Things to gift your sister this Raksha Bandhan

Are you looking for some innovative last-minute, gift ideas for your sister? Read along because I’ve got you covered. Here are a few things to gift your sister, this Raksha Bandhan.

Order a gift from Soap Square

During the lockdown, I stumbled upon this local Indian brand named Soap Square. Founded by Mahima Dissoria and her mother, SP specializes in luxurious handmade soaps. The products are skin-friendly and non-toxic, making it a good Raksha Bandhan gift. I have my eyes on the 7 Herbs Ayurvedic Hair Oil and 100% Natural Vitamin E Oil. You can choose from their range of soap bars, essential oils, body scrubs, etc. And if confused, choose from their curated gift sets.

Send her a Saree

Although afraid of wearing sarees, I love the look of a saree on a person. The garment is elegance mixed with fashion and a bold statement, all in one. Over the years, I’ve been following a few saree designers. But this Raksha Bandhan I would suggest to gift your sister a saree from Suta. The people behind Suta are two sisters, Sujata and Taniya (Su and Ta). They make sarees in beautiful shades and range from INR 1300 onwards up to INR 12,000. Visit their website and see for yourself.

Have you ever thought of an eyebrow trimmer?

Yes, you read this one right! During the lockdown, we women have been facing issues in fixing those bushes on our faces. If like me, your sister also visits a salon twice a month, you should get her an eyebrow trimmer to solve this problem. This gift is a thoughtful and longlasting one. You can buy the only available eyebrow trimmer from Nykaa here.

Invest in Mutual funds

We’re in a situation where life is unpredictable. Although a rare thought, it’s a great idea to gift your sister a mutual fund this Raksha Bandhan. Ideally, plan investment for a minimum of 3 years or a maximum of 5 years for higher returns on investment. If you do so, let me know your sisters’ reaction and thoughts.

Hobby Items

I’m sure most of us have tried to pick up some hobby or skill during the last 4 months. If you’ve been attentive, you can buy her items related to her newfound hobby or invest in things that she could make into a hobby. What say?

Gift a grove of trees

This one is my personal favorite. Nicobar in association with Grow Trees Foundation has started ‘Gift a Grove of Trees’ initiative. When you gift a grove of trees in someone’s name, it will help restore the habitat of the Royal Bengal Tigers in Sunderbans. You can gift your sister a grove of either 10 trees for INR 850 or 15 trees for INR 1275. In return, your sister will receive a certificate and the tree coordinates. Isn’t this a great gift to your sister for Raksha Bandhan?
