About Us

We Do Not Just Sell Gifts. We Carry Stories.

Driven by Cause

Imagine picking up a handcrafted candle, a beautifully woven accessory, or a curated festive hamper and knowing, with absolute certainty, that every rupee you spent has gone directly into the hands of someone who needed it. No detours. No fine print. Just your everyday choice doing something quietly extraordinary.

That is the world Giving Creations was built to create. We are a unique gifting store based in Thane, serving conscious shoppers across Mumbai, Thane, and beyond, and we exist at the intersection of beautiful things and meaningful causes. Our shelves carry products made by NGO-supported artisans, sustainable collectives, and skilled craftspeople from across India. The contribution from your product purchases directly impacts the lives of their makers or artisans through our NGOs and Sustainability partners.

Where It All Began: A Belief That Shopping Can Be an Act of Giving

Giving Creations was founded in October 2022 by Mr. Amit Bhoraskar and Mrs. Meeta Bhoraskar, two people who share a deep, unshakeable conviction: that the way we spend our money is one of the most powerful choices we make every day. For years, they watched talented artisans struggle to find markets for their work. They saw NGOs doing incredible, ground-level work with limited visibility and even more limited resources. And they asked a simple question: what if buying a gift could change that?

The answer was Giving Creations. Rooted in Thane and driven by cause, this store was built not just as a retail space but as a living bridge between conscious consumers and the communities that need them most. Today, the Bhoraskars continue to personally nurture every partnership, ensuring that the values at the heart of this venture never get diluted as it grows.

"When you choose a gift from Giving Creations, you are not just celebrating someone you love. You are sustaining a livelihood, preserving a craft, and voting for a world that works a little better for everyone."

What Makes Giving Creations Different from Any Other Gift Store

There is no shortage of gifting options in India today. So why Giving Creations? The answer lies in three things that set us fundamentally apart from any other store, online or offline.

The contribution from your purchase goes directly to partner NGOs. The contribution from your product purchases directly impacts the lives of their makers or artisans through our NGOs and Sustainability partners. We believe transparency is not a feature. It is a foundation.

Every product has a purpose behind it. Our collection is not assembled for aesthetics alone, though you will find it genuinely beautiful. Each item is made by artisans or community groups supported by NGOs working in areas like women empowerment, disability inclusion, tribal livelihood, and environmental sustainability. When you buy from us, you know exactly what cause your money is supporting.

We champion Indian artisanship. India has one of the richest craft traditions in the world, and it is at risk of disappearing. Fast, cheap, machine-made products are crowding out skilled hand workers who have inherited techniques passed down across generations. Giving Creations is a deliberate counter to that trend. Every artisan product on our shelves is a quiet act of cultural preservation.

Our Partners: The Heart of Everything We Do

The true story of Giving Creations is not ours to tell. It belongs to the NGOs, artisan cooperatives, and sustainable groups whose work fills our store. We partner with organisations across India that are doing rigorous, accountable, and compassionate work with communities that often go unseen.

Our partners work in areas including women empowerment and self-help groups, tribal and rural artisan livelihood, disability inclusion through craft, environmental sustainability and upcycling, and youth skill development through traditional crafts. We vet every partner carefully, not just for the quality of their products, but for the integrity of their mission. Because your trust in us depends entirely on our trust in them.

Are you an NGO, artisan collective, or sustainable enterprise looking to reach more conscious consumers? We would love to hear from you. Giving Creations is always looking to grow its circle of cause.

What You Will Find at Giving Creations

Our collection is wide, growing, and always intentional. Whether you are shopping for a personal treat, a heartfelt gift for a loved one, or a large corporate hamper order, you will find something here that carries meaning far beyond its price tag.

Festive and Corporate Hampers: Curated with care for Diwali, Christmas, New Year, and year-round corporate gifting. Each hamper is a story told through products made by real people for real causes.

Home and Living Essentials: Handcrafted items that bring warmth, texture, and intention into everyday spaces. From woven decor to artisan kitchen accessories, every piece belongs.

Candles and Wellness Range: Hand-poured candles, natural wellness products, and sensory essentials made with sustainable materials and a commitment to calm.

Accessories and Daily Carry: Bags, pouches, and everyday carry items handmade by artisan communities. Functional, beautiful, and full of story.

Artisan Originals: One-of-a-kind creations that cannot be replicated by a machine. These are pieces that carry the fingerprints of the person who made them.

Sustainable Gifting Is Not a Trend. It Is a Choice.

India's gifting culture is changing. Consumers, especially in urban India, are increasingly seeking gifts that reflect their values, not just their budget. They want to give something that does not end up in a landfill, something that was made ethically, something that tells a story. Sustainable and conscious gifting is one of the fastest-growing segments in India's retail space in 2026, and Giving Creations has been living this philosophy long before it became a trend.

Every product in our store is chosen with the environment in mind. We prioritise natural materials, minimal packaging, and production methods that do not harm the planet. Because we believe that a gift worth giving should leave the world a little better than it found it.

Corporate Gifting with a Conscience: Choose Indian. Choose Impactful.

Every year, Indian companies spend crores on corporate gifting. And every year, a significant chunk of that spend goes towards mass-produced, imported products that are cheap, forgettable, and made thousands of kilometres away from the people who receive them. Plastic trinkets. Synthetic desk accessories. Disposable items assembled in factories with no story, no soul, and no connection to India.

At Giving Creations, we believe your corporate gift budget can do something far more powerful. Every product in our corporate hamper range is proudly Made in India, by Indian hands, supported by Indian NGOs. These are true swadeshi products, crafted with care and conscience, not mass-manufactured imports. When your company chooses to gift from Giving Creations, you are directly sustaining the livelihood of Indian artisans, weavers, craftspeople, and community workers. You are putting money back into the Indian economy, into villages and self-help groups and cooperative workshops that actually need it.

Let your gifting be impactful. Not just impressive.

Think about what it means to hand a client a hamper filled with hand-poured candles made by women artisans, a woven pouch crafted by a tribal cooperative, and a wellness product produced by an NGO-run unit. Compare that to handing them a box of imported chocolates wrapped in plastic foam. One of those gifts says something about your company. The other just fills a shelf until someone throws it away.

More and more forward-thinking Indian businesses are making the switch to conscious, homegrown corporate gifting. It aligns with sustainability goals. It resonates with employees and clients who care about where things come from. And in a time when supporting Indian enterprise, Indian craft, and Indian livelihoods has never felt more relevant, it sends a message that no imported product ever could.

We work with companies of all sizes for bulk orders, fully customised hampers, and year-round festive gifting programmes. Reach out to us and let us help you build a gifting strategy that your recipients will remember, and that India will benefit from.
