11 Thoughtful Personality-Wise Rakhi Gifts For Every Type Of Sister

Gentlemen! Your sister might not ask you for anything, but somewhere within their heart, they expect Rakhi gifts from you. Now, the question is, if you’re going to get them a present, will it be something that gets you a yawn-worthy ‘thank you’ or something that gets you a big, long hug? Here to help you win the Brother-Of-The-Year Award are ten gifts for ten different personalities.

If your sister is someone whose next move is always unpredictable and looks at the world through their own alien perspective, then they will love these mismatched earrings. They're weird enough that they'll like them and trendy enough that they'll match well with a score of outfits. But the respect they will have for your taste in gifting will be unmatched.

Perfect for: The quirky and fun sister!

If your sister is a hardcore music lover with the soul of an old person, gift them something that will transport them to simpler (but mostly musical) times. This turntable is a great gift for anyone who truly appreciates the art, but what would make it even better is if you add a vinyl record of their favourite artist. Lots of indie musicians list those on their websites, so don't forget to do your research.

If they've learnt the art of hitting the nail on the head (and then some) when it comes to making cocktails that taste great and do the job well, there isn't much for you to do, but gift them glasses that would work well for most drinks. We love these Wine Glasses set from Pure Home + Living. But if she's not much of a wine drinker you could also check out these aesthetic ones from Bonhomie, which could be just the vessel for G&Ts, Whiskey Sours, and Margaritas alike. This gift would also be a great way of reminding them to schedule a siblings' night-in soon. Oh and then, pick the best of homegrown whiskey, rum and gin to go with the glasses!

Perfect for: The sister who can hold (and make) a mean drink
