Greetings and celebrations are an essential part of any Puja and festival. Earlier there was no tradition of exchanging Durga Puja Gifts. But slowly with the passage of time, the traditions and rituals faced the stamp of modern world. Soon gifting during Durga Pooja, especially on Vijaya Dashami and Shubho Bijoya, became the new ritual. The gifts are generally presented to relatives and close family friends.he range of gifts varies from age to age. Children and adolescents are generally gifted new clothes or money to buy something of their own. Accessories like watches, games etc have also become a rage amongst gift items now a days.

Children love to sport new fashionable and sporty clothes so that they are in vogue. As the tradition of wearing new clothes has been followed since quite long, gifting clothes or cash to children and adolescents has been accepted as a norm in Bengali families. Even elders too gift each other accessories and clothing items. Several sarees are brought during this time and presented to the ladies of the household or young women. There are wide ranges of sarees to choose from e.g., Bengal cotton (Tat), silk, handloom and so on (India is famous for their huge range of sarees). Men too receive clothes items like shirts, kurtas etc as gifts.
Apart from clothes, sweets and food items are another favorite gift objects amongst the Bengalis. Bengalis have a major sweet tooth. There are some thousand varieties of sweets to choose from and an equal number of shops to purchase the sweets. We can even see some people gifting electronic items and decorative pieces for Durga Puja.
These are the traditional gift items for the Bengalis. These are the general and accepted gifts in a Bengali household. Few families prefer to save the money for gift and go out on a long vacation or a tour to some different city and tourist spot. Hill stations and sea beaches are famous in such respects.
