Bhai Dooj celebrates the special bond that siblings share. They may be at odds with each other and get into petty fights and quarrels, but what overrides every stumbling block is the love they share and the support they lend each other in good times and bad.

This year, Bhai Doojis on October 23, and with little time left, here are some gift ideas that might come in handy if you haven’t had the chance to think of one yet.

Last-minute gifts for sister

• Artisanal chocolates: You can never go wrong with chocolates, but make them special by opting for ones that are made specifically to cater to her taste and preferences. Choose flavours she enjoys and pair them with a handwritten note for a personal touch.

• Fragrance hamper: If your sister loves a good fragrance, go beyond gifting her a perfume set and give her scented candles or reed diffuser sets that will bring alive her personal space, whether it’s her room or bathroom. She’ll be obsessed with them for months to come.

• Journals and planners: Go thoughtful by helping your sister prioritise and plan her days and pen her thoughts by gifting her planners and journals. They can be bought online or from stationery stores if you don’t have the time.

• Gift cards: If you don’t have time, buying an online gift card is the safest, most convenient, and most flexible option. Whether it’s from e-commerce websites or a particular store she loves, it gives her the freedom to pick what she likes. This can also be gifted to brothers.

• Tech accessories: If your brother loves gadgets, tech accessories are surely going to delight him. There’s a range of options in the market, including wireless earbuds, a laptop bag, or even a smartwatch. These accessories are going to switch things up for your sibling, even if you’re planning to gift them to your sister.
