When A Combo Box Wins
Three Ballito gifting problems it solves
The host you do not know well
Invited to a Diwali gathering and unsure what the family likes? A combo box is a safe bet that gives the host options to put out.
The mixed household
Someone at home loves mithai, someone else will only touch a samoosa. A combo box keeps both happy. Prefer to split? See sweet boxes or savoury boxes.

Diwali combo boxes in Ballito: your questions
What is a Diwali combo box?
A Diwali combo box has both sweets and savouries in the same box. You get handmade sweets, such as traditional Indian mithai, swiss rolls and desserts, together with savouries such as samoosas and spring rolls, so one gift covers both.
Can I order Diwali combo boxes for Ballito?
Yes. We are a Durban maker and Ballito customers can order from us on WhatsApp on 061 353 3751. Send your Ballito address, how many boxes you need, who they are for and the date, and we will confirm how your order can reach you.
What sizes do the combo boxes come in, and what is in each?
Contact us on WhatsApp on 061 353 3751 for the sizes available and what each box can hold. Tell us who the box is for and we will help you choose the right one.
Is a combo box cheaper than a sweet box and a savoury box separately?
Pricing depends on what goes in the box and its size, so we do not quote a comparison here. Message us with what you have in mind and we will tell you the price.
Should I choose a combo box, a sweet box or a savoury box?
Choose a combo box when you want sweet and savoury together, or when you do not know what someone prefers. Choose a sweet box if you are sure they love sweets, and a savoury box if they would rather have samoosas and spring rolls.
Can I order many combo boxes for staff or clients in Ballito?
Yes. When you are giving to many people, tastes vary, and a combo box covers both. Tell us how many boxes you need, the date and where they are going, and we will let you know what we can do.
Is it delivery or collection for Ballito?
That depends on your address, the date and how many boxes you need. Tell us on WhatsApp and we will confirm what is possible before you commit to anything.
How early should I order for Diwali 2026?
As early as you can. The main day of Diwali in 2026 is Sunday 8 November, and the festival runs from Friday 6 to Tuesday 10 November. Tell us the date you need your boxes, and we will confirm the details with you.
