Let’s be honest — finding a gift that feels thoughtful, looks beautiful, and doesn’t cost a fortune is genuinely hard. Most things under ₹200 in India fall into two categories: too generic to be memorable, or too cheap to feel like you care. But there’s a third option that most people overlook entirely — handmade.
At Made of Hands, we believe the best gifts aren’t always the most expensive ones. They’re the ones that carry a story. Every piece in our under ₹200 collection is handcrafted by women artisans from the Himalayan foothills of Almora, Uttarakhand — knitted and crocheted with skill, patience, and genuine love for the craft. And they’re priced in a way that makes heartfelt gifting accessible for every occasion.
Whether you’re looking for a small birthday gift, a return gift for a party, a rakhi token, or just something to surprise a friend — here are the best handmade gifts under ₹200 that are worth every rupee.
Why Handmade Gifts Under ₹200 Hit Different
In a world where you can order anything with two clicks, receiving something handmade feels rare. It signals that someone put thought into the gift — not just convenience. When that gift also supports women artisans from rural Uttarakhand, it carries a story bigger than the price tag.
That’s exactly what Made of Hands offers. Our under ₹200 range isn’t a compromise — it’s a curated collection of genuinely beautiful, well-crafted pieces that happen to be affordable. Here’s what we recommend.
Four Best Handmade Gifts Under ₹200 from Made of Hands
1. Octopus Keychain — Handmade Crochet Bag Charm | ₹199
Perfect for: Birthdays, return gifts, rakhi, best friend gifts, college farewell
Meet the star of our accessories range. The Octopus Keychain (₹199) is a hand-crocheted bag charm that has quietly become one of our most-loved products — and it’s easy to see why. It’s tiny, tactile, wildly cute, and 100% handmade by artisan women in Uttarakhand.
This isn’t a mass-produced plastic keychain. Each one is crafted individually, which means no two are exactly alike. It goes on a bag, a backpack, a set of keys — and it stays there, because people genuinely love it too much to take it off.
At ₹199, it is possibly the best value handmade gift available in India right now. Budget-friendly doesn’t have to mean forgettable — and this keychain is proof.
2. Angry Hair Clip — Handmade Hair Accessory for Girls | ₹180
Perfect for: Girls’ birthday parties, kids’ return gifts, fun gifting for teens and women
The Angry Hair Clip (₹180) is one of those gifts that earns an immediate reaction — a laugh, a smile, or a loud “this is so cute!” Hand-crocheted into a grumpy little expression that somehow makes it even more adorable, it’s a hair accessory with personality.
Wearable, functional, and completely unique, it’s the kind of small handmade gift that people actually use rather than tuck away in a drawer. It works beautifully as a birthday gift for a girl, a fun return gift, or a sweet just because present for someone who loves quirky accessories.
3. Sea Shell - Velvety | Crochet Hair Scrunchies | ₹150
Perfect for: Budget return gifts, party favours, gift hampers, everyday gifting
If you need a handmade gift under ₹200 that still feels special — this is it. The Sea Shell - Velvety | Crochet Hair Scrunchies (₹150) is soft, pretty, and genuinely handcrafted. The ruffle detail makes it look far more premium than its price suggests.
It’s the perfect pick when you’re gifting in bulk — for return gifts at a birthday party, party favours at a mehendi, or as part of a small gift hamper paired with another Made of Hands piece. Practical, pretty, and made by hand: the holy trinity of a great small gift.
4. Lavender Crochet Keychain | ₹190
Perfect for: Gifting to women, best friend gifts, aesthetic lovers, floral & pastel themed parties
Some gifts just smell like a vibe — and the Lavender Crochet Keychain (₹190) is exactly that. Hand-crocheted into a delicate lavender sprig, it’s soft, pretty, and unmistakably handmade. The kind of accessory that looks gorgeous dangling off a tote bag or a set of keys and earns compliments every single time.
This one is particularly beloved by women who have an eye for aesthetics — the kind who appreciate things that are beautiful and meaningful. At ₹190, it’s one of those rare handmade gifts that looks far more expensive than it is, and feels personal in a way that no store-bought accessory ever could. A perfect small gift that says “I thought of you” without saying a word.
How to Gift These Beautifully on a Budget
Great gifting isn’t just about the product — it’s about the presentation. A few simple tips to make your Made of Hands gift feel extra special without spending more:
Pair two items together — like the Scrunchie and the Hair Clip — for a mini hair accessories hamper that still stays well under ₹300 total. Wrap in a small kraft paper bag with a handwritten note. The rustic packaging perfectly complements the handmade aesthetic. Add a line about where the gift comes from — made by women artisans in the Himalayas. Guests and recipients genuinely love knowing the story.
The Made of Hands Promise
Every product you buy from Made of Hands is made entirely by hand by skilled women artisans from Almora and the surrounding villages of Uttarakhand. There are no factories, no machines, and no shortcuts — just craft passed down through generations, now finding a market and a purpose through our small business. T
When you buy a ₹90 scrunchie or a ₹199 keychain from us, you’re not just buying a gift. You’re supporting a woman artisan’s livelihood, carrying home a piece of Himalayan heritage, and gifting something that no one else will have — because no two handmade pieces are ever truly the same.
