Diwali is the festival of lights, new clothes, sweets, and of course, lots of gifts. It doesn’t matter how old one is, when it comes to gifts, everyone always gets excited.

It is widely known that people always carry a gift as a token of love to enhance the festive vibe. And, while many gifts are bought during Diwali, it can take a toll on the pocket and have an adverse effect on the environment. Here is a list of homemade gifts for Diwali. Take a look:
