A complete guide to what you can possibly gift this Raksha Bandhan.

Picking up a fight with your sibling is way easier than picking a gift for them. Come Raksha Bandhan and we all find ourselves in the same dilemma. Trying to escape giving too much thought & time into what to gift, we readily go for the usual options found at a nearby gift shop, or Google a few good deals & best rakhi gifts. So, if you are finding a rakhi gift for your brother the options are usually:
- Wrist Watch — Since that’s one of the accessories guys easily carry ;)
- Mug — Ok since it’s your brother, maybe a beer mug
- Wallet — After all that’s the place where all the funds come from, so it’s like an investment
- Coasters — If he is really particular about using then at home or work
- Phone cover — You know how he loves his phone, a cover for it with his favourite character from a series, or an artists would be simple to find
- iPad/Tab cover — To keep safe the one thing that keeps him calm and glued to one place
- T-shirt — A customized one with a witty quote
- Chocolates — That’s old school, but a little pack of his favourite ones would add more sweetness to the day and the bonding as well
- Personalized rakhi — Make it belong to him
- Perfume — A good fragrance for his everyday use
Come to think of rakhi gifts for your sister, the list stays somewhat similar to all the generic gifts above, with a few girlie twists. And yes, since women have several things that they adorn and adore, some more usual rakhi gift ideas for your sister can be:

- Jewellery — Real or imitation, you can tell what your sister loves and what will put her cloud nine
- Stuff Toys — Young or old, some never grow over their love for puffy companions
