Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is a festival of celebrating your sibling at least once in the year. So, this year show them that you cherish them with meaningful gifts. They love you nonetheless, but a little gift never hurt anybody. We have prepared a list of gifts for him and her, and you can go through them for an insight into applaudable gifting options.
5 gifts for him:
1. Eco-friendly Rakhi
If there is one favour you can do for the environment is set an example. Gift your brother a token of love and care with these handmade rakhis which he can plant later.
2. Manbox from MensXP
Do not buy the whole “men don’t care about grooming” shit. They love to have their hair, beard, and skin prim and proper too. So here’s the solution–a grooming kit that caters to all your skincare and beard needs. The kit includes a body perfume, beard shampoo and conditioner, face wash, scrub and mask, sunscreen and anti-ageing cream, body scrub, trimmer, hair gel, and a lip balm at a throwaway price of Rs 899!
Buy it here.
3. Self-curated hampers
There is nothing easier and fancier than a self-curated gift box that is available at the click of a button. All you have to do is go to Amazon (or any other onlineshopping portal) and add to cart what is best suited to your brother. You can order sheet masks off Nykaa, cookies and edibles off Amazon, a T-shirt from Koovs, and throw it all on a basket and you’re ready to gift. Do not forget to put a bow on it.
4. Self-care package
A good routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising is for all. Gift a kit of ProActive or any other set to your beloved sibling and show them that it is okay for them to care about their skin too.
5. Workwear essentials
Ties, socks, cufflinks, wallets, pocket kerchiefs and other such essentials never go out of fashion. These workwear essentials also double up as great formal outing accessories and add an extra bit of flair to mundane male outfits.
5 gifts for her:
1. Cash
The undeniable source of joy for a sister (or anybody on this planet). Do not think too much if you’re unsure. Just pull out a wad of cash and let them choose for themselves. You do not know what they really want, because sometimes they don’t know either.
2. Sephora gift card
Makeup, beauty products, and skincare essentials are our weakness. They are expensive too. So a little help here with a good Sephora gift card will solve half your sister’s beauty-related problems.
3. Accessories
Jewellery is a great gift–period. You can choose from trendy seashell and evil eye jewellery to some good old traditional jewellery. Your sister will thank you for your taste, even though we recommended it first!
4. Sari
Saris are for keeps. You can gift her a sari today and she will be wearing it for the next 10 years. Looking at the season you can buy her a good yet reasonable mulmul sari:
Or a nice formal silk organza sari:
5. Salon and spa voucher
This is a no-brainer. Your sister might be spending a lot of her money on manicures, pedicures, spas, facials, waxing, blow-dry, and much more. So why not make it easy for her and get her vouchers for her favourite salon.
