#11 Rakshabandhan Gift Ideas to Follow This Year

Have you planned what to gift your dearest siblings on the Rakshabandhan this year? It gets challenging to choose that one unique yet special gift, doesn’t it? No worries, here I am giving you some unique Rakshabandhan gift ideas to choose from.

Rakshabandhan Gift Ideas

Let’s dive in:

1- Noise-Canceling Headphones 

With cacophony all around, your brother or sister might need a few moments of peace to contemplate. Why not gift a pair of noise-canceling headphones on Rakshabandhan?

Doing so will be pretty thoughtful, you know. With the headphones plugged in, they can ignore the circus going around for some time and dive deep into the world of music or relaxing shows.

Wait? What? Your sister is a nerd and does not like OTT shows? Relax! She can use them to cut out the background noise while reading her books.  

2- Potted Plants 

Nature’s furious, and there’s global warming showing its fury. What if we start caring about nature and grow houseplants around our house to keep the environment cool?

Ok, we alone can’t bring colossal change, but small steps matter, right? You can choose a potted plant for Rakshabandhan gifts this year. You might select flowering plants like Periwinkle, Orchids, and Milli that can be grown quickly around the room corners.

There are quite a few Succulents that grow soon with significantly less water.  

3- A Journal Notebook with a Fountain Pen 

The next gift idea can be a journal notebook with daily planners and a fountain pen for your brother or sister. You don’t need to care if your sibling is a nerd. A notebook and a pen can become handy if she wants to unwind by writing a few thoughts down.

You might want to team up the journal with an elegant fountain pen with Japanese ink and a pen sleeve made from handmade Turkish leather. A style statement right away, I tell you.

Thank me later!  

4- Jewelry Organizer 

Your sister loves wearing jewelry but messes it up while putting them back in their respective boxes. That is a grave problem, indeed.

You can solve it by gifting her a jewelry organizer this Rakhi. At least you can be at peace that she won’t come running to your room to look for a lost Jhumka or a Bangle before getting ready for an event.

5- Books 

Do your siblings like to read? Do they eat, sleep and breathe books? Why don’t you look for a perfect book as a gift for Rakhi this year?

I understand that it might be a tedious task to select if you are not a booklover yourself.

Let’s think about a safe path. Ask your brother or sister about their best author and search for their recent book releases.

Bingo! You can be more adventurous and sneak into their shelves to find out which titles they don’t have, make a list, and head out for book shopping. Your work is done. 

6- Corner Lamps 

A corner lamp can be a unique gift idea if your house doesn’t have one already. Corner LED Lamps or Silicone stand-alone lamps can add to the aesthetic beauty of any home.

There are many designs available in the outlets – offline and online- to choose from. You can pick corner lamp designs with your sibling’s room or house’s color theme.

Corner lamps also come in the shapes of popular cartoon characters that can be perfect for your cartoon-loving siblings.

7- Digital Photo Frames 

Do you remember last when you looked into your heavy family photo albums? They are so heavy that you can literally do weight training with them.

Instead of those heavy ones, you can have digital photo frames on the shelves to quickly recall memorable events.

You can get a digital photo frame for your sibling on this Rakhi, where your old memories will be treasured dearly.

8- Customized Mugs and Key Rings 

You might have a fussy brother or a sister for whom you cannot decide what to gift. You are left wondering which gift can bring a smile to your sibling’s lips.

In that case, customized mugs and keyrings are old faithful Rakshabandhan gift ideas that can never fail.

No matter how many coffee mugs she has, no matter how many vital rings he has, a customized one from you will always be very special to them. 

9- Pop Sockets 

Pop Sockets are phone grips that help a smartphone get fixed in one place. You can use a pop socket as a phone stand while watching videos or taking selfies.

Your phone’s pop socket can also prevent smartphone damage from accidental falls.  

On this year’s Rakshabandhan, you can choose a pop socket for your sibling as a generous gift. On the plus side, these pop sockets are budget-friendly too!! 

10- Handwoven Fabrics 

When in doubt, go traditional. Nothing beats a well-draped saree and well-woven Kurta on the ethnic-themed days in colleges and workplaces.

You can gift an elegant saree or Kurta from a 100% handicraft store to your brothers and sisters on this Rakhi.

Handcrafted fabrics have a solid color and wash guarantee coming with them. Your purchase can bring smiles back to the weaver families. 

11- A Weekend Travel Package  

How will it be if you and your siblings sneak out for a weekend journey somewhere close by? After all, you deserve some rejuvenation and detoxification amidst nature, right?  

A weekend travel package can be the one of most adventurous Rakhi gift ideas for your that brother or sister who is extremely busy in his/her job.

The weekend outing can refresh your childhood memories of playing pranks on each other, making mischief, or simply laughing your hearts out for no reason.  

Have a wonderful Rakshabandhan celebration, all of you!! Don’t wait. Start planning about which Rakhi gift to buy from these Rakshabandhan gift ideas this year.
