The Tohfa medium gift assortment · the most-ordered Diwali gift box for NRI families in Chicago
Diwali 2026 falls on Saturday, October 24. Dhanteras kicks off the festival on October 20, and Bhai Dooj closes it on October 26. For NRI families in Chicago, that's a five-day festival window — and enough lead time now to plan something that actually arrives fresh, vacuum-sealed, in time for Lakshmi Puja.
The hardest part of Diwali abroad isn't decorating. It's getting the sweets right.
Most NRI Indian-grocery sites stock pickle and mithai jars bottled in India 6-12 weeks ago and shipped via container. The texture is right; the taste is flat. Desify ships your Diwali mithai vacuum-sealed and packed the morning of dispatch, direct from Hyderabad to your Chicago address in 3-5 business days.
