* Lamps or Deepam
Lamps are not only considered a source of light but also a symbol of purity. I lamp is said to absorb impurities and yet remain pure. When lit, the lamp’s flame acts as a source of energy as it provides heat and light to the house, it’s also said to kills germs! These lamps are also used for poojas or arti and by placing your hands over the flame you absorb its aura and get a boost of energy.

The plant is said to act as a very good air purifier, its leaves are aromatic and the oil of the leaves can also destroy bacteria. If consumed, the leaves can help solve digestive problems, cure common colds and much more. Gifting someone a tulsi plant is a great way to say that you care about their health and well-being.
* Lotus Flower
The lotus is a symbol of beauty, purity, expanding of the soul, rebirth and more. This flower has different meanings stemming from different religions and cultures, but all cultures agree that it’s a thing of beauty. In Buddhism, each colour of the lotus also has meaning, the Blue Lotus- victory of spirit, White lotus – being awakened, mental purity, and that of spiritual perfection, Purple Lotus- is considered mystic, Pink lotus flower- the true lotus of Buddha, Red lotus- love and compassion. A real lotus plant is good for those who have a pond in their garden. As not all homes have this kind of water feature, a crystal lotus is also a great gift idea.
