In Pics | Last minute sustainable gifting ideas for this Diwali

As we welcome the festival of lights this year, one very important task people look forward to is giving and receiving gifts. Even though we often plan this age-old ritual meticulously, sometimes we do struggle to pick a nice gift for our loved ones, courtesy our tight work schedules. Fret not, we list below some last minute sustainable gift ideas for you. 

Miniature idols - Coins or miniature idols of gods and goddesses are beautiful options to choose from while planning to gift your closed ones.

Home decor items - Home decor items such as tealight holders, coloured diwali lamps with motifs, wind chimes, photo frame sets and upcycled planters are also items worth gifting to your loved ones.

Snacks and sweets - While gifting food and snacks is a common practice, you can opt to gift healthy snacks and organic products instead of the traditional sweets.

Jute and organic bags, wallets - One of the best sustainable gifts one can give is a eco-friendly, recycled bags, totes or wallet. Several independent designers make these products from discarded plastics and other fabrics.

Books - Probably not a gift option for everyone, but definitely for a reader.
