Sweets have been the biggest weakness of all Indians. More or less every Indian is born with a sweet tooth, irrespective of the place he is born. In India sweets are a symbolic of Indian culture in more than a way. Sweets are exchanged between friends and family during festivals and functions. Sweets are also used as an offering to Gods and Goddesses during worships.
The practice of exchanging sweets is very long and its origin can be traced back to the medieval times. Exchanging of sweets is still a very common practice. With every passing day this tradition has also been glamorized. In the earlier days only simple packets of sweets were exchanged. But nowadays beautiful and attractive hampers have replaced the simple packets of sweets.
The boxes come in various shapes, sizes and colours with a transparent top, which allow the sweets to be seen. They are decorated with laces, golden zaris etc. Each packet has a variety of sweets arranged neatly in a row or column and this arrangement gives a very colourful and attractive look.
The latest entry in the market has been that of health sweet hampers. These days people have become very cautious about their health, thus the demand for health sweets. These sweets are made of low fat or skimmed milk, ghee is used sparingly and instead of sugar some other sweetening agent is used. Such kind of sweets can satisfy a sweet tooth but does not harm the health like other sweets do.
