We all know Rakhi as the festival where the sister ties a Rakhi onto her brother’s right hand as a symbolic gesture of love and protection for all of eternity. But what gets glossed over quite a bit is the fact that brothers too are obligated to give their sisters gifts on this auspicious occasion. So, in the interest of covering this aspect of the festival as well, I decided to curate a list of gifts that will surely make your sister smile! All gifts mentioned below can be bought from online Rakhi stores or or other e-commerce storesscattered across the internet.
1. Charm Bracelets - Charm bracelets have been used as a gift for centuries now and are easily one of the first gifts that come to mind for loved ones. This is because these bracelets can be customized with her initials or with a photo of the two of you together. Which is what makes them great gifts for your sister on Rakhi too. All you have to do is find an attractive bracelet and give it a personal touch keeping in mind the bond between you and your sister.
2. Plants – Plants are extremely thoughtful gifts on their own. This is mainly to do with the fact that in a world as polluted as ours, plants offer more than just a calming presence. They offer a natural cleansing of the air that no other products can give you. Not even air purifiers… So, gift a plant to your sister for her to keep within her room as it will not only offer peace but will also cleanse the air around.
3. Perfumes – The only reasons perfumes have made this list is because they are a fail proof way to make your sister happy. Afterall, everyone loves the aroma of a good perfume and it’s something that’s used quite a bit. So, find out what your sister is more inclined to in terms of perfume brands and aromas to get her exactly what she wants.
4. Handbags – Another fail proof gift that is bound to make most women smile. Handbags are not only used as accessories but are extremely functional as well. So do your own low-key research and find out what brands, styles and colours your sister likes. Getting her a bag from her favourite designer is bound to put a smile on her face.
5. Money – Yes, I know what you’re thinking… “that’s not creative at all!”. You’d be right. However, if you really don’t know what to give your sister and you don’t have the time, money can always be given as a gift so that she can then get herself exactly what she wants. That being said, I would strongly advise adding a personal touch to this gesture. As without it, you would seem a bit lazy.
So, start researching about what your sister likes and dislikes. If you can’t work that bit out, just use the above ideas as they will surely do the job. But remember, a gift is just a gesture. What really counts is the authenticity of your love and affection. So, don’t forget to show your sister some love!
