PlantableRakhis: Plantable products have been increasingly popular over the past few years because they significantly reduce the amount of non-biodegradable waste. They are a great way to recycle paper and contribute to reforestation, since it encourages plant growth in our households and beyond. Plantablerakhis are of different types and can serve different purposes. You can buy your brother a simple plantablerakhi made of cotton, with some seeds embedded in them. Some of our plantablerakhis are made of seed paper, which means after the festivities of the day are complete, you can put the paper directly in the soil and soak it, and a few days later a plant will emerge. Some rakhis, like this pearl shell rakhi, can also be disposed in the soil to improve the nutrients for your plants! If you want to go all out, you can also purchase a plantable gift set for your brother, with a rakhi, stationery and other trinkets that are eco-friendly and useful presents!
Upcycled and Cotton Rakhis: Upcycling fabric is a great way of ensuring that we don’t keep adding waste to an already material-heavy world. It makes use of already existing resources and thus, utilises fewer raw materials and keeps unwanted items like plastic out of the environment. We offer a variety of rakhis made of upcycled fabric with a variety of designs. Some designs have beads or cartoon characters that can be reused as a necklace, making it a gift for both your brother and you! If upcycled rakhis are not to your preference, but you would like cotton rakhis, we have a range of hand-crocheted rakhis too! They come in a variety of designs, from superhero themes to cartoon themes, which is one of the best rakhi gift for brother.
