Shubh Diwali: Healthy Diwali Gifts Options

“A Healthy Diwali Is A Happy Diwali”

A Diwali is a festival of beliefs, lights, joy, celebration, delicacies and gifts. So why not make it a festival of transformation and better choices?

Traditional gifts like sweets and many other products like glassware, clothes and ornaments are some of Diwali's preferred options. However, along with wishing health and prosperity to loved ones, it is best to hand over something to contribute to their health and well-being. 

The zeal and enthusiasm in Indians for Diwali are more hyped on Diwali than throughout the year. Directing this optimism and energy of our friends and family to make better decisions and healthier choices is one of the most practical gifts, which will definitely add value to one’s life.

Healthy Diwali Gift Options

1. Healthy Snack Hampers 

Let us replace gifting traditional sweets and calorie-filled snacks with healthy options. There are multiple varieties of snacks made with whole wheat, oats, corn, makhana etc. You can also prepare homemade protein bars and include them in the basket. 

Ensure to avoid foods which contain preservatives, chemicals and unhealthy fat and calories. 

Things to keep in mind while gifting a snack hamper

• Opt for a snack which has no refined flour and sugar.
• The snacks should contain essential nutrients like fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals.
• Make sure to select snacks which are baked, roasted, or popped instead of fried.
• Pick food items which are void of saturated & trans fats. 

This hamper will give them healthy snacks to munch on and promote guilt-free eating. 

2. Dry Fruits Hamper

We are talking about something other than the old and traditional dry fruit boxes we receive from our offices or guests. Dry fruits are not only limited to almonds, cashews, and walnuts.

Now a wide range of dry fruits is readily available, like berry mixes, prunes, kiwi and dry apricots. These are unique, fancy and healthy options to gift on Diwali.  

Also, they serve as sweets containing natural sugar and nutrients that keep you healthy.

3. Indoor Workout Equipment 

People rarely invest in health equipment themselves, but there are rare chances that a person would not make use of such a valuable gift. Therefore, as a motivation, you may choose to gift dumbbells, ropes and many other indoor exercise equipment to your friends, cousins or relatives. 

And the best thing is that several members of the family can utilise it rather than being a personal gift. 

4. Gym Membership Or Healthy Protein Supplement

Win the heart and health of your loved ones. 

What is more excellent than surprising your friend, brother or sister by gifting them a gym membership and motivating them to work out daily for better health?

It is a splendid gift for those who do not follow a routine at home out of laziness. Instead, choose a gym near their residence and a time that suits them. 

Another noble gesture is to give the person homemade protein powder or supplements as per their health goal preference. There are easy recipes to prepare protein powders, weight gain powders and other nutritious natural supplements that can be extremely beneficial.
