One of the biggest concerns we face is deciding on the return gift we plan to give. We have to take into consideration not only what the kids like but something in our budget too. This time go for something that helps our environment too. This will help the children learn the importance of saving our nature while having fun with it. Here are some eco-friendly return gifts which will not only save your pockets but also nature.

2. Sapling or seeds
If you want to directly increase awareness about saving the environment then nothing is better than gifting the kid sapling or seeds to plant. Inform their mothers in advance about. You could also go for plants which have medicinal value like tulsi, neem or Gotu kola. Avoid giving plants like aloe vera which has thorns. The kids might end up hurting themselves by mishandling it. You could ask the mother to help children take care of the pant and make them understand its importance.
3. Plantable Seed pencil pack
A pencil is a necessary stationery which kids carry with them to school. Once the pencil has reduced in length, it is thrown away, which is a waste of wood.
