Dashain, a significant Hindu festival in Nepal, is a time for family gatherings and the exchange of blessings and gifts. To make your gifts more meaningful, consider incorporating elements of traditional Nepali culture like Makkusé, the traditional Nepali treat, as a symbol of love and blessings. Gifting beautifully decorated Makkusé Boxes with Nepali sweets like Gundpak, Pustakari, and cookies representing abundance and prosperity, or personalized Makkusé can be cherished gifts that carry the essence of tradition and love.

What is Makkusé?

Pustakari and Gundpak were once the go-to choices for festivals and special occasions in the valley, but now, very few people want them as Indian sweets have taken over the Nepali market. However, Nepali sweets can still gain recognition in Nepal and foreign markets with effective promotion and marketing. Anushka Shrestha, Co-founder and CEO of Makkusé sees this as an opportunity to celebrate her cultural heritage and fulfill her entrepreneurial aspirations. Makkusé offers unique Dashain treats for a memorable festive season, including exclusive gift packs featuring Dashain Ultimate Gift Box and Changa Gift Box. They also offer Sugar-free Gundpak and Diabetic Pustakari, made with herbal sugar with a low glycemic index, suitable for diabetics, pre-diabetics, and health-conscious consumers. Makkusé's unique offerings, including the daily 'Khuwa', a thickened milk ingredient, are a testament to their commitment to providing delicious and healthy sweets.

It's possible that Nepali packaging isn't all that good?

Talking about the packaging, the boxes themselves evoke the traditional charm of a Newa chest designing a copper detail reminiscent of the 'tama' found in Newa pottery and utensils proved to be a tough challenge. In addition to the standard packaging, Makkusé also offers a range of special gift boxes, including the Small gift box, Ultimate luxury gift box, Guraas gift box, Birthday gift box, and Maya gift box, each adding an authentic Nepali touch to elevate any celebration. The price of Makkusé delicacies ranges from an affordable point of Rs 120 to a premium point of Rs 4499.
