Wedding Return Gift Baskets & Hamper Baskets in India: Ideas, Prices and Bulk Ordering (2026)
Short answer: handwoven grass and cane baskets are one of the few wedding return gifts guests actually keep – they become fruit baskets, puja trays and storage after the wedding. At GrassCrafts, Kauna grass hamper baskets start at ₹340, Haldi and Mehendi baskets at ₹550, and premium cane trousseau baskets are ₹1,599. We take bulk orders for families and wedding planners.

2. What to put inside
- Haldi: turmeric packs, marigold, small diyas, sweets, a handkerchief.
- Mehendi: mehendi cones, bangles, dry fruits, a small mirror.
- Wedding return gift: dry fruits or makhana, a candle, sweets, a thank-you card.
- Godh Bharai: fruits, bangles, a shawl or saree, sweets.
Tip: line the basket with a cotton napkin or madur table mat – it photographs well and protects the contents.
3. Why handwoven baskets instead of boxes
- Reusable – guests use them for years, so your gift is remembered.
- Plastic-free and biodegradable.
- Every piece is handmade by Indian artisans (Kauna from Manipur, Kash and straw from Bengal, cane weavers).
- Looks rich in photos without the cost of metal or velvet boxes.
4. Bulk ordering: what to know
- Order early – handmade pieces take time, especially in the Oct–Dec wedding season. We confirm timing with your quote.
- Share quantity, ceremony, delivery city and date – we confirm availability and a quote.
- Mixed sizes are possible (e.g. family members get cane, guests get Kauna).
- Wedding planners and repeat buyers: ask about trade pricing.
