Eco-friendly cheer: Sustainable Christmas gifts to celebrate the season

Embrace sustainable Christmas decor with handcrafted pieces from Sankalpa Art Village, Vinita Saraogi, and Lattooland for a festive touch.

As the holiday season approaches, embracing sustainable Christmas decor offers a unique way to celebrate with creativity, warmth, and a touch of Nature. Here are some enterprises that are offering thoughtful Christmas decor.

Celebrate the season with handcrafted wooden snowmen and tree accents by Sankalpa Art Village (SAV). The pieces bring a rustic, earthy vibe. Use them as table centrepieces, for Christmas tree decor or to adorn your shelves. SAV’s Christmas collection gives a tropical twist to the Christmas table with coconut shell cups, spoons and forks, blending functionality with a natural charm. Among their other festive offerings is a dining setup with handmade napkins featuring delicate hand embroidery. Designs like mistletoe, holly, or snowflakes reflect the festive spirit while supporting artisan communities. The Christmas offering also contains a coffee table runner, two coasters, adorned with minimalist designs.

Vinita Saraogi’s embroidered hoops with Christmas patterns make for versatile and sustainable wall hangings. These dainty pieces can be used to decorate doors, windows, or even the Christmas tree. Opt for patterns like wreaths, stars, or bells, created using natural or recycled yarns. “Four inch hoops can be used as ornaments on the tree with a jute twine that comes along with it. It is versatile. I am customising it as a fridge magnet,” says Vinita, who runs an Instagram page Oonishq.

Lattooland’s Christmas play tray decoration set offers a fun activity for kids where they can decorate trays with gingerbread man, Christmas tree and balls with dough and sensory fillers like coloured rice and chickpeas. Among the other Christmas offerings are the snowman dough pads and non-toxic play dough jars. The reusable pads and jars can be enjoyed after the festive season as well. One of Lattooland’s popular products is the snowman wonderland kit where children can create a miniature winter wonderland with a wooden Santa, reindeer, and ‘snow-covered’ trees. “This interactive set doubles as decor and a playtime activity for children, while emphasising the concept of sustainability,” says Khushboo Saraf, founder of Lattooland.
