Short answer: Yes, if you pick pieces you will use daily. A 140 ml chai cup, a 180–280 ml wine goblet, a 210 ml whiskey glass or a 100 ml champagne flute in borosilicate glass costs Rs.639 to Rs.1249 and is microwave and dishwasher safe.
Singles Day, 11.11, is five days away. It is a good excuse to buy one thing for yourself that you enjoy every day.
Why does glassware make a good gift to yourself?
You touch it every day. A cup or glass is used morning and evening, so the pleasure repeats.
Borosilicate also lasts. It is scratch resistant, non-porous and lead-free, and the colours do not leach or fade. For the full comparison, read our guide on borosilicate vs regular glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is borosilicate glass safe for hot chai?
Yes. Borosilicate resists thermal shock, so the tea cups handle boiling-hot tea without cracking. Read more in our safety guide.
Can I put these glasses in the dishwasher?
Yes. These borosilicate pieces are dishwasher safe. Stemware is best washed upright.
Will the coloured glass fade?
No. The colours on the tinted pieces do not leach or fade with use or washing.
What does a double-walled flute do?
The air layer between the walls insulates the drink. Bubbly stays cold longer and the outside does not sweat.
Which gift to yourself is best under Rs.1000?
The 140 ml tea cups at Rs.639, the wine goblets at Rs.869 and Rs.899, and the whiskey glass at Rs.899 all fit under Rs.1000.
