Our pick under Rs.750
The Kaju Katli & Kalakand Box at Rs.740. It carries Kaju Katli, Motichoor Laddu, Ajmeri Kalakand, Dharwad Peda, Kaju Dates and Dryfruit Patisa, so six varieties, which is unusual at this price.

How much does a 1 kg sweet box cost?
At Dadu's, between Rs.1,200 and Rs.1,460, depending on whether you take the standard or premium assortment. A 1 kg box holds 32 to 40 pieces and comfortably serves a family of six through the festival.
If you want South Indian sweets specifically, the South Indian Sweet Box at Rs.1,000 for a full kilo is the best value in this band. Mysore Pak, Putharekulu and regional mithai you will not find in a generic North Indian assortment.
Dry fruit gift boxes: Rs.740 to Rs.2,610
Dry fruit boxes have become the default corporate and in-law gift, and for good reason. Long shelf life, no refrigeration, and they suit every dietary preference at the table.
Our boxes are sectioned trays. Each compartment holds one variety, so the recipient gets a usable quantity of each rather than a token handful.
| Box | Varieties | Weight | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry Fruit Gift Box 3-in-1 (450g) | Cashew, almond, pista | 450 g | Rs.740 |
| Dry Fruit Gift Box 4-in-1 (500g) | Cashew, almond, pista, raisin | 500 g | Rs.875 |
| Premium Dry Fruit Box 3-in-1 (500g) | Cashew, almond, pista | 500 g | Rs.1,040 |
| Dry Fruit Gift Box 6-in-1 (700g) | Cashew, almond, pista, raisin, walnut, apricot | 700 g | Rs.1,325 |
| Dry Fruit Gift Box 4-in-1 (700g) | Cashew, almond, pista, raisin | 700 g | Rs.1,385 |
| Premium Dry Fruit Box 6-in-1 (700g) | Cashew, almond, pista, raisin, walnut, apricot | 700 g | Rs.1,450 |

| Dry Fruit Gift Box 6-in-1 (1kg) | Cashew, almond, pista, raisin, walnut, apricot | 1 kg | Rs.2,185 |
| Premium Dry Fruit Box 6-in-1 (1kg) | Cashew, almond, pista, raisin, walnut, apricot | 1 kg | Rs.2,610 |
What decides the price of a dry fruit box?
Three things: the number of compartments, the grade of nut, and the proportion of expensive varieties. A box heavy on cashew and pista costs more than the same weight built around raisin and apricot. At Dadu's the jump from four varieties to six typically adds Rs.300 to Rs.500 at the same weight.
Best value: the Dry Fruit Gift Box 6-in-1 (700g) at Rs.1,325. Six varieties at under Rs.2 per gram is the sweet spot in this range.
Best for a senior client or in-laws: the Premium Dry Fruit Box 6-in-1 (1kg) at Rs.2,610. It presents as a serious gift.

Corporate Diwali gifting
Corporate gifting is the largest part of what we make in October and November, and it works differently from a single-box order.
- GST invoicing on every order, so the spend is properly accounted for.
- A 24-step price ladder from Rs.575 to Rs.2,300, so you can match the box to the seniority of the recipient without juggling multiple vendors.
- Mixed sweet and namkeen boxes for offices where not everyone eats mithai.
- Dry fruit boxes for recipients with dietary restrictions.
On bulk pricing
We do not publish bulk discounts on the website. Volume orders are quoted individually, because the right answer depends on quantity, box mix, delivery locations and lead time. Contact our gifting team with your requirement and our management will come back with a quote.
Order early
Corporate volumes need production lead time on top of transit. If you are sending 100 boxes or more across multiple cities, talk to us by mid-October rather than working to the cut-off dates above.

Premium and baklava gift boxes
For the gift that needs to stand out, our baklava is made on traditional Egyptian machines with pure honey rather than sugar syrup.
| Box | Price |
|---|---|
| Assorted Baklavas, 9 pcs | Rs.740 |
| Assorted Baklavas, 12 pcs | Rs.903 |
| Assorted Baklavas, 16 pcs | Rs.1,155 |
| Baklava Tin Box, 450 g | Rs.1,437 |
| Assorted Baklavas, 25 pcs | Rs.1,830 |
| Assorted Sweet Box 12 (810g) | Rs.3,110 |
The Baklava Tin at Rs.1,437 is our most-gifted premium box. The tin is a keepsake, which is why it comes back year after year for client gifting.
Browse baklava gift boxes.
Sugar-free Diwali gifting
Almost every gift list now has someone who cannot eat regular mithai. Our sugar-free range covers kaju katli, mysore pak and assorted boxes made without added sugar, so nobody gets handed a box they have to pass on.
Browse sugar-free mithai.
How to choose the right Diwali gift box
Work out the weight, not the price. Budget per recipient is the wrong starting point, because box weights vary widely at the same price. As a rule: 250 g for a colleague or neighbour, 500 g for a couple, 1 kg for a family.
Check who is eating it. Mithai suits most households. Dry fruits suit everyone, including diabetic and health-conscious recipients. Mixed sweet and namkeen boxes work best in offices where preferences vary.
Mind the shelf life if you are gifting early. Fresh milk-based mithai has a shorter life than dry fruits or baklava. Every product page lists its shelf life, so check it before ordering two weeks out.
Cross Rs.999 and shipping is free. If you are ordering two Rs.510 boxes, you are already there.
Order before the cut-off for your region, not before Diwali. The table at the top of this page has the dates.
