Buy some flavored popcorn
While we are discussing about rewri, gachak, one can’t forget about delightful popcorn- because, trust me they are as important as other food items for Lohri celebration. But this time around, pick up different flavors of popcorns like caramel, tomato, cream, etc. Add them in a pretty jar and place it on the food table. It will in turn make your dining table look colorful as one can possibly imagine.
Set up bonfire
Whether it is about haystack seating like the image given above or just sitting on pastel stools or mismatched chairs, either way sitting around the bonfire to talk and sing is must for Lohri.

Snuggle up in blanket
Well, the words say it all. On dreary winter night, when Lohri fire diminishes, let the party not end up. Stock up the blankets and display them. The rustic way is the best way to go outdoors. So, brace up the style.
