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

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.

Perfect for: A sister who loves music

If your sister is obsessed with hitting the gym, they would agree that you can never have enough when it comes to workout wear. This comfortable set from Kica is the perfect choice since it would work well for fitness activities ranging from yoga and pilates to strength training and jogging. No matter what kind of workout they like, this gift will become a solid staple in their collection of gym fits!

Perfect for: Fitness freak sister 

Pro-Tip: Need more inspiration? We've got more cute workout fit options right here.

If your sister is someone who loves to paint and sketch, gift them this handy set of palette knives from Itsy Bitsy. Not only will it iterate your appreciation for their skill, but it will also nudge them to create more art and potentially learn a new form of painting using these knives. Make it a complete kit by including this set of acrylic paints as well.

Perfect for: The artsy sister

If your sister is someone who would pick existing in a virtual world any day over our mundane reality, pick this VR headset from Samsung for them. Not only would they love adding a new gizmo to their collection, but they would also appreciate having a new and up-close gaming and watching experience. We know this one is priced a bit steep, but hey, Rakhi only comes by once a year! If she needs earphones, this list will sort you out! 

Perfect for: The technophile sister

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

If your sister is constantly on a climate anxiety spiral, chances are, they let go of their morning coffee run many a time to avoid adding a single-use coffee cup to the landfills. Gift them the perfect portable and reusable coffee mug by Eco Trendy that is light and sturdy so they can hop into their favourite cafe and simply get it filled up with their favourite bean juice! If she needs more inspiration, here is some —Suta's founders tell us about eco-friendly brands they love. 

Perfect for: The sister who is passionate about the world and living sustainably, aka the eco-warrior

Pro-Tip: If she loves to make coffee at home, gift her a stainless steel tumbler that will last her a lifetime. Something similar to a Stanley Cup—and guess what? We have its budget-friendly dupes! 

Well, if you can always find your sister's head buried in a book, having the best time just reading away, then this Kindle would be the best present for her, making hundreds of books available at all times. It has a seven-inch screen, adjustable display, and eight GB memory with a battery that lasts up to ten weeks.

Perfect for: The bookworm

Pro-Tip: Planning to shop a few titles for her, too? We've got SO many recommendations. Here are 26 best novels and 16 quick summer reads to begin with.

If your sister is always caught spending way too much money on the latest skincare finds, you know nothing would make her happier than receiving more of them. We recommend Laneige's Icons Go To Set, which includes all their hot sellers, like their water sleeping mask, cream skin refiner, and water bank moisture cream. These are our tried-and-tested products, and we have a full guarantee that they would make for a great present. 

Perfect for: Skincare enthusiast

If your sister is always catching flights and embarking on numerous adventures, this travel organiser is the gift you know would be most useful. Compact yet super spacious, this travel organiser from DailyObjects comes in super fun colours and is made with fleet-durable canvas and two full-disclosure apartments. We also love this brand's tech organisers to organise a zillion wires in your purse. 

Perfect for: A sister who's always travelling or just likes to keep things super organised

If your sister is a saree enthusiast, and can always be spotted appreciating and collecting one-of-a-kind heirloom pieces that represent tradition, heritage, and the finest Indian craftsmanship, then an artisanal saree or a suit set would be the perfect present for her. We recommend checking out WeaverStory, which makes the most beautiful Indian wear and is the perfect combination of traditional and exquisite craftsmanship, and this ivory saree with grey and pink flower motif is our absolute favourite.

Perfect For: A fashionista sister who collects artisanal heirlooms.
