Diwali gifting doesn’t have to mean mindless hampers and glittery boxes that end up gathering dust. This year, how about gifting something that’s great for your loved ones and for the planet? From feel-good fragrances to lush skincare and soothing teas, we’ve rounded up thoughtful, sustainable gifts that are big on beauty and even bigger on heart. These are the kind of presents that say, ’I care,’ without shouting it from the rooftops.
