cakes category, no doubt you’ll find regular, heart shaped, fancy, five-star, cake hampers, brownies, etc, but I know what her favorite flavour…is not repeating the same mistake twice.

Send Gifts to Hyderabad

It took us two days to reach Hyderabad. Around twenty of us students as part of our 2nd year Mass Communication course were on a study tour to this city. Our itinerary was decided well in advance. We were supposed to visit places like the Ramoji Film City- world’s largest film studio, ETV studio, Golconda fort (Kohinoor diamond was found here), Charminar, Salar Jung museum, Qutub Shahi tomb etc.
Yeah, I know all these places are famous tourist’s attractions of Hyderabad. The best part being, we never bothered to hire a tourist guide because we knew many of our seniors who were working with ETV Hyderabad would be more than willing to take us around. Rebecca, at that time was associated as a senior producer with ETV. She was sweet, fun-loving female. I could make an instant connection with her. Within a weeks time we became fast friends.
On returning from Hyderabad, the first thing I did was call her up. Slowly and gradually our friendship flowered through phones and mails. We enjoyed the same things, laughed at the same jokes and even loved gifting each other in a big bang way. I relied on Gujarat Gifts to send gifts to Hyderabad. An incredible assortment of Chocolate Hampers, Flower Hampers, Cake Hampers, Birthday Hampers are on display at gujarat gifts. Since Rebecca was always fond of chocolates, I made it a point to send chocolate hampers to her on all occasions, be it her birthday or anniversary.

Accidentally, on friendship day, I had send flowers to Hyderabad, via gujarat gifts. But, fortunately, it was a flower hamper that made its way to Hyderabad, and it consisted of some chocolates too. Had it not being for the chocolates in the hamper, she would have given me left, right and centre on the phone itself. Though intensely obstinate about her choices, Rebecca is equally lovable. Gujarat Gifts has some wonderful flower hampers like ‘Miss You’, and ‘Splendid Love’ which include both cakes and assorted chocolates. However, ‘Ever Caring Love’ Flower hamper is exceptional. It consists of 20 Red Roses + Celebration (246 gms) + Card.

This Christmas, I had send cakes to Hyderabad. And as usual I opted for a Cake Hamper primarily because it comprises of some chocolates too. In fact when it comes to cake hampers, there’s plenty to pick and choose from. The display on gujarat gifts is mind-boggling.


Today, when I look back, I feel thrilled. Our friendship has grown only stronger with each passing year. Did someone say long distance friendship don’t survive?

Send Gifts to Ahmedabad

I still recall the spirit-soaring, chit-chats sessions, surrounding the new Bollywood releases. I still can’t forget the intellectually stimulating get-togethers at IIM-As chai Kitli. I still remember the hustle and bustle of the old city areas. I still bring to mind, the serene calmness of the moon-lit midnights. I still recollect the perennial flavour of Daal, Baat wafting across, every amdavadi household. I still recall the chaotic traffic and the cacophony of nine nights.


On hindsight, I still miss, almost everything about Ahmedabad. Truly speaking, all goods things come to an end. Nine lost, spent years in Australia, but the high life here, all concrete and tin, sans emotions, still scares and evokes nostalgic feelings in me. However, I retained enough strength to dig in my heels and carry on with my personal and professional commitments. No doubt, friends are always around, but my real strength, my real support system, was my family in India. But, life has to move on. I keep seeking ways to communicate with them. And this is when my association with gujarat gifts took off. On one pretext or the other I started sending Gifts to Ahmedabad via this on-line gifting company and started speaking my mind through them. This was my only consolation.

Sending Gifts to India has become a part of everyday life for NRIs, at least in this part of the world. And certainly, over the past several years, gujarat gifts has been doing a commendable job of bridging the ever-widening gulf between Indians and non-resident Indians settled in Australia. In fact it’s one company that goes the extra mile in delivering the best-of-services to its customers. In the recent past, I had sent flowers to Ahmedabad on my sister’s birthday. It was flower bouquet comprising 10 Red Roses N Chocolate. And to my surprise, despite my ordering late, the flowers reached dot on date, with fragrance and freshness intact.

Now with just few days to go for the New Year, I need to zero down on the New Year gift as well for my family. I know it won’t consume much time, considering the brilliant collection on display at gujarat gifts. Maybe sending cakes to Ahmedabad is the right way to ring in the New Year. What say? And believe me; it is impossible to ignore the sumptuous display on gujarat gifts. For instance, in Brownies & Sponge Cakes category the site has on display: Honey Brownies, Sinful Chocolate, Vanilla Sponge Cake, Badam Mawa Cake, Rich Chocolate Cake, etc. All sounds good. And be rest assured they taste even better. How do I know? My family has personally vouched for the same. Yup!!! They have tasted one and all.


Finally, though I settled in Australia, and I still reminiscence about my past life in Ahmedabad; nonetheless, a heartfelt thanks to Gujarat Gifts for fairly healing my emotional wounds and bringing cheer to my family in India.

Send Cakes to India as Christmas gifts

Cakes, Chocolates and Pastries…my 4-year-old son Aryan, given a chance, would gorge on them, anytime, any day. However, all hell breaks loose (he screams at the top of his voice and cries as if someone is torturing him) when it comes to making him have his daily dose of diet. He turns in to a weeping wreck, literally. But cakes…he doesn’t mind. You should see the glint in his eyes and the lovely smile that would spread across his face, followed by squeaks and jumps; merely at the sight of these sumptuous spread. Knowing his weakness for cakes, his aunt in US sends yummy, richly decorated cakes to India, keeping his flavours in mind.


Talking about the flavours, Aryan loves Pineapples cakes, Black forest cakes, Chocolate Cakes, Butterscotch Cakes…on second thoughts he loves all sorts of cakes, doesn’t he? And in case, he throws any temper tantrums, extend an olive branch to him in the shape of cakes. Yes it’s as simple as that. And I thank heaven for that… nothing more…nothing less. And with Christmas soon approaching, he’ll be eagerly looking forward to cut his favorite Chocolate cake on 24th night, i.e. Christmas Eve. His loving aunt makes it a point to send cakes to India as his Christmas gift via gujarat gifts. And before I forget, I should add that services of gujarat gifts are absolutely remarkable. The cake invariably reaches dot in time and he simply relishes every bit of it.

Within a short time his birthday is also due. And I know for sure, all our preparations would remain incomplete without his birthday cake coming in from US. My sister, via the birthday cakes to India services offered by gujarat gifts would have probably whittled down on the flavour of the season. While talking to her on phone the other day, I could vaguely figure out what she is planning to send this time: presumably some fancy cakes may be a Donald Duck Cake, Mickey Mouse Cake, Pussy Cat Cake, or a Joker Shaped cake. No clue as to which cake will make its way to India, however one thing for sure; my naughty little piece-of-the-moon will savour every bite of it and be rest assured, he would wipe the plate clean.

Send cakes to India during occasions

Christmas is round the corner and so it’s inevitably cake time folks. And by mother-in-law, before I forget to mention, will be contracting a highly dangerous form of optimism these days. Confident about her culinary skill-sets, she’ll be churning out cakes in gay abundance; half-baked, as usual. Ya, people have tried explaining things to her and have even dissuaded her a hundred times from undertaking these hazardous tasks. But she is always adamant, when it comes to her life-missions. A fortress never moves it seems. And believe me, her cakes are a remarkable specimen.

Though preparations at home go awry, more often than not, a relative abroad orders cakes to India, via some online gifting company, thanks to her uncanny ability to sniff out the on goings in our household (thank God for that!). And trust me, the cake that this lady sends in fact becomes a major-talking point in the household, because it is not only tastefully done, but also beautifully captures the spirit of Christmas. Have you heard of cakes casting a spell?

It’s only later that we learnt that cakes that she used to send were locally sourced. Ah, yes, from our city itself, that too from an online gifting company called Gujarat Gifts. It has become a lot easier to send cakes to India with a whole lot of online gifting companies foraying into the Indian gifting landscape. These sites have on offer, cakes for all occasions. Wedding cakes, Anniversary cakes, Valentine cakes, Cartoon cakes, Mother’s day cakes, Heart shape cakes, Engagement cakes, Egg less cakes etc.

Recently, my son received a birthday cake from the same relative, and from the same online gifting company offering birthday cakes to India services.
Online gifting sites have been redefining the gifting space across the globe and it is picking up in India as well. Be it birthday, anniversary or any other given occasion, you will find gifts for every occasion, for every reason, for every season and for every age group on these online gifting stores.
Coming back where I started, my mother-in-law is yet to learn a lesson or two from her misendeavours. Now a day it seems she’s all the more steadfast in achieving her mission.
