Your Diwali checklist: Gifting

And of course there are gifts for the entire family and many friends. Keep a few things in mind though:

  • Avoid plastic. Make this Diwali plastic-free by using environmental friendly bags, wrappers, and gifts.
  • Check online for some good deals. Many online stores offer excellent Diwali gifting opportunity. You can even send gifts to your family/friends living anywhere in the world.
  • Gift people plants, seeds, gardening books or equipment. That way we can you can earn your own carbon points!
  • Buy gifts made by underprivileged members of the society. Many blind schools, special homes have stalls or items on display. Find out about such events in your city. Light up their Diwali too.
