How It Works

The Manadey universe

Manadey is a modern house of Indian gifting, arranged as a universe of worlds — Festivals, Two, Weddings, Ritual and Signature. Each world gathers the gifting of one part of life, so you can begin from a moment rather than a product.

1. Choose a world

Start with the occasion. This week, the Festivals world leads with the Ganesh Chaturthi Hamper — one complete box to welcome Bappa home.

2. Choose a gift, or build your own

Every world holds individual pieces (our “stars”) and curated hampers (our “constellations”). Pick a ready-made hamper, or gather individual pieces into something of your own.

3. Make it personal

Add a personalised gift message, written by you and finished on Manadey stationery. Our ritual boxes also include the signature “My Sankalp” card — a place to write an intention that sits beside the celebration.

4. We pack and ship

Each order is packed by hand into a Manadey box with tissue, filler and ribbon, then shipped across the United States. During festival weeks, order early so it arrives in time — Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 falls on September 14, so this week’s orders ship first.

5. A keepsake that stays

Our philosophy: don’t sell what’s inside the box, sell what happens when the box is opened. Wherever we can, we include a permanent keepsake — a brass token, a diya — so the gift outlives the moment.
