04 Mango: A Global History

This gorgeously bound, illustrated volume from Reaktion Books’ Edible Series is as much a collectible as it is a delectable history lesson. It explores how the Indian subcontinent’s gift to the world shaped everything from global trade routes to political revolutions, and we love that it comes with recipes, as mentioned in this excerpt from a review by The Hindu:.

The well-curated recipe section in the book features a mango menu with mango wine/lassi/tea; starters such as raw mango rasam, aamras; mains like aamchur chicken, Haitian mango chicken; sides like the Vietnamese green mango salad; and desserts including mango float, mango barfi, and more. “Since our book is a global history, the mango recipes were all taken from historical sources from around the world,” says Constance. The recipe for mango curry, for instance, is taken from food writer Soity Banerjee’s conjecture of what a 2000-year-old curry may have been like. “

06 Mango Butter & Hemp Lip Balm

Mango butter, coconut oil and hemp seed oil come together in this lip balm to deeply hydrate and nourish your lips, while preventing dryness, flakiness, and chapping. Hemp seed oil and coconut oil reinforce your lips' natural barrier, preventing moisture loss, and Vitamin E protects against UV radiation and ageing. Lavender and tea tree oils not only have anti-inflammatory properties, but also add a pleasant aroma.

08 Mysore Mangoes Matchbox Collectible

The 'Mysore Mangoes' artwork on this Maachis matchbox is inspired by the famous 'Three Mangoes' vintage matchbox art.

Made of ivory-finished wood, each matchbox comes with safety matches, a striking surface and dual magnetic closures on both sides.

Founded by Sonal Nagwani and Kevin Thomas, Maachis is an art revival project that is reimagining matchboxes as a modern medium of storytelling. They celebrate the intersection of design and culture and aim to give new life to India's forgotten matchbox art in the form of bold, handcrafted pieces.

10 Tota Keri

Lorem Ipsum

Khet tries to capture an India where chaos and poetry live together. Fragrance for them, is not a polite list of ingredients printed on glossy paper, but 'memory, rebellion, desire, sweat, soil, skin, and sin'. It is sandalwood smoke curling with temple bells, the scent of snake charmers, the wild surge of a river, and the intimacy of a stolen kiss on the last train home.

We like that they're building perfumes that don't shy from where they come from—rooted in real Indian stories, ingredients, and spirit.

12 Ambi Tea Plates

Crafted in durable stoneware, this set of four stoneware tea plates featuring a verdant 'ambi' with a koel perched amidst its branches is made for everyday use and perfect for serving biscuits, snacks, or other accompaniments to tea.

We like that they're both microwave and dishwasher safe, and that they come in a ready-to-gift box.
