The month of February is the month of valentine’s day which means you are going to buy a lot of gifts for your loved ones. However, this month let’s be creative in our gifting items and support Nepalese products.

We often tend to neglect and appreciate what we have and strive for something else. We find ourselves looking smart at foreign brands rather than Goldstar. Today, there are so many Nepalese products that reflect the Nepali culture, tradition, and values in them. The month of February means the month of valentine’s day, maybe your loved ones’ birthday, or you might as well come across some other events where you are to surprise them with gifts. So how about embracing the idea of a Nepali product’s gifts? What would happen if each one of us started supporting Nepalese brands? How about we start from now?

The beauty of Nepal, the core ethics that people believe in, and the traditions, overall, if we observe our country, is breathtaking. There are so many products that are made in Nepal and also hand-made goods, however, maybe it is lagging in the market as we Nepalese are so much into foreign brands. Let’s discuss and see what we can gift to our loved ones:

  1. Pashmina:

Winter is knocking on the door. Your loved ones might need a shawl to warm them up or to style as a shawl, so pashmina can be a very good idea for the gift. Let me tell you, Pashmina is the inner-coat hair of the mountain goats. It Is the result of combining all the hairs of the goal that comes out as the beautiful, warm, long-lasting, and soft fabric. However, the duplicates are taking the market, so before buying them, research and must be careful. They can be found around Boudhha, Thamel, Bassantapur are mostly. 

  1. Trekking Gears:

If you are planning for hiking/trekking or going somewhere very cold like Kalinchowk, Fulchowki, or in a snowy place, then, you need to add Trekking gears to a closet. However, Trekking gears that are made in Nepal can be a very interesting and thoughtful gift idea. It could be jackets, sleeping bags, shirts, shoes, etc. They can be found around Thamel areas, and are very reasonable in price.

  1. Thangka paintings:

If you want your gifts to be kept forever, which has chances, gifting Thangka paintings can be a very good idea. Thangkas are traditional Nepali paintings painted on a piece of silk cloth or cotton canvas. Thangka paintings are the embodiment of hard work, dedication, and patience. It takes them almost six to eight months for one painting, depending on the details included.

  1. Prayer flag:

A prayer flag might sound simple but it carries values that are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. Gifting a prayer flag to someone might be a way of expressing that you want all the good to come on their way. Hanging a miniature of prayer flags adds to the aesthetic of the room and spreads positivity. A prayer flag as a gift can be a thoughtful idea.

  1. Hemp products:

Hemp is the fiber of the Cannabis plant which is extracted from its stem and is used in making different industrial and commercial products like bags, ropes, papers, etc. The Hemp products are very pleasing to our eyes and have a very low impact on the environment which can also be a good gifting idea. 

If you are wondering about the brands of Nepal, let’s look at the list below:

  • Goldstar
  • Mheecha
  • Urban girl
  • Dochaa
  • KTM CTY
  • Caliber shoes and many others.

Nepali products have the potential to be popular all over the world. However, it needs support and promotion, it needs the Nepalese people to use and find comfort in Nepalese products and then only, the products can take off to land in different parts of the world. All the Nepalese items are the amalgam of love from every region and the epitome of uniqueness. This month, February: the month of love, the month of valentine’s day, if only we gift our loved ones, a Nepalese product, it will be a great help to all the Nepalese products that are struggling to thrive in the market.
