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 from ten home-grown brands, for ten different personalities. Check it out!
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.
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 your sister is obsessed with hitting the gym, they would agree that you can never have enough when it comes to workout wear. These comfortable joggers from Kica are the perfect choice, since they 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!

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, 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.
If your sister is someone who would pick existing in a virtual world any day over our mundane reality, pick this pair of VR headset from Samsung for them. Not only would they love adding a new gizmo to their collection, they will 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!
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 to gift them glasses that would work well for most drinks. We love these Wine Tumbler Glasses set from Goodhomes, which would be just the vessel for wine, or even 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.
Then, pick the best of homegrown whiskey, rum and gin to go with the glasses!
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 in to their favourite cafe, and simply get it filled up with their favourite bean-juice!
If she needs more inspiration then here is some! The founders of Suta tell us eco-friendly brands they love.
