Gifts are an expression of love and care. Sending sweet little gifts can be a great way to stay connected with your loved ones (especially you cannot be together in person.) Good gift-giving, however, requires some thought and care. Instead of buying things that may be beautiful but have no use, let's pick beautiful and functional gifts.

Here are some of our favorite eco-friendly gifts from the best homegrown brands: 

‍
Coconut Bowls

What’s a better eco-friendly gift than a 100% natural bowl made from coconuts? Thenga, which means coconut in Malayalam, is a beautiful home brand. Maria Kuriakose, founder of Thenga, is on a mission to turn coconut waste into pieces of art. Each coconut is hand-picked, cut, cleaned and finished by local artisans from Kerala. Gift these eco-friendly bowls to friends and family and make their day! 

Moss Frame

Being a plant parent is tough. Brighten up your home with the low maintenance Moss Frame from My Bageecha. It does not require water or direct sunlight. Made with moss and fern, this 100% natural frame makes the perfect eco-friendly home décor that you can gift to your friends and family. 

Bamboo Speaker

On our list of sustainable gifting options, we have a speaker made completely out of bamboo. That’s right, folks. The bamboo speaker from The Happy Turtle requires no electricity or power. It is lightweight, handmade, 100% natural, and biodegradable. Need we say more? Gift it to a music lover and make their day! Play your favourite songs on your phone, dock it on the slot provided at the top and enjoy a fun musical evening with your friends and family.

What’s better than gifting your loved ones a cute little teapot? A cute handmade teapot that comes with plastic-free packaging, of course. Whether it’s housewarming, birthday, anniversary- the teapot from Thevasa is the perfect gift for all occasions. Channel some vintage feels, have a tea party with your friends.
