Muh Dikhai Gifts for the Bride

A good muh dikhai gift is something the bride can hold and keep: an accessories tray, a fashion tray or a beauty set presented on a tray, given to her when the groom's family first see her in her new home. Our muh dikhai trays start at Rs 11,599; accessories and beauty trays can go the same day in Lahore and Gujranwala when you order before 3 PM, subject to availability, while fashion trays and hampers need 2 to 3 days.

Because the gift is handed to her rather than added to a pile, presentation matters more here than at any other function. A tray holds several things together, looks finished when it is passed to her, and does not need unwrapping in front of a room of people she has only just met.

From the Mother in Law and Close Family

Jewellery is still the traditional muh dikhai from the immediate in laws, and many families give it alongside a tray rather than on its own. If you want the tray to carry the occasion, two of ours are made for a new bride:

• The Bridal Embroidered Accessories Luxury Gift Tray, Rs 32,699, built around a hand embroidered maroon dupatta.
• The Bridal Wedding Gift Tray, Rs 40,799, with a white and mustard embroidered two piece outfit, a clutch, flat shoes, a ladies watch, a wedding couple snow globe, pink roses and Ferrero Rocher.

Muh Dikhai Trays by Budget

For aunts, sisters in law and cousins, a tray between Rs 10,000 and Rs 25,000 is the usual range. Choose by what she will use:

• Rs 11,599: the LED Rose Beauty Accessories Basket, makeup brushes and beauty pieces under a rose and fairy light arch.
• Rs 15,499: the Ladies Fashion Gift Tray with a printed silk shirt, sandals, a mini perfume, purple roses and Ferrero Rocher.
• Rs 19,299: the Dove Skincare Complete Gift Set on a blush pink tray, practical for her first weeks in a new house.
• Rs 21,499: the Premium Accessories Perfume Cellophane Tray with pearl bangles, hair accessories and earrings.
• Rs 24,499: the Ladies Fashion Hamper with a linen shirt, scarf, heels, a handbag, white roses and perfume.

Lighter Gifts From Neighbours and Friends

Neighbours and family friends are expected to give something smaller, and going too large can put the bride in an awkward spot. Bangles suit the day: the Pearl Bangle Pink Flower Accessories Gift Box is Rs 4,499, so pair it with a bouquet to reach the Rs 4,999 minimum order. If your family gives cash, the Ivory Money Bouquet at Rs 9,999 presents PKR 100 notes with pink and white roses. You can also browse our flower bouquets.

Timing, Delivery and the Card

Sending a Muh Dikhai Gift From Abroad

Many muh dikhai gifts are sent by relatives who cannot travel for the wedding. Pay by bank transfer, Wise or Remitly, confirm on WhatsApp. Since you will not be in the room when she receives it, we WhatsApp you photos and a video of the gift before delivery. Our send gifts from abroad page explains each step, and the guide to the best gift for a Pakistani wedding covers the other functions.
