Eco-friendly gifts for Holi not only spread love and cheer but also promote sustainability and environmental consciousness. Here are six eco-friendly gift ideas for Holi.
Traditional Holi colours often contain harmful chemicals and synthetic dyes that can cause skin allergies and harm the environment. Opt for organic, natural colours made from ingredients like turmeric, beetroot, and flower extracts.
Encourage green living by gifting seed bombs, which are small balls made of soil, clay, and seeds. When thrown onto bare soil, they sprout into plants, helping to restore greenery and biodiversity.
Replace traditional water balloons, which are often made of non-biodegradable plastic, with eco-friendly alternatives.
Instead of gifting store-bought sweets and snacks packaged in plastic, consider creating homemade organic treats. Bake organic cookies, prepare natural fruit juices, or make traditional Indian sweets.
Choose plantable greeting cards embedded with seeds that recipients can plant after use. These cards are made from recycled paper embedded with seeds of flowers or herbs.
Gift reusable products that promote sustainable living, such as bamboo or stainless steel water bottles, cloth tote bags, or metal straws.
