This Navaratri, a pack of traditional sweets, including karupatti halwa and ghee badusha, could be your return gifts. Aavin has started selling the special sweets meant for Deepavali earlier than usual.
“Navaratri and Ayudha Puja too are occasions when people buy sweets, which is why the sweets are on sale now. Due to modified atmosphere packaging, their shelf life has been extended by a few more days. People need not worry about them spoiling quickly. The packaging is done at our Ambattur dairy, where the sweets are also manufactured,” a source in Aavin said.
The sweets, including ghee halwa, moti pak, nuts halwa and kaju kathli, come in 250-g packs. A combo pack of 500 g is also available. “Smaller packs of 100 g will be ideal to give away instead of blouse pieces and other gifts. These could be in small boxes that can be reused. We usually look for gifts that cost under ₹150 each. The rasagolla and smaller khoa packs are more suitable for this,” said Moti Chandrika, a resident of Perungudi.
