Each time we think of buying someone a gift, we are riddled with doubt. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the option to swap a gift without the gifter knowing?
Kizo lets you do this. The gifting app, launched by fashion designer Payal Khandwala and husband Vikram Ramchandani, helps you send gift cards from design-led brands curated by the couple. “We found that with friends and families living in different cities, or separated due to the pandemic, gifting became even tougher during the lockdown. The idea was to make it convenient in a more thoughtful way, where you discover new brands and the flexibility lies in the hands of the person you gift. Now, you never have to give or receive another gift that won’t be loved,” says Khandwala. Kizo is easy to navigate, we found. The collection includes apparel, jewellery, cosmetics, bags and skincare.

As jewellery hoarders, we found Kizo’s jewellery collection both eye-catching and wardrobe-friendly. The designs are contemporary, fashionable and can elevate any outfit. The rug collection stands out from the rest of the lifestyle section and is a personal favourite of this writer. Despite the limited number of pieces available, the colours of these rugs and their abstract designs can make them an ideal decorative piece for your home.

The board games section is also a good place to look for unique gift ideas. When it comes to board games we usually gift games like ludo, snakes and ladders, monopoly, uno, etc. Kizo, on the other hand, has a wide range of board games with catchy names like Cards vs. Sanskaar, taco cat goat cheese pizza, sixstix, and others that are very different from the mainstream board or card games we play. Cards vs. Sanskaar, for instance, is nearly identical to and as despicable as Cards vs. Humanity. However, in Cards vs. Sanskaar, the questions are filmy, making the game more enjoyable to play.

There are two gifting options, the guided gifting and the Kizo gift card. If you’re sure about the likes and choices of the person you’re gifting, go for guided gifting. If not, simply add any amount of your choice to the gift card. Both options make your gifting experience easy. To make the experience more personalised, you can attach a message, a recording or a picture along with the gift.
