It’s time again to celebrate the most cherished love-hate relationship with our siblings! From the times of Lord Krishna, tying of the Rakhi, giving & receiving gifts, sweets and love for a lifetime is the essence of Raksha Bandhan!

The Millennials have changed the way of gifting. Here’s a complete modern day guide to Rakhi gifting:

• For the Gadget lovers

  Utilize the online sale days to shop and gift him/her favorite gadget they have been raving about. Smart watches, fitness bands, virtual reality headsets – options galore for you to give a befitting surprise.

• Holiday

  Show some brother-love by gifting her a holiday she wouldn’t even dream about. If you are worried about her safety, there are only-women groups covering interesting destinations across the globe. She won’t thank you enough for this trip of a life time.

• Subscriptions & coupons

  Have a sibling who loves a good movie or is into binge-watching series? Then they would love subscriptions of their favorite shows & movie ticket coupons. Give them a stash to last 6 months & you have earned the tag of best brother/sister in the world.

• Special Lunch/Dinner Dates

  You could take your sister out to a fancy restaurant or better cook a special meal for her at home. Sisters, in turn, could arrange for a special dinner date for their Bhai-Bhabhi. Remember experiences count more than the things!

• Investments

  Though this idea seems odd, the new generation understands financial independence early. You could educate your sibling to start a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) with the gift amount & ask them to take care of the investment further. This will make them a disciplined investor.

Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.
