Raksha Bandhan is just around the corner, which means it is the season to spoil and get spoiled. To celebrate the occasion, sisters tie their brother an amulet, popularly known as ‘Rakhi’, to symbolise their strong sibling bond, and are showered with gifts in return. As we inch closer to the occasion this year, shopping for the perfect gift might be on top of everyone’s list!
As much as I love surprises, when it comes to brothers, picking out the best gift year after year can be challenging. Which is why I am here attempting to make the annual ordeal a bit easier for all the brothers out there. From dainty jewellery to statement bags and more, below is a list of all things on my Rakhi wish list that your sisters will love too.
Delicate Jewellery from Outhouse
If your sister is a lover of classic pieces, consider a season-less piece of jewellery like a dainty necklace, a ring or a pair of contemporary earrings. My personal favourite is the evil eye range from Outhouse that is as lightweight as it is style-forward and can be worn to practically any occasion.
Structured Bags from Perona
Surprise your sister with a timeless piece, like handbags from Perona. A perfect pick for those on the go, these bags work well for the office and beyond. And what’s the best part is that you can now personalize it by getting your sister’s name monogrammed on it.
Midi Dresses from Saaksha & Kinni
Dresses may not be the most giftable items, but I am a sucker for them and trust me your sister will love it too. Saaksha & Kinni’s range of versatile and stylish dresses can be worn in multiple ways and for different occasions. Plus, the brand’s commitment to highlighting traditional motifs and Indian prints on micro-pleated contemporary silhouettes makes their collections all the more desirable.
Scented Candles from Ritu Kumar
Picking out the perfect rakhi gift for your siblings is no easy feat. And while you may think that nothing will ever seem to be good enough for your sister, a scented candle from Ritu Kumar may just do the trick. Fragrances ranging from Mogra and Jasmine to Ikkat Crimson and Apple Cinnamon, this brand offers a world of aromas to choose from.
Designer Rakhis for Your Brothers
While I am here highlighting the gifts on my Rakhi wish list, I couldn’t help myself eyeing the stunning collections of designer rakhis online. From sleek designs to pieces with intricate work details, here are some of my personal favourites.
