Rakhi Gift Ideas

Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi is a widely celebrated Indian festival. The festival, which falls on the full moon day of Shravan Poornima, is observed to celebrate the bond between brothers and sisters. This festival has some rituals associated with it, which help in strengthening the warm and cordial relationship between brothers and sisters. The sacred thread called Rakhi, which the sister ceremoniously ties on her brother's wrist, signifies the sister's love for her brother. The brother makes a vow in return that he will protect his sister, lifelong. Historically speaking, this festival gained popularity after the Queen of Chittor, Rani Karnavati, sent a Rakhi to the Mughal conqueror Humayun when she needed his help; needless to say that he came rushing to her aid. Gifts, which symbolize the love and care that brothers and sisters have for each other, have great significance in Raksha Bandhan. Read on for exciting Rakhi gift ideas.

Rakhi Gifts For Brothers
Leather Wallets: Have you noticed your brother hiding his hockey-puck like wallet in his pocket? Men are lazy shoppers; they avoid buying or replacing any stuff in spite of its disagreeable condition. Why not get him a classy wallet on this Rakhi celebration? It would definitely be pleasant for him to know the amount of attention his sister pays to him and his needs.

Personalized T-shirts: Do you have some playful moments with your brother on a film? If yes, you can use those photos to craft a personalized gift for your brother. Get him a T-shirt printed with those childhood photos on this Rakshabandhan; he would definitely love your gift.

Trendy Gifts: Is your brother a fashion freak? Does he love trendy accessories? Then there is nothing that you can't gift him from the accessories section. Everything from fancy goggles, perfumes, watches to trendy mobile cases and silver bracelets would do the trick for you on this special occasion.

Games For Kid Brothers: If your brother is quite young, is still either in school or not yet out of the whole gaming age then too you have a world of choices ahead of you. Xbox, Nintendo Gamecube and Sony Playstation etc. are some of the most obvious choices for electronic games.

Rakhi Gifts For Sisters
Jewelry: There is nothing better than a sparkling jewelry piece to flatter women. You may select any material, budget is the only constraint. You can get elegant pieces like earrings, necklaces, rings etc. for your loving sister this year. Fancy jewelry is considerably cheaper than precious metals like silver, gold, platinum etc but has the equal pampering effect. No need to mention that a diamond set would be the most flattering gift for your sister, if your budget allows you for that!

Household Gifts: If your sister has a new home or if she is keen on decorating her home in general then household stuff like paintings, showpieces, crystals etc. would be the best choice. For the latest trends, try picking up things from dedicated interior decoration stores.

Accessories: Just like jewelry, you cannot go wrong with accessories also. Try getting some trendy accessories like hand bags, ethnic jewelry boxes, perfumes, skin care hampers etc and make an impression. It would be better if you have an idea about your sister's tastes; you may ask your lady friend to help you picking up some good stuff for your sister.

Gifts For Kid Sisters: The tastes of little girls are different from youngsters or adults. Young girls would be overwhelmed to receive cute gifts like Barbie dolls, teddy bears, miniature kitchen sets etc. rather than expensive jewelry sets. Chocolate gift boxes are universally awesome for pampering little sisters.

You now have an idea about what to gift your brother/sister. Pick up a nice gift which you think would make your sister/brother happy because this is the day when you can actually show them how much you value them.
