Last week, many cities across India saw the first few hints of the mighty monsoon. It couldn’t have come at a better time, the summer season was starting to get tiresome! Not everyone likes the monsoon though – so, we thought we’d put together a list of monsoon essentials to make the season a lot more enjoyable. For those that are big lovers of the rainy season, we’re sure you’re going to buy something off this monsoon essentials list!

So let’s get started!

1. No Wet Umbrellas In The House!

One of our biggest pet peeves is soaking wet umbrellas being dragged through the house. Thankfully, there is a solution to this problem – an umbrella stand. Put this chic, white and gold umbrella stand near your main door, at the first signs of the monsoon season, to save yourself from wet floors!

Would our monsoon essentials list be complete without a savoury snack? We’ll answer for you – NO! Salty snacks and the monsoons are a perfect combination. Instead of the usual packet of potato chips, why not change things up a bit this season and opt for these beetroot chips! Try it, you won’t be disappointed.
