Guru Nanak Jayanti is one of the most important festivals in Sikhism. The festival marks the birthday of guru Nanak Dev Saheb ji, the founder and first guru of Sikhism. Celebrate the holy occasion by sending elegant and auspicious Gurupurab gifts to his family, friends and relatives and express his good wishes to them. In case you are running out of meaningful Guru Nanak Jayanti gift ideas, here are some suggested gifts for you.

Shabbat CD and DVD

On the pious occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti, shabad CDs and DVDs make a thoughtful gift idea for the spiritually inclined. You can send a collection of Gurbani shabads and CDs of the recipient’s favorite singer for added impact.

Ek Omkar Pendants and Tapestries

Another traditional and highly appreciated gift idea for Gurupurab is Ek Omkar pendants. These can be readily available in gold, silver, bronze, and other non-precious materials. Alternatively, one can gift Ek Omkar for wall hanging, painting etc. as an expression of good wishes.

sweets

In any Indian festival, traditional sweets and mithais are the most appreciated gift idea. If you know the recipient’s choice for sweets, please choose accordingly. Otherwise, go for popular sweets like Kaju Katli or Besan Laddoo.

Dried fruit

Dried fruits are preferred when the recipient is not fond of sweets, is calorie conscious, or diabetic. The dried fruits have a long shelf life and are an ideal gift idea for Guru Nanak Jayanti as they come in the winter season. One can easily buy attractively packaged boxes of dried fruits from online gift shops.

chocolates

Chocolates are no longer a restricted gift idea for children. These days you can give delicious chocolates to your mom, dad, siblings, relatives, friends and, of course, your children. Homemade chocolates are all the rage in the market, plus there are many gift packs available from popular brands like Cadbury’s, Ferrero Rocher, Vochelle, etc.

Journey to the Golden Temple

On the auspicious occasion of Guru Nanak’s birthday, Sikh devotees have a strong desire to visit the Golden Temple in Amritsar. A great way to convey your heartfelt good wishes would be to gift your parents or close relatives with a trip to Darbar Sahib. Send them a plane/train ticket and a comfortable hotel reservation to ensure a memorable trip.

Religious Books and Pooja Gifts

Religious books and pooja gifts are a meaningful Gurubpurab gift idea for grandparents, mom or religiously inclined people. In this category one can go for miniature copy of Guru Granth Sahib, religious discourse books, rehal or lectern, Golden Temple miniature, Guru Nanak photo frame etc.
