and how many times the same box is circulated remains a joke, luggage trolley bags are the new addition to the list While every year soan papdi ends up being the most popular topic in Diwali gifting.
Unlike a box of sweets or dry fruits, you can’t pass these luggage bags in varied sizes to friends and family,” he said. A casual chat with a friend at the Diwali party – “I can’t find a suitable gift for my brother and I am low on budget. Pat came the reply: “Please gift him a luggage bag. I wondered how come the response was instant. “In the last one week, I have received four luggage trolley bags already. Three from corporate clients and one from my office as this year’s Diwali gift. And it looks like this is the current season’s problem that many have. From reels to posts on various social media handles, there is enough content on luggage trolley bags being the ‘new soan papdi of corporate gifting’. You would even come across several reels with corporate employees stuffing these bags with chocolates and mithai packs as this year’s office Diwali gift.
There was a time when corporate Diwali gifts meant dry fruits, dinner sets, crockery, fancy lamps or, for the lucky few, electronic gadgets. Then came the phase of air fryers, speakers and other appliances. Every year, there seems to be one gift that becomes the favourite of corporate gifting departments, and this year, everyone seems to have packed their festive wishes into a trolley bag. Perhaps the idea was to encourage employees and clients to travel more. Or maybe someone decided that if you can’t give people a holiday, you might as well give them something to pack for one. For now, many households seem to have enough luggage to plan a family vacation, even if there are no travel plans in sight. And perhaps next Diwali, instead of another trolley bag, companies could consider gifting a holiday to put all this luggage to some use.
