Choose to gift the ever-giving environment this Diwali as well when gifting your loved ones. Here's a list of best eco-friendly Diwali gifts you may want to pick from!

Eco-Friendly Diwali Gifts 2022: Diwali is more than just a celebration of joy. It is also a ritual of dharma, and our foremost dharma is to protect our mother nature. Diwali comes and goes with a bundle of gifts each year, be it a Bhaiduj special or a casual one. We also buy new things for Diwali: Murti of Goddess Laxmi, diyas, dresses, shoes, bags, accessories, etc. Let’s ensure that this Diwali we also gift nature a bit as well by making all these gifts eco-friendly.

List of Best Eco-Friendly Diwali Gifts 2022

Here are the best eco-friendly Diwali gifts we have hand-picked for you:

1. Upcycled Fashion

One of the most popular gifts people give and receive are fashion accessories, be it dresses, shoes, earrings, handbags, etc. If you’re looking to gift someone trendy and comfortable accessories, pick the ones that are chemical-free and made from recycled materials. Several brands in the market provide shoes made from recycled PET bottles, fabrics made from organic materials, or handbags made from fabrics and plastics that would eventually end up in landfills.

2. Upcycled Planters

Want to gift someone who loves gardening? Upcycled planters are one of the best options. Instead of using plastic pots to grow green plants, opt for planters made from old bottles newly decorated or those made from reclaimed wood. It is sure to add an aesthetic charm to their house as it is likely to add to the environment.

3. Electronics

There’s only so much to green for when gifting electronics yet preferring battery-run products instead of cell-run products is an eco-friendlier way of gifting. Say, you want to gift a Bluetooth speaker, prefer the one with a rechargeable battery than replaceable cells to make your gift more environment friendly.

4. Accessories for Pooja

Diwali is incomplete without the worship of Goddess Laxmi. Buy a murti made from clay instead of gypsum. Use diyas made from clay instead of plastics. Use incense sticks made from flowers instead of carbon-infused fragrances. Lanterns are made from paper instead of plastic.

5. Upcycled Bags

Backpacks are essentials, be it for students or your traveller friends. We have long been using bags made from plastic fibres. Replace it with an eco-friendlier bag made from recycled plastics/fibres or jute.
