3. Plantable Diwali Cards
How about a card that blooms into a plant after the festival? Sounds exciting, right? Plantable Diwali cards are the new rage, and for good reason. Made from seed paper, these cards are a meaningful way to send your wishes while contributing to a greener planet. Just plant the card in the soil after Diwali and watch it grow into herbs or flowers!
