Send a surprise in New Delhi
To send a surprise to someone in New Delhi, post it on Surprise World and a local Helper can offer to deliver it. Many homes sit in gated colonies or housing societies where a guard must approve visitors, so tell the recipient to expect the delivery and share a nearby landmark, since house numbers alone can be hard to follow.

Delivery tips for New Delhi
- 1
Many housing societies require the guard to call the resident before letting a visitor in, so ask the recipient to be reachable.
- 2
House numbering can be confusing, so share a nearby landmark and the recipient's phone arrangement through the platform messages.
- 3
Summer heat from April to June can melt cakes, so ask the Helper to keep them cool.

Winter fog in December and January can slow travel, so allow extra time.
- 5
Traffic is heavy at peak hours and during festivals, so agree a flexible window.
Gift etiquette
Gifts are traditionally offered with the right hand or with both hands as a sign of respect.
Many people may open a gift later rather than in front of the giver, so do not be surprised by a quiet reception.
Some Hindu families avoid leather items as gifts, so many people choose other options.
