Buying gifts for loved ones has become an important part of Diwali celebrations over the years. While traditionally, sweets and fried goods were prepared and shared among friends and family, adding healthy items to your Diwali gift hamper brings a thoughtful, wellness-focused touch to your celebrations.
Dry fruits and nuts have always been popular gifts during Diwali. Almonds, walnuts, and pistachios are nutritious and festive.
Include chia, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds for a protein and fibre boost. These days there are many options of companies that make and sell these seed mixes.
Handmade gifts are always the most precious. Made with oats, nuts, dates, and honey, energy bars made ate home are perfect for a natural treat.
Herbal teas can be a comforting and healthy alternative to sugary drinks during Diwali. Pick from Green tea, chamomile, or tulsi tea bags to add a soothing touch.
Who doesn’t love some chocolate in a festive hamper? Dark chocolates are rich in antioxidants and have less sugar than milk chocolate.
Instead of refined sugars, consider adding natural sweeteners to your hamper. Honey is a delicious natural sweetener that is known for its healing properties and it pairs well with tea or toast.
Spices not only enhance the flavour of food but also have health benefits. Add small jars or pouches of turmeric, cinnamon, and cardamom to your hamper.
