Give gifts that uplift the environment and create happiness this Diwali to give your celebrations a unique spin. There is a discernible trend towards more responsible and environmentally conscious choices as the Indian gifting sector continues to grow, with corporate gifting expanding by 200% yearly. You can show your gratitude to your co-workers and staff at this Festival of Lights by demonstrating your dedication to a greener planet via heartfelt actions.

These five original business gift ideas can add even more personal touches to this Diwali celebration.

Light Up Lives, Grow a Forest

As the globe gets closer to the 1.5 °C limit, the climate clock is running out of time. Trees can be our allies in this situation by collecting carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. Given that a mature tree may absorb up to 20 kg of CO2 annually, giving a tree as a Diwali gift can help reduce pollution. To help tribal communities, improve wildlife habitats, expand green cover across urban heat islands, enhance biodiversity, and stop soil erosion, click on Grow-Trees.com and select a particular project. In addition to providing the chance to plant trees in different parts of India, Grow-Trees.com also awards a special eTreeCertificate to recognize your support of reforestation initiatives. Grow-Trees allows you to monitor the Project’s location.

Eco-sensitive products

Give eco-friendly lifestyle items like reusable water bottles, stainless steel straws, bamboo toothbrushes, pens and phone holders, upcycled laptop bags, wooden puzzles, sustainable grooming kits, etc. to your coworkers and staff this holiday season to help them lessen their reliance on single-use plastics and non-biodegradable items. These presents reduce plastic waste, support zero-waste alternatives, and foster a corporate culture of ethical giving.

Gift hampers with organic treats

A wonderful festive gift is a luxurious and eco-friendly hamper full of caffeine-free teas, gourmet chocolates, and bread, jams without preservatives, healthy snacks, vegan cookies and cupcakes, granola bars, and carefully chosen pantry items like natural honey and fruit squash with jaggery. Giving gift cards to coworkers and employees as a way to help companies that support organic food is an additional choice.

Green lighting and beyond

Beautiful eco-friendly Diwali presents include lanterns made of handmade paper, coconut shells, ceramic and clay diyas, cork tea light holders, soy candle jars, and solar-powered lights. Giving incense made from recycled temple flowers to staff members can also help cut down on floral waste while providing a fragrant boost to their Diwali festivities. This considerate present encourages a green celebration while enhancing the festive mood. Other gift alternatives include chemical-free rangoli sets and plantable crackers.

Upcycled goodies

Unique gift ideas that are both fashionable and useful include cork coasters, cork table clocks, plantable seed paper calendar kits, and diaries, lamps made from recycled bottles, and wallets constructed from repurposed materials like old tires, fabric scraps, or recovered leather. Choose a present this Diwali that emphasizes a common commitment to a greener future while still reflecting the joy of the holiday.

Happy Diwali.
