Gift giving in India is a tradition as old as time, but more than that it is an emotion that can be seen in celebration of any kind like weddings, Diwali, and any corporate event to name a few. With increased environmental awareness of Indian consumers, sustainable gifting is now taking centre stage. A report from DownToEarth. Sr. Plastic pollution study by aplasticfree.org showed that India produces 3.5 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, so we have to urgently switch to sustainable solutions.
Selecting eco-friendly gift boxes, baskets, & hampers made from natural jute, upcycled plastic yarns & cotton are not just indicative of thoughtful gifting but also empower Indian artisans from rural areas and women artisans. These gifts create a lower dependence on plastic, strengthen sustainable livelihoods, and create a lasting impact.
From sustainable corporate gifting options and artisanal trousseau boxes to festival hampers, this guide brings together some of the best Made-in-India picks that are as inclined to contemporary thought as they are to age-old craftsmanship.
