Raksha Bandhan, a festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters, is characterised by traditions and heartfelt celebrations. While rakhis and sweets are the essence of the festival, another important custom is giving gifts to siblings.
If you have still not bought a gift for your brother or sister to celebrate your bond on this special occasion, or are just looking for ideas to surprise your sibling beyond the festival, here are some ideas you can explore depending on your sibling’s interests and personality.
For the traveller
Travel journal/polaroid camera: One of the most meaningful gifts you can give to people who love travelling is a way to capture memories from their journeys. Both a travel journal and a polaroid camera can help accomplish that.
Travel gear: If your sibling is a trekking enthusiast, you can gift them a backpack or trekking shoes. If they prioritise comfort on their journeys, a travel pillow can be a thoughtful and useful gift.
Surprise trip: What better way to surprise a traveller than gift them a trip? Whether it is buying a flight ticket for your sibling or planning a trip together, this is not only a thoughtful gift but can also prove to be a memorable experience.
For the wellness and fitness lover
Gym/fitness class membership: Is your sibling a fitness enthusiast? Have they been meaning to join a gym or a fitness class but haven’t been able to, due to procrastination or other reasons? Surprise them with a gym membership, or register them for yoga, Zumba or other fitness classes to help them embark on this journey and fulfill their goals.
Wellness hamper: Curate a thoughtful wellness hamper for your sibling, including self-care products like skincare and haircare essentials, healthy snacks, scented candles, etc. You can also include self-help books if your sibling derives motivation from them.
Healthy homemade treats: If your sibling is health-conscious, go the extra mile to cook or bake some healthy delicacies for them. This is not only a thoughtful gift but also a meaningful gesture.
For the fashion enthusiast
Jewellery and accessories: When it comes to fashion-related gifts, the possibilities are endless. From exquisite earrings and trendy handbags, to sunglasses and watches, you can choose from a wide variety of options. You can also get accessories customised with your sibling’s name’s initials.
DIY apparel: If you are a fashion design enthusiast, why not take the effort to create something special for your sibling? Whether it is hand-painting a design or quote on a plain T-shirt or upcycling old clothes into something stylish for them, you can surprise them with a handcrafted gift by putting your skills to use.
For the tech geek
Smartphone: Depending on your budget, you can surprise your sibling with a new smartphone. However, since this is an important device, it is essential to know their preferences and the essential features they need in their mobile phone.
Gadgets: If your siblings are interested in latest technology and devices, the best idea is to gift them a gadget they need, or have been meaning to buy. This could be a smartwatch, headphones, speakers, etc.
Laptop stand/sleeve: This is one of the most underrated yet useful tech-related gifts that one can give their siblings. Most people who frequently use laptops also use a laptop stand for comfort and a laptop sleeve to protect the device.
For the bookworm or creative sibling
Favourite book: If your sibling loves reading, gift them a book from their favourite genre or author.
Customised T-shirt with quotes: Another interesting gift that you can explore is a T-shirt customised with their favourite quote from books.
Stationery supplies: Is your sibling an artist, or loves writing? Gift them a stationery kit with essentials like notepad and pens, but also other items like sticky notes, planners, colour pens, etc.
