Making Raksha Bandhan special for your sibling with the right gift

Gone are the days when gifting your sibling on Raksha Bandhan meant handing over money in an envelope. Given the innumerable options available today, you can make your gift a meaningful and unforgettable one. Show affection and appreciation for your sibling by choosing the perfect gift. Here are some options to choose from.

Tips to make this Raksha Bandhan special for your sibling

1. Thoughtful gifts

These days, gift companies offer various options such as personalised caricatures, and bobbleheads in the likeness of your loved ones and personalised storybooks featuring your loved ones. These are perfect for recreating precious moments from your life.
You can choose to gift the right to name a star after your sibling if they are into astronomy.
If your sibling is a voracious reader, you can present them with the first editions of their favourite book or an e-reader.
If your siblings are cinephiles, you can gift them original movie posters to hang in their rooms.
If your sibling is a cricket fan, you can gift them a season ticket for their favourite IPL team.
If your sibling is into arts and crafts, you should consider giving a voucher for art supplies.

2. Plan a surprise getaway

With the monsoon in its full glory, hill stations are the ideal getaway spots for a short weekend. At the same time, beaches and rainforests can figure in your list of destinations.

You can enjoy a houseboat stay in Kumarakom, explore wildlife in Mount Abu, visit the Eastern and Western groups of temples at Khajuraho, take a walk along the tea plantations at Munnar, take a trip to Bhagsunag waterfalls at Dharamsala, or go scuba diving in Andaman.

However, it can put a dent in your savings if you pay for a surprise getaway upfront. If you take out a Personal Loan for this purpose and repay through EMIs, you can manage your budget easily. You can use our personal loan EMI calculator to know exactly how much you will have to repay every month.

3. Organise a family reunion

The simplest and the most valuable gift you can give a person is your company. An enhanced version of this gift would be bringing the whole gang together. Raksha Bandhan is a great excuse to bring all family members together and celebrate. You can organise travelling expenses for your family through a Personal Loan if need be.

4. Personalised experiences

No one knows your sibling better than you. Especially not the dry, store-bought Raksha Bandhan cards.

Instead, consider gifting them a personalised spa experience or a resort gift card. These days, you can also present things like knitting kits and guitar classes. A gift that shows you pay attention to your sibling's needs and interests is bound to go a long way.

5. Home makeover

If your sibling is currently away from home to pursue their studies, you can surprise them with a home makeover. You can tidy up their room, redo the paint job, and install the newest appliances in their room as a gift. Here too, a Personal Loan at Axis Bank can come in handy, as there are no restrictions on how you use these loans.

6. Invest in their aspirations

Various pursuits such as becoming a graphic designer, a photographer, or a software developer will require investments in the form of cameras, lighting equipment, desktop computers, laptops, etc. Such gifts can help support your sibling’s aspirations. Keep in mind though, laptops and cameras might be expensive.
