We're a small, but dedicated (okay, slightly obsessed) bunch of people who spend hours scouring and scrounging the internet for the good stuff.

At least once a week, we put together a curated list of five things we're loving that week—sometimes they're connected by a theme, sometimes they aren't. Some of these things are useful and practical, some are delightful and collectible.

The best ones are delightfully unnecessary.

Rs.2,150 / SANCTUARY LIVING 01 Viola Forest Green Bolster Cover We love the delicate floral buti motifs and the striped edging (in cotton voile fabric) detail in this digitally printed cotton duck bolster cover from Sanctuary Living's Poppy Hill collection. Perfect for layering, and for adding a touch of warmth and texture to sofas, armchairs, or beds. Inspired by moments spent in nature, Sanctuary Living's signature watercolor patterns are hand painted by founder Ramita Ahlawat before being digitized and translated into beautiful home textiles. Creatively influenced by her surroundings and travels around the world, Ramita brings together her background in fine art, textiles, product design and interior décor into its product range. (Psst!

They even come in a clear acrylic stand that mimics classic biscuit packaging! Love! Notice is a design studio that builds objects to challenge the status quo. Born out of a desire to empower individuals to live more expressively and bring art into the everyday, their pieces are not mass-manufactured or trend-driven. They’re small-batch, thoughtfully made, and deeply personal—crafted to demand attention and invite the world to take notice. (Psst! Shop Notice via Souk for upto 10% off!) Rs.1,499 / NOTICE Rs.1,800 / GUNAM 03 Balance and Restore Cream We've used and really liked Gunam's Balance Face Cream, and so we're glad to see that they're back with an upgraded formula with the Balance and Restore Cream. This one promises to be as light-weight as the original, and is designed for daily, long-term use to deeply hydrate, support a healthy skin barrier, and bring stressed skin back into balance. Named after the Malayalam word for goodness, Gunam seamlessly combines sustainably sourced Indian botanicals with French formulation expertise to deliver minimalist, barrier-repair routines that heal your skin from the inside out. 04 Chai Glasses Set We are big believers in everyday objects where form meets function, and nobody reimagines Indian heritage quite like Ikkis. By encasing the base of the glass in a sculptural, hand-polished brass collar, designer Gunjan Gupta solves a real hosting dilemma: it catches the heat and acts as a built-in coaster to protect your tabletops! With Ikkis, founder and creative director Gunjan Gupta partners directly with traditional master craftsmen (on completely equal footing) to transform classical, nostalgic Indian domestic rituals—like the roadside cutting chai glass or the humble lota—into universal objects designed for modern, 21st-century living. No. 3 Clive Road derives its name from the house where founder Radhika Chopra's father was born. Their product range includes pantry essentials, teatime accessories and curated gift selections that celebrate contemporary design using traditional Indian forms and materials. (Psst!

Rs.2,850 / NO.3 CLIVE ROAD Rs.2,200 / BOTTEGA PEREIRA 05 Magna Rose Pistachio Table Cloth Bottega Pereira's stain-resistant table cloths are woven from 100% pre-shrunk cotton that is treated with a protective spill-resistant, wipe-clean coating. This coating seals the fibers against liquids without stripping away the gentle texture and drape of natural fabric. For most spills (like sauces, wine and everyday messes) a quick wipe with a damp cloth or sponge is all it takes—simply attend to spills promptly and avoid leaving liquids standing for extended periods. Available in 6-seater (Rs.2,200), and 8-seater (Rs.2,500) options. Please Note: After approximately 10–15 washes, the water-resistant coating may gradually reduce in effectiveness. While the tablecloth will continue to offer protection, liquids left on the surface for a prolonged duration may eventually seep through, so care must be taken to deal with spills promptly. Bottega Pereira is a family-run design workshop reimagining the modern Indian home through thoughtful textiles. Their signature style marries slow-living Italian sensibilities with Indian textiles to create table and home accessories packed with color, whimsy, and comfort.
