There’s something timeless about the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee — it brings people together, sparks conversations, and turns simple rituals into memorable moments. This Diwali, Starbucks India celebrates that spirit of connection by weaving it beautifully into India’s festive story. In an exquisite confluence of coffee culture and couture, the global coffee house joins hands with designer duo Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla to unveil a Diwali gift box that captures the essence of elegance, indulgence, and shared celebration.
Starbucks has long been more than just a café; it has become a familiar meeting place, a corner where friends reconnect, ideas take shape, and quiet moments are savoured. This festive collaboration reflects the brand’s ability to blend its global coffee heritage with India’s deep-rooted cultural warmth, creating a gifting experience that goes beyond the ordinary.
The limited-edition AJSK x Starbucks Diwali Gift Box is designed to delight coffee lovers and loyal patrons who see their daily brew as a personal ritual. At its heart is an ivory mug with gilded detailing, a piece that seamlessly blends functionality with artistic storytelling. Inspired by India’s cultural richness, the design features architectural motifs, intricate patterns, flora, fauna, and the peacock — a signature element in the Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla universe. It transforms every cup of coffee into a moment of indulgence and reflection.
Alongside it rests the ‘Mehbooba’ candle, a sensory highlight of this collaboration. Its fragrance brings together the romantic notes of rose with the depth of Arabic oud, evoking a sense of festive intimacy. A special Starbucks® Diwali Blend, sourced from the lush hills of Karnataka, adds warmth and flavour with its nutty, subtly spiced profile, while the classic French Press invites you to slow down and savour the experience of brewing.
Designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla describe the hamper as “a sensory delight of couture-inspired aesthetics, a luxury scented candle and delicious coffee enveloped in one joyous offering.” Their touch lends the collection a sense of timeless elegance — a fusion of artistry and lifestyle that fits beautifully into the celebratory mood of Diwali.
This collaboration is an invitation to pause, share, and celebrate. Whether it’s a gift for someone special or a treat to elevate your own festive rituals, the AJSK x Starbucks Diwali Gift Box embodies the warmth of tradition and the pleasure of modern indulgence — one brew at a time.
