Raksha Bandhan, or Rakhi, is an auspicious festival celebrated with great zeal throughout the country. Picking up gifts is indeed an arduous task and often seems as if everybody you know has everything you would think of giving them. What in the world do people want? In the following article, we have attempted to pick out what we feel are tried and tested ideas with love to keep you guarded while choosing rakhi gifts for your sister.
Beauty lies skin deep
Beauty lovers are abundant and anything related to beauty can never go wrong. There is a huge selection of make-up and skincare products available in markets or online stores. In case you are somebody who is not aware of which products to pick up, you may go for combo packs as rakhi gifts for sister that have two or more products thrown in together. These are hassle-free and rest assured; they have been pre-packed keeping in mind the end-users.
The gift of rarity
Whether it is for your sister, girlfriend, wife, mother, or any other women in your life for that matter, the next gift-option will surely be a bull’s eye. This Raksha Bandhan surprise your sister with a personalized gold or diamond-studded ornament engraved with her initials. It may be a cute little pendant, a pair of earrings or a sleek bangle. As they say, diamonds are forever, and so is the love for your precious little sister. In case you are not confident about your selection of a design, just take her along and have her choose it herself!
Say it with chocolates
We have never come across anybody who has had an aversion towards chocolates, have we? A big box of luscious chocolates will be enough to bring a bright smile to your sister’s face this Rakhi. You may pick it up from a store near you or buy it online from a vast range available. This pre-packed love will make your bond even deeper with every bite. Just don’t forget to pick up another box for yourself since there's no point in expecting her to share her box with you.
Flower power
Are you running late and don’t have the time to pick up a gift? Don’t worry, flowers will save the day! Just pick up a nice bouquet of fresh flowers for your sister along with a Rakhi greeting card followed by her favourite actor’s movie in the theatre and an amazing lunch or dinner in her favourite restaurant. However, we still recommend that you tell your sister that her Rakhi gift is on its way if you wish to avoid a tiff with her.
Picture speaks a thousand words
Often we come across this phrase but now is the time to exhibit your love towards your sister through pictures. This would take up a little bit of your time and effort, but we promise, at the end of it all the joy that both you and your sister experience will remain a lifetime. Collect photographs of both of you growing up, from childhood to the present time, create a sequencing pattern and make a collage. Visit the nearest photo-frame-maker and get this collage framed. Trust us; this will definitely make your sister emotional and that moment will remain in your memories for a lifetime.
It is not the materialistic things that matter more in life, yet we must make sure to understand our loved one’s needs and gift their favourites to them as a token of our love and affection. This Rakhi, may your bond with your sister grow even stronger!
