Raksha Bandhan 2024: 20 Thoughtful Gifts For Your Sister

Dear brothers, we know how hard it can be to buy gifts for your sisters. A popular choice among gifting often ends up being sweets, chocolates, or perhaps a phone case. But if you’d like to switch it up this Raksha Bandhan, you’ve come to the right place. Ditch the smartwatch and lifafa-full-of-cash and buy her something more personal.

While I don’t recommend gifting clothes – there could be an issue with the size, colour, or preference – a fail-safe gifting idea would be accessories. One can style accessories with myriad outfits to add some oomph to their look. Plus, there are no colour or size restrictions, making accessories a foolproof gifting item!

Here’s a list of accessories to pick from for your sister this Raksha Bandhan.

Bags

Women need their bags, no matter how big or small, festive or formal, but something to store their phone, cards, and most importantly their lip gloss and hand sanitiser in. You can’t go wrong with a bag, as it can be styled with umpteen outfits and neutral colours like black, white, blue, and beige pair well with a bunch of looks. Here’s a list of our recommendations; from Western to Indo-Western, there’s an option for every event.

Watches

Presenting yet another accessory you just can’t go wrong with. Your sister may own a smartwatch, but the elegance and suave of a good old-fashioned analogue watch cannot be matched. Analogue and mechanical watches exemplify sophistication. Opt for a watch for your sister if she is old-school, simple, or always just fashionable late (JK). Here’s a list of watches that will elevate her ’fit and add a touch of grace to her wrist.

Earrings

A pair of statement earrings will help you stand out from the crowd if you’re one of several brothers. Pick a maximalist number if your sister is bold, uber-fashionable, and a trendsetter, and can pull off vibrant colours and patterns. Alternatively, choose a dainty pair of earrings if your sister likes minimal and aesthetically pleasing things. Here’s our recommendation for cute and adorable earrings you can give this Rakhi season.
