2025 has been a memorable year for Souk. We launched our website in August, and have since then spent countless hours doing what we love best, which is spending tons of time window-browsing for the good stuff and sharing it with you. (We’ve curated and listed some 472 cool products on the Souk website, and published 16 curated, shoppable stories across four categories!)

Souk Wrapped 2025 is our look back at our 9 most favourite finds from this year—the ones that made us squeal in excitement, and go ‘look at this cool thing I just came across!’ on our work whatsapp group.

All in all, it’s been a good year, and we’re going into 2026 with a whole lot of hope and plans to keep tweaking and building a better Souk that’ll enable us to keep sharing the joy of discovery and shopping with you. Here’s wishing you a very merry christmas and a happy new year. We hope to see you in 2026 with ‘more and more beautiful things’!

Rs. 7,500 / SUMMER HOUSE	HOME & LIVING 01 Amaran Lilac Linen Maxi Dress This was love at first sight—the soft lilac linen, the easy A-line shape, that gorgeous back detail, and… wait for it… a pocket. Chef’s kiss. It’s the kind of piece that looks laid-back but feels styled, ideal for days when you want compliments without trying too hard.

HOME & LIVING 02 Angarakha Pants Set Baby clothes are adorable, but let’s face it—your little one outgrows them before you can blink. Whitewater Kids is changing that with their Angrakha and pyjama set, crafted from the softest organic cotton and designed for both comfort and sustainability. This classic, gender-neutral set is hand-printed by artisans using azo-free dyes, ensuring your baby wears something safe and beautiful. The best part? It’s part of a circular system, so when it’s time to size up, you can send it back to be donated or upcycled, giving it a second life. Soft, breathable, and made to last—whether it’s passed down or kept as a keepsake, this set will stay in use long after the first wear.	Rs. 1,950 / WHITE WATER KIDS

Rs. 524 / ISHKA FARMS	HOME & LIVING 03 Organic Black Garlic Caper Spread The last we heard of Ishka farms was when they partnered with Indian farm-to-bar chocolate brand Paul and Mike on milk chocolate coated salted capers that won a gold at the 2024 International Chocolate awards. Based in Tamil Nadu, they're a fascinating study on doing business hand in hand with development and sustainability. They describe this Black Garlic & Caper spread as the show-stopper of their current condiment range, and we'd have to agree. Perfectly balanced to highlight the sweetness of fermented garlic with the piquant capers and caper salt from their farm, this umami, eggless 'aioli' works great on toast, cheeseboards, and sandwiches.

HOME & LIVING 04 Amaranth (Green/Red) These amaranth stems have an almost sculptural quality to them—long, trailing, and a little dramatic in the best way. They’re not your everyday roses or lilies, and that’s exactly the point. The muted burgundy hue pairs beautifully with more classic blooms, but also looks striking on its own in a tall vase. There’s something slightly wild and elegant about them—less garden, more still life painting.	Rs. 450 / FARMERR

Rs. 10,979 / LEGO	HOME & LIVING 05 LEGO Tuxedo Cat (1710 Pieces) This is the kind of pet you do want sitting on your side table. Made entirely out of LEGO (yes, really), the Tuxedo Cat is a build-it-yourself kit that turns into a surprisingly realistic sculpture—with poseable paws, ears, and tail. You can tweak the eyes (yellow or blue), give it a grumpy face or a friendly one, and proudly place it where guests will inevitably ask: “Wait, that’s LEGO?” Great as a gift for cat people, design lovers, or anyone who likes their hobbies a little offbeat.

HOME & LIVING 06 Salty Birds Sticker Book Some gifts fall into that sweet spot of “I’d never buy this for myself, but I’m so glad someone else did.” The Salty Birds sticker book sits firmly in that zone. It looks like a polite little collection of old-school bird illustrations until you realise every bird is serving attitude. The captions are funny in that slightly unhinged way that makes people laugh out loud, and the whole thing is weirdly therapeutic to flip through. It’s small, silly and delightful in the best way, exactly the kind of gift that lands well with anyone who appreciates a bit of humour.	Rs. 642 / BRASS MONKEY

Rs. 7,000 / CLAYMEN	HOME & LIVING 07 Holler Kettle The Holler Kettle is a one-of-a-kind sculpture from the Claymen's One Offs collection, which comprises pieces that exist once and maybe never again in the same permutation and combination'. Made in stoneware clay, in a soft mint green, it looks like a kettle at first glance but carries the expression of a figure mid-holler. Since One Offs are shaped by instinct or an unplanned turn of hand, each piece is singular and stands apart from the rest, making this a collectible that'll draw eyes in any vignette that it's a part of.

HOME & LIVING 08 Origami Table Lamp You might not splurge on this for yourself, but if someone gifted it to you? Instant favourite. The Orilamp folds flat like a sheet of paper and opens into a sculptural, glowing form—part light, part origami. It gives off a soft, warm glow that’s perfect for winding down or setting the mood. We love the pleated texture, the compact design, and that pale white shade that feels modern but gentle.	Rs. 2,999 / FIG LIVING

Rs. 4,800 / JOYN	HOME & LIVING 09 Cherry Block Printing Kt (Tote) Opening this box is like stepping into a mini studio with wooden blocks, primary inks, a roller, a brush, and a blank tote waiting to be made yours. The hand-carved wooden printing blocks can be used in a variety of creative combinations, and there are step-by-step instructions and video turtorials on the site that make this beginner-friendly. There's even an option to add extra blank totes that you can reuse the blocks on to make multiple custom totes, or to throw a 'blok parti' with your friends.
