The Raksha Bandhan Checklist

The season of showering love on your sibling is here. With Raksha Bandhan celebrations in order, we’re looking forward to the day of intimate get-togethers with the siblings, exchange of gifts and traditional rituals that strengthen the bond. From noteworthy rakhis to thoughtful gifts, here’s a lowdown on the best buys for the sister who is the cynosure of your eyes as well as for the brother who you love so dearly. 

The Rakhi Guide 

The tie that signifies strengthening the brother-sister bond, rakhis is one of the most special things for the celebration. Especially if you’re enduring the bond with your long distant brother. This Raksha Bandhan, select a statement creation for your brother. Amongst a multitude of traditional options, you might like a new-age rakhi bracelet for your sister-in-law and an evil-eye piece for your charming brother. Or simply shower your love and blessing on your brother and sister-in-law with rakhi and lumba sets. To harmonise with the traditional rituals, channel spiritual beliefs with intricate symbol-accented rakhis. Wish to win brownie points from the younger cousins, lookout for artsy pieces with cool phrases.

Rakhi Gift Ideas

Finding the perfect gift for your sibling is no perfect feat. Along with the promise of protecting your sister, pampering her with fashion-forward gifts is going to take the celebrations a notch up. Think of a beautiful bracelet in return for the special rakhi she chose for you. Alternatively, a blingy and delicate pair of earrings will light up her eyes instantly. If you’re looking for something that she’ll cherish forever, an heirloom-worthy ring will reinstate that you’re the brother numero uno.  

If your stylish sister is inclined towards fashionable gifts, you’ll never go wrong with chic accessories. While handbags are a no-brainer, think out of the box and choose a pair of dreamy heels. Besides, a pair of cool kicks will make you an even cooler brother. Or make it even more fun with a chic dress that you think she’ll love flaunting.   

It sounds perfect to hand something special in return to your brother when he presents your gift. A pair of cufflinks or a tie to add to his collectives, cool shirts that he’d like to wear on the next getaway, there’s a plethora of stylish options your brother will like indulging in. Choosing a classic kurta ensemble for him is a perfect payback for the special treatment you receive on this day. 

Celebrations & Indulgence 

If you’re hosting a decadent lunch for your cousins and siblings, a finely decorated spread will make the aura more welcoming. Invest in beautiful platters, savoury stands, appetizer plates to serve your sumptuous Raksha Bandhan feast.

Whether you want them to check off your wishlist or pamper them, Raksha Bandhan gives you ample reasons to indulge in fashion. Nothing like celebrating the bond with memorable gifts, good food and quality time together!
