Pohela Boishakh gifts made by hand
Pohela Boishakh is the one occasion where local craft is the obvious gift rather than an alternative to one. Terracotta, handloom, and traditional motifs are exactly what makers work in year round.
This guide covers what to look for and when to order.

Handloom cotton, terracotta ornaments and tableware, brass work, and beaded or clay jewellery all sit naturally in the occasion.

Ordering in time
Add the listing's production days to the delivery time quoted by the seller. Ordering two to three weeks out is safer than the final week.
Delivery is never bundled into the product price. After you place the order the seller quotes a delivery fee, you review subtotal plus fee as the total, and you accept it before the seller can confirm.
Payment
Orders are cash on delivery. Payment is recorded separately by an authorised operator after the cash is actually collected, so a delivered order is not automatically a paid order.
