With Raksha Bandhan just around the corner, it’s time to celebrate the one-of-a-kind bond you share with your sibling — filled with childhood fights, inside jokes, and a whole lot of love. Whether you’re near or far this year, the right gift can help express what words sometimes can’t.
This guide is for anyone wondering what should I buy for Raksha Bandhan this year? We’re here to make your Raksha Bandhan shopping simple, thoughtful, and personal — whether you’re looking for a rakhi gift for brother, a surprise for your sister, or just something to make them smile.
What Makes a Great Raksha Bandhan Gift?
The best raksha bandhan gifts are those that feel personal. It’s not about how expensive the gift is — it’s about choosing something that fits your sibling’s personality, lifestyle, and taste. Whether it’s a piece of jewellery they can wear every day, a personalised rakhi, or something symbolic like a gold charm, what matters is the thought behind it.
FOR HIM
The Spiritual Brother
Is your brother the type who finds peace in the mountains or prefers time alone with his thoughts over a party? Maybe he’s the kind who lights incense at home and believes in energies and vibes. For this kind of personality, go for something simple yet meaningful — like a rakhi with a spiritual symbol, like the Om Rudraksh Chain Bracelet or even a gold rakhi that nods to tradition.
These gifts remind him of what grounds him, and that you understand what matters to him.
The Sentimental Brother
This is the brother who never forgets your birthday and still checks in late at night just to see if you got home safe. He’s the first to say yes to family dinners and the last to leave a sibling hug. He needs a gift with emotional value — something like a personalised rakhi, an infinity charm bracelet, or even a simple pendant engraved with a date or word that means something to both of you.
It’s less about the jewellery and more about what it says.
The Savvy Brother
He’s juggling a side hustle, always discovering new music, and somehow still finds time to binge a whole Netflix series before you. This brother is stylish, sharp, and hard to impress. For him, go bold. Think typography rakhis, leather or gold bracelets, or even a jewellery gift for brother like a sleek gold bangle that fits his everyday style.
Make your gift as cool and memorable as he is.
Gifts For Sister
The Fashion-Forward Sister
She’s the one who treats fashion like a language — who talks in earrings and outfits. She follows trends but has her own twist. For her, choose jewellery that’s expressive and modern. You can go with chokers, geometric earrings, Daily Use Gold Chains, or even a Diamond Ring.
She’ll know you put thought into her gift, and she’ll love showing it off.
The Classic Girl
She borrows jewellery from your mom’s collection, knows the story behind every heirloom, and probably has a Pinterest board full of pearls and solitaires. She’s into timeless beauty and quiet luxury. For her, try Diamond Drop Earrings, Gold Bracelet, or a Solitaire Pendant that never goes out of style.
She’ll wear it for years — and think of you every time she does.
The Busy Bee
She’s got a Zoom call at 10, a flight to catch at 4, and still remembers your favorite chocolate. Your sister juggles a lot, but she does it with grace. She’ll love jewellery that’s versatile — something she can wear to work, to dinner, or to relax at home. Think smart Midi Rings, Alphabet Pendant, or Daily Wear Bracelet that keep up with her.
You’re proud of her. Let your gift say that.
