A dry fruit box is the easiest gift to get right: it keeps, it suits almost everyone, and it looks generous without trying. Build one from the loose packs on this page: each is weighed to order, paid for on the website and delivered free across India.
How to put a dry fruit box together
Pick three to five packs from the shelf, order them on the website, and pack them into a tin, basket or box at home. You choose every item and see every price as you go. Our Diwali dry fruit gift box guide walks through the combinations that work and how to pack them.
Payment is online through Razorpay, orders start at ₹1,000, and every order ships free.
What to put in a box, by budget
You do not need a large budget for a box that looks right. You need whole, fresh nuts and a sensible mix.
- A small hamper, around ₹500. Keep it to two varieties in smaller packs. A good kishmish such as Lambi Dakh with a pack of dates, or a single nut beside a dried fruit. Two items done well look better than five thin ones.
- A classic family box. The trio people expect: kaju, badam and kishmish. Add a pack of dates or anjeer to make it feel complete.
- A generous box. Move up a grade and widen the mix: Mamra Badam Jumbo, Pista Kernels, walnut kernels, Jumbo Anjeer and a few soft Medjool Dates.
Prices on this page were checked in September 2026 and are a guide only. Dry fruit rates change with the crop and the season, so our product pages always show today’s price.
For a nuts gift box, keep to the nuts shelf and mix plain with one flavoured nut, such as a roasted or pepper kaju, for contrast.
What keeps well in a gift box
A box often sits for a week or two before anyone opens it, so choose with that in mind.
- Keeps longest: raw whole nuts, kishmish and munakka, chuara (dry dates) and dried berries. These travel well and hold up in a warm room.
- Keeps well if sealed: anjeer and soft dates. They are moist, so keep them in their own closed pack, away from the nuts.
- Best given fresh: roasted, masala and peri peri cashews. The oil and spice on the surface go stale sooner, so buy these close to the day.
Before choosing dates or anjeer for someone particular, our notes on judging a khajur and buying anjeer are worth a read.
Dry fruit boxes for weddings and return gifts
For a wedding, the question is usually not what goes in one box but how many boxes you need. Start from the guest list and count families rather than people, because one box usually goes to a household.
Keep every box the same. One agreed mix is easier to pack, easier to hand out, and nobody compares. For return gifts at a smaller function, a single variety in a neat pack works well and keeps the cost per guest steady.
Order as early as you can once you know the count. Wedding season and Diwali both put pressure on packing and couriers, and a large order is better planned than rushed.
Diwali and Rakhi boxes
Diwali falls in October or November, and it is when most dry fruit boxes change hands. Order a little ahead of the rush, and keep any roasted nuts for last.
A Rakhi box often travels to a brother or sister in another city. Pick what keeps and travels well: whole nuts, kishmish and dry dates rather than anything soft or flavoured.
Questions people ask
Do you sell ready-made dry fruit gift boxes?
Not at the moment. You can build your own box any time from the loose packs on this page: order them on the website and pack them at home.
What makes a good dry fruit hamper under ₹500?
Two varieties in smaller packs, such as kishmish with dates, or one nut with one dried fruit. Keeping the mix short lets each item be of good quality.
How long does a dry fruit box keep?
Raw nuts, raisins and dry dates keep for weeks in a cool, dry place. Roasted nuts, soft dates and anjeer are best eaten sooner, and are better kept sealed.
