Looking for courier packaging & printing in Siliguri — small business needs help!

Hellow everyone! 🌸

I run a small handmade business called Mystic Woven — we make hand-embroidered handkerchiefs, jewellery, clay works and more. Orders are coming in and I need to start dispatching properly!

Looking for two things in Siliguri:

1. Courier packaging — small quantity for now (10–15 pieces). Things like:

- Small boxes or pouches

- Bubble wrap

- Kraft paper bags or envelopes

Will need bulk/wholesale later as orders grow.

2. Printing — where can I get:

- Small stickers of my logo printed

- Small business cards

If anyone knows good shops with affordable and reasonable prices — wholesale markets, stationery shops, printing shops anywhere in Siliguri — please drop it in the comments! Even an area name would help a lot.

Thank you! 🙏

My mom does beautiful hand embroidery — would anyone be interested in buying embroidered handkerchiefs? 🧵

Hi everyone! 👋

My mother has been doing hand embroidery for years and she's genuinely talented at it. I'm trying to help her turn this skill into a small business, and we're starting simple — aesthetic hand-embroidered handkerchiefs.

She can recreate designs from inspiration pictures, or fully customise based on what you want. Think floral patterns, minimalist motifs, initials, whatever you like.

A few things I'd love to know from you all:

Would you buy something like this? (for yourself, as a gift, etc.)

What price would feel fair to you? Feel free to quote what you'd pay — it genuinely helps us figure out pricing.

Want something custom? You can DM me your reference pictures and she'll see what she can do!

We don't have photos of her work uploaded yet, but I have inspiration images that show the style and quality she can match or go beyond.

This is just a feeler post for now — your responses would mean a lot to a mom trying to do something of her own. 🙏

Drop a comment or DM! 😊

Areyou girly pops same as me?

I always have this urge to buy lip products. Like I bought 2 days ago and I want to buy 2 more from something different lip product. I love lipsticks and that's the only thing I am crazy about and spend crazy money on (not mine. Papaji ke paise). I don't hoard them though, I use them. Not daily but I switch daily and so I almost use every one of them.

It's been a month since I bought something!!!😭😭😭 I have collected the brands and shades that it became a huge damn list that if I purchase it right now, it will cost around 10k without any discount.

I need to buy lipsticks😭😭😭😭. (I want to)

But I don't have any money😭😭😭.

I also can't ask for any money😭😭😭.

I wanna buyyyy......girlsssss tell me what to doo😭😭😭

When's the next biggest sale in every makeup selling app? I will buy some from my wishlist then... Idc I will beg for the money. Or earn or idk what I'll do.

But tell me, how do you control your urges from buying what you are crazy about. It doesn't have to be lipsticks, it can be skincare or anything from haircare. What do you guys do?

What do I use to get these eyebrows? Wha's the best? What do you suggest?

My eyebrows😭😭.

They aren't eyebrowing anymore. It never did to be honest. It has always been lesser with thin hair and no density. I need good eyebrow serums to make my brows thicker and fuller.

Mid day meal to ISCKON. What about it? What's going to happen? Is it right or not a good decision?

"School mid day meal program is being handed over to iskcon. Apparently from now on only vegetarian food will be served in the schools. A welcome move from the government. Many vegetarian students were deprived of this scheme in bengal as they didn't eat egg or chicken, also vegetarian option was not provided for them. Now everyone will get the same veg menu."- I got this from another sub.

This is my own words: I saw West Bengal's CM Suvendu Adhikari's latest announcement that mid day meals have been given to ISCKON. As much as I am happy about it, I am worried to a large extent. First, children in the government schools of West Bengal, although passed by the government, don't get proper nutritious food to eat because the teachers, principals and staffs steal them for their homes. Kids don't get to eat eggs or fish daily in the first place. And now when the whole deal is given to ISCKON, people are showing outrage, as I have attached in the pictures. Every other sub, every other news channel and article is talking about how the government is not doing right, how BJP is slowly banning fish and eggs and will soon ban meat for their own propaganda, how blind the current CM is and many more and bashing ISCKON, giving out reports of how rajma, panner, dal is not equivalent in nutrition as eggs and how highly disturbing it is. Although it's agreeable that eggs do provide huge amount of nutrition and kids should have 2 boiled eggs daily, but it is also true that dairy, meat and eggs are the products of animal cruelty but again, it is an essential food item for the development of children, their body and brains. The outrage is wild that it feels more like the CM and Bengalis committed some crime.

I want to get to know your opinion on this. If it's good, why? If it's bad, why? I want to know from every perspective and point of view.

I guess my 900/- went to waste

Hey all 👋🏻

​

I posted a few days back stating that my Maccaron Delivery didn't reach me although it showed that it was delivered.

​

This is the link to the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianBeautyTalks/s/VXYhuhvHqx

​

So that day I called the delivery hub in my town and they said to send all the details- I did. And then he said that since he didn't have access to the computer at that time as his sir got off from work, I should call him early in the morning the next day- I did, at around 8:30-9:00am. Then they checked and said that my order went to the delivery site of some other town, IN ANOTHER DISTRICT!!! And the next moment he said "Hum aapki aur koi madad nahi kar sakte isme. Aapne humse pucha, humne bata dia jitna hum kar sakte the. Ye hamare haath me nhi hain"; although I asked if they could help me with that delivery hub's phone number or any contact information and they said that 'no, they couldn't'.

​

Later that day I received an email from Maccaron asking for my Order number- I gave them. The ss is what they had to say. Although I replied back they didn't look into it any furthermore.

​

I am so scared and hopeless that first my order wasn't delivered, and even if it wasn't, I didn't get my refund.😭😭😭 I feel like crying. I lost 900/- for this. Idk what to do anymore. I am feeling so damn guilty.

​

If you have any idea or anything to help, please guide me through it. Because if it were my money, I would have let it go; but it isn't. Please please help me 🥺 🙇🏻🙇🏻

Lost in life and scared. I seek serious guidance.

Hare Krishna

​

I would really appreciate some insights regarding my birth chart.

​

My main concern is my career. I have been feeling quite uncertain about my professional path and would like to know:

​

• What kind of career or profession is indicated in my chart?

​

•When am I likely to get a stable job (at what age) or see significant career progress?

​

I am also curious about marriage and relationships:

​

• Is marriage strongly indicated in my chart?

• If yes, when is it most likely to happen?

• If not, is there a possibility of remaining unmarried by choice?

​

Any additional observations about my life path, strengths, challenges, or major upcoming events would also be appreciated.

​

Thank you for taking the time to look at my chart.

Any of you tried this from RCM?

I went vegeterian right after class 10th and then vegan. My mother once cooked for me once to try how it would taste and it was nice. Did anyone try this?

I will start cooking and I need help to set up the kitchen Pt.2

Hey cooks!

I'm back to trouble you all again. 😅

First of all, thank you to everyone who helped me in my previous post. The responses were incredibly helpful, detailed, and kind. I genuinely learned a lot from you all.

Now onto my next beginner question: cooking oils.

Growing up, my mom mostly cooked with rice bran oil, so that's pretty much the extent of my knowledge. Since I'm setting up my own kitchen, I'd like to understand what oils are worth buying and what people actually use for everyday cooking.

I mostly enjoy cooking things like pasta, noodles, wraps, sandwiches, fried rice, biryani, salads, tacos and other non-traditional everyday (homemade/maa ke haath ka khana) meals, though I'll occasionally cook regular Indian food too.

A few things about me:

• I'm a vegetarian.

• I'm currently trying to lose weight and stay in a calorie deficit.

• I have Grade 1 fatty liver and borderline diabetes, so I'd like to make healthier choices where possible.

• I'm looking for foods and ingredients that are relatively high in protein and lower in carbs.

My questions:

• Which cooking oil would you recommend for everyday use

• Is rice bran oil a good option, or are there better alternatives?

• Do different oils actually make a meaningful difference for health, or is portion control more important?

• What vegetarian high-protein staples should I keep in my kitchen?

I'm in a small town in India, if that helps with recommendations.

Thank you!

I will start cooking and I need help to set up the kitchen

Hey cooks!

I'm setting up my kitchen in a few days and have absolutely no idea what I actually need to buy.

I already have the basics: bowls, plates, spoons, forks, a rice cooker/vessel, a kadhai, a tea pan, two plastic strainers, and a few other utensils. What I'm struggling with is figuring out the rest of the setup.

I mostly plan to cook things like pasta, tacos, wraps/rolls, biryani, fried rice, salads, sandwiches, and other fun meals. I'll do some regular Indian home-style cooking too, but probably less often.

I'd love suggestions on:

• Essential cookware and tools

• Storage containers (dry goods, leftovers, spices, oils, etc.)

• Knives, peelers, chopping boards, and other basics

• Kitchen organization ideas

• Things that seem useful but aren't actually worth buying

I'm a student, so my budget is pretty tight—ideally ₹500–800, with ₹1000 being the absolute maximum for now.

I love cooking and have been cooking at home for years, but it was always my mother's kitchen, so I never got to decide how things were organized or what was bought. Now that I'm living away for studies, I finally get to build my own kitchen from scratch.

I'll be cooking for one person. I have access to a stove and basic utensils. There is a fridge in the house, but it belongs to my landlord, so I can only use a very small amount of space (if any). Realistically, I can store something small like a milk carton or a smoothie jar, but I can't rely on refrigeration for meal prep or bulk storage.

My goal is simple: affordable, minimalist, essential, and practical.

Please help a kitchen newbie avoid wasting money on unnecessary stuff. 😅

Thank you!

One of those once in a million itv dramas that were actually, surprisingly GOOOOD>>>

The main leads had such brilliant chemistry and performances , tbh this might be an unpopular opinion but I preferred them over even aish Hritik in the movie.. soap dramas can sometimes be soo good at using the large no of episodes to fully etch out the slow burn and angst and this was one of them🤌🤌

Found this on r/cinemmon.
