I, for one, make it a point to keep sending links of things I want to my brother to serve as a reminder. After all, I am always the one buying some amazing rakhi gift for brother.

Rakhi Gifts For Elder Sister
Being the elder sibling is no piece of cake! Or so I have been told. She is bossy but also the responsible one. She is a pain but also protective. On some days, she’s your best friend; you can cry, laugh, share your deepest secrets with her and she’s also your second mom. It can be a task to find the perfect rakhi gift for your elder sister because they are impossible to buy for. Well, not anymore.

I like to spend big bucks on accessories and shoes because they last longer and can be styled multiway, unlike clothes. I suggest this silk scarf by Coach which is big on the monogram trend and comes in a versatile colour.
Rakhi Gifts For Younger Sister
There’s nothing better than having a younger sister. Case in point: myself. She can be your personal cheerleader and also your biggest critic. On some days, you can’t breathe in each other’s presence because, well, she is just so annoying. On the others, she would give up everything, absolutely everything, just to see your face solely because she looks up to you. Here are some rakhi gifts for your younger sister that I, as one, would love to receive!
Not Just Any Dress, A Zara Dress
There’s nothing that a Zara dress can’t do. This one in a bright red colour featuring ruched details and cute ruffle trims will light up her day and, by extension, yours.
Cool Pool Slides
Pool slides are like summer in your feet. And with all that’s going on courtesy coronavirus, she’ll appreciate you bringing summer to her with these easy-breezy and peachy pool slides. The statement-making print motif will just make her day(s).

Looking for a personalised rakhi gift for your sister? The thing that’s better than a piece of jewellery is one that’s personalised! Get her a personalised necklace with her name on this 18K gold-plated pendant and if she’s a SATC fan, prepare for her loud screams of gratitude.
Say It With Slogan Tees
A younger sister is nothing if not a little bit of a rebel. Trust me, I know! So, naturally, this T-shirt combo is perfect (read full of sass, just like her). Whether you want the world to know that you need space or own your love for drama—this slogan tee combo has got you covered stylishly.
A Bath & Body Gift Set
Cute packaging and heavenly smelling stuff is almost every girl’s weakness. That’s where this luxurious bath and body gift set by Forest Essentials comes in.
A Colourful Instant Camera
If your sister is a bit of a shutterbug or a self-proclaimed influencer, you don’t have to think twice before giving her this cool and colourful Instax Mini by Fujifilm. This latest version is on discount these days so order it before it goes out of stock.
Luxe Mini For The Li’l One
I would die if my brother gave me this sleek bottle of Chopard perfume! Not only is the scent lemony fresh a good-mood guarantor, but this is EPD which means long-lasting (and luxurious) happiness. Who doesn’t want that!
Rakhi Gifts For Married Sisters
Then there are sisters who are married. No matter how well you know her or if she knows you more than you know yourself, her preferences have probably changed after getting married. But one thing that hasn’t changed is how much you miss each other, probably now more than ever. So, how about a gift that will say just that? Here’s our list of rakhi gifts for married sisters:
A Suit She’d Love To Wear Everywhere
Suits are the Indian attire that have a universal look and feel. They are effortless, breezy, plus you can wear them at home, to work, to a casual outing and where not. This orange kurta and palazzo set with a green scarf by Ritu Kumar is ‘it’. Every woman needs a suit like this in her closet.
A Saree For Special Occasions
With Raksha Bandhan, the festive season is officially in the offing. We may be bound by coronavirus restrictions at the moment but celebrations aren’t. So, here’s a Lucknowi embroidered saree in a lovely lavender colour that’s lightweight yet looks festive. Perfect!
A Diamond Nose Pin
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend but after this piece of jewellery, it will be you. This 14K gold nose pin with four diamonds in the stud will make for an elegant rakhi gift for your sister and be easy on your pocket too.
A Fancy Beauty Basket
Give her the gift of glow. The combo by POPxo is the secret to that lit-from-within glow. Cleanse with the Egyptian Rose & Honey Face Wash, slather on the Honey Oat Milk & Clay Face Pack for a fresh and natural glow, and moisturise with the White Lotus Face Crème. Because, you know, glowy skin is always in!
Makeup For The Beauty Junkie
An eyeshadow palette is a must-have in a married woman’s vanity and this one by Manish Malhotra for MyGlamm will be a compliment machine. This award-winning makeup product consists of nine shades in smoky mattes, creamy metallics, and foil finishes, suitable for all occasions. We love!
A Jade Roller FTW
An unusual suggestion but that’s what makes it so special. A jade roller is an ancient Chinese tool that is just the rakhi gift for married sisters. The goodness of natural jade stone helps keep the skin looking and feeling fabulous, reduces facial tension, and is an excellent massager to soothe self. You should get her a jade roller anyway!
A Rose Gold Wristwatch
Named after a quiet street in New York City’s West Village, the Coach Perry watch is a traditional round watch perfect for every day. And the carnation design featuring a sparkly glitter-accented crystal and metallic leather strap makes it a hit, courtesy the rose gold.
