Often I get asked what should be the ideal gift for young children or teenagers. And I always answer in the same tone that they’ve nothing left which they need. Nowadays children have even more than what they want. Books and reading are so personalised until you know the taste of the other person else it’s a waste. Also, kindle has opened with so many variations to read books as per convenience. I’m not denying that one shouldn’t give a gift or not always possible to ask the receiver. So what should I do in such conditions?

Whenever I think of children’s birthday gifts the only thing which haunts me is the usage of plastic in most of the affordable gift range. I believe that budget constraint depends on individual choice and not to impress someone. But what could be the options when it comes to budget-friendly and sustainable gifting ideas? Do our children understand that they don’t need everything available to sell? OR they are made aware that they should focus on buying things which are sustainable and not one-time use and throw types. And best to avoid plastics if possible.

Until you consciously make some efforts and make them understand about the need and environment they won’t take it seriously or try to follow. Zoomin is one of those websites which would help you sort out this type of confusion of gifting to the people you love and care for. Though they have bundles of options for young kids every single thing can be used by elders too. Personalised gifts are quite in demand. Something which is being made personal by embossing their name to get the special feel.

These are the few products I’ve ordered from Zoomin. A well-made planner for the year 2024, Personalised diary, Paper clips, And personalised pouch. All these are eco-friendly products and sustainable as compared to the plastic segment. The pouch is made up of jute which is again washable and can be used to keep anything, anytime. These fancy paper clips come in multiple colours to add aesthetics and be pleasing to the eyes.

Other than the basic stationery I’ve also ordered one jute bag which can be put to fold and can be used to carry bigger stuff. It’s not made up of artificial fabric but pure jute cotton mix to better understand the planet and how we can make things eco-friendly. We humans have produced enough plastic and not its not even getting recycled properly. With the current situation, it becomes evident that we cut down our plastic usage for stationery and other gift items.
