For those of you who don’t already know, Diwali is a holiday that is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains around the world. What amused me when I first heard about Diwali is that it is known as the “Festival of Lights”, which is also what the Jewish holiday Hannukah is called. I’ve learned a lot about world religions and cultures without ever doing research or travelling to foreign destinations. All I need to do is interact with people around me, in my community or at work. This is one of the joys and freedom of living in a multicultural country like Canada.
Diwali-themed Quality Street signage and chocolate tins at a grocery store in Toronto, Canada.
Recently, I was impressed to see a large Diwali-themed display of Quality Street chocolates (a renowned British treat) at a local grocery store. Over the years, I’ve discovered that religions and cultures may observe different holidays, but they all end the same way: Eating and partying with family and friends. Happy Diwali if you’re celebrating and remember to exercise caution with fireworks!
Hello
Do you, or your friends or relatives, own one of the Quality Street DIWALI tins ??
I am a french collector of QualityStreet tins over the years , and itwoul be such a great pleasure for me to be able to buy one of those tins !!

Sorry Yves-Marie, I do not have a Diwali tin. Maybe one of my readers will have one. I did not see a special tin in 2014. This post was written in 2013.
Thanks a lot for your kind answer
& hope that others will read it 🙂
