Uttarayan and Makar Sankranti gifts
For Uttarayan and Sankranti, give a pocket-size solid perfume for a day on the terrace: Intense Cool or Fruity Bliss by day, Ancient for the evening.
In mid-January, India celebrates the sun's turn north: Uttarayan in Gujarat, Makar Sankranti across much of the country, Pongal in Tamil Nadu and Lohri in Punjab. In Ahmedabad and across Gujarat, that means two days on the terrace with kites, chikki, undhiyu and music from morning until dark.
A day in the sun, on the terrace or at the bonfire calls for a fragrance that can be carried and touched up, which is exactly what a solid perfume is for.

Small gifts for a big gathering
Sankranti is traditionally a time for sharing sweets like til-gud with neighbours and family. A solid perfume is a small, lasting gift to give alongside them.
