Your Guide
How to pick a gift that is kinder to the planet, and why it matters.
How to pick an eco-friendly gift
Worth checking before you buy
- 🎁 Pick something they will use. A gift that sits in a drawer is waste, however it was made.
- ♻️ Ask what it is made of. Upcycled, natural or plant-based materials beat new plastic.
- 📦 Check the packaging. Many of these stores ship plastic-free; it is worth asking the rest.
- 🗞️ Skip the wrapping paper. A cloth wrap, a reused box or newspaper does the job.
- 🚚 Order early in festival weeks. Delivery times vary by store and pincode, and Diwali and Christmas weeks are the busiest.
- 🏢 Ordering for an office? Give large corporate orders three to four weeks, and ask about branding and invoices up front.
Why choose an eco-friendly gift?
A festival fills the bins faster than any other week.
Gifting season shows up in the rubbish. Over the three days of Diwali in 2022, Mumbai generated an average of 7,200 metric tonnes of waste a day, against its usual 6,200 to 6,300.
A lot of that is wrapping and packaging, and much of it is plastic. India generated 41.36 lakh tonnes of plastic waste in 2022-23, according to the environment ministry.
An eco-friendly gift cuts the waste at the start: something made from material that already exists, from natural materials, or something that gets used up, sent in packaging you can reuse or compost.
EcoFlyp lists Indian brands and artisan groups that make gifts from waste, natural materials or traditional craft: candles, incense, chocolate, honey, toys, stationery, bags and home decor. Most ship across India, and some ship abroad. Each card says what the store makes, where it is based, where it delivers and its starting price, and links straight to the store.
Use Filters to narrow by gift type, city, price and whether a store takes corporate gifting orders. The guide below suggests Diwali, Christmas and New Year gifts from these stores.
Eco-friendly gifts by occasion
Diwali, Christmas, New Year and corporate gifting, from the stores on this page.
Eco-friendly Diwali gifts
Diwali gifts are mostly things that get used up or used every day, which makes them easy to choose well. On this page: incense and dhoop made from flowers collected at temples (Phool, Holy Waste, Nirmalaya), soy wax candles (RAD LVNG, Florence & Co), chocolate made from Indian cacao (Mason & Co, Paul and Mike, Naviluna, Soklet, Manam), forest honey and millet sweets (Royal Bee Brothers, Earth Poorna), and terracotta serveware from Indian potters (Terracotta by Sachii).
Wrap them in cloth, a reused box or handmade paper. Foil and glitter wrapping paper is hard to recycle; Pune Handmade Papers sells handmade gift wrap.
Sustainable Christmas gifts
For Christmas and Secret Santa: wooden and Channapatna toys for children (Funwood Games, Bombay Toy Company, Shumee, Desi Toys), chocolate and candles, and decor made from upcycled flowers, paper and fabric (Gulmeher) or from glass and coconut shell (Vapasee).
For a Secret Santa budget, use the price slider in Filters. Many of these stores start under ₹200.
Eco-friendly New Year gifts
Gifts for a fresh start: recycled-paper journals and planners (The Paper Dolphin, Rescript), plantable seed-paper stationery (Seed Paper India, Surprise Someone), grow kits for a first garden (Sow And Grow, Bombay Greens, Garden Genie), and bamboo personal care that replaces plastic (The Bamboo Bae).
Sustainable corporate gifts
For employees, clients or events, set Corporate gifting to Yes in Filters to see the stores that take corporate orders. Several offer custom branding and gift hampers.
Before you order, ask each store about minimum order size, custom branding, GST invoices and delivery dates, and allow three to four weeks for a large order before a festival.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying eco-friendly gifts
Where can I buy eco-friendly gifts online in India?
Every store on this page sells online, and most ship across India. Use Filters to narrow by gift type, city, price and corporate gifting; pick your city to see the stores based near you first. A few also have a shop you can visit.
What are good eco-friendly Diwali gifts?
Things that get used up or used every day: incense made from temple flowers, soy wax candles, Indian bean-to-bar chocolate, forest honey, millet sweets and terracotta serveware. Wrap them in cloth or a reused box rather than foil paper. The occasion guide on this page names stores for each.
What are sustainable Christmas gift ideas in India?
Wooden and Channapatna toys for children, chocolate, candles, and decor made from upcycled flowers, paper, fabric, glass or coconut shell. For Secret Santa, set a budget with the price slider in Filters; many of these stores start under ₹200.
What are good eco-friendly New Year gifts?
Gifts that start a habit: recycled-paper journals and planners, plantable seed-paper stationery, grow kits for a home garden, and bamboo personal care that replaces plastic.
Where can I find sustainable corporate gifts in India?
Set Corporate gifting to Yes in Filters to see the stores that take corporate and bulk orders, for employees, clients, weddings and return gifts. Ask each store about minimum order size, custom branding, GST invoices and delivery dates, and allow three to four weeks before a festival.
Do these stores ship eco-friendly gifts outside India?
Some do, and many ship across India. Shipping abroad, duties and delivery times differ by store, so check each store's shipping page or ask before you order. The card links straight to the store. For a gift going overseas, small and light items such as stationery, incense, tea, chocolate and jewellery are the easiest to send.
Can I find eco-friendly gifts under ₹500?
Yes. Each card shows the store's starting price, and the price slider in Filters narrows the page to a budget. Many of these stores start under ₹200, for stationery, incense, candles or small toys.
What makes a gift eco-friendly?
Usually one of three things: it is made from something that would otherwise be thrown away, it is made from natural or plant-based materials, or it is used up, like food, candles or soap. Plastic-free packaging matters too. Each card says what the store makes its products from.
Are eco-friendly gifts more expensive?
Not always. Several stores here start under ₹200 for small gifts such as stationery, incense or toys, and each card shows the starting price. Handmade pieces cost more because they take longer to make.
How does EcoFlyp choose the stores on this page?
The EcoFlyp team reviews every listing before it goes live, from the store's own website: what it sells, what it is made from, where it is based and where it delivers. EcoFlyp does not sell the gifts itself; the button on each card takes you to the store.
