It is that time of the year again. Raksha Bandhan is knocking right at the corner. As a dutiful sibling, you need to pay close attention to the viable gift options.
There is no dubiety that clothing and apparel make great online rakhi gifts for brother and sister. But, what are the easiest apparel gifts to buy, and which ones should you consider avoiding? Here are some ideas and tips for making the right apparel gift choices this year on the occasion of rakhi:
Blouses, sweaters, shirts, and tops
A beautiful blouse, shirt, or gorgeous and elegant sweater is a classy gift for almost anyone, be it your brother or sister. One thing you must be careful of, however, is the sizing. You must make sure you know the correct size needed; otherwise, you run the risk of needing to return or exchange the item. A sibling will certainly appreciate the gift of a name-brand dress shirt or a polo shirt.
Hoodies
Hoodies are certainly easier to size up than any of the apparel mentioned above. Hooded tee shirts and sweatshirts are also supremely comfortable and warm. Needless to mention that these clothes make a good gift for any occasion but, such a thoughtful gift is welcomed with utmost happiness. Hoodies are available in different colors and with many designs. You could probably get a hooded tee shirt from your sibling’s favorite sports team or music band or any other fandom that they follow.
Tee shirts
A relatively easy gift to size for is a tee shirt. Most t-shirts come in four main sizes, small, medium, and large, and extra-large, but you can sometimes choose plus sizes and even extra small. You can often tell the correct size by looking at the tee-shirt, but it is always safest to go a size up when choosing a tee-shirt unless the person likes to wear their t-shirts very tight. Tee shirts come in every shade of every color, plain or with lettering, with sports team logos, music and band logos, advertising related designs, floral and nature art, quotes and wording of all kinds, symbols, animals, cartoon characters, and just about anything else you can think of. A tee shirt is one of the most comfortable, useful, and practical apparel gifts you can give.
Accessories
If you prefer not to have to deal with trying to get the right sizes of clothing, assess a gift that is generally considered “one size fits all”, like a scarf, pair of gloves, or sunglasses. Also, you can consider gifts to give for Raksha Bandhan like shoes, hats, and dresses. Make sure sizing is not an issue.
One of the accessories that you can count on is the ever-versatile bag. If the rakhi gift that you are purchasing is for your sister, you can choose from a range of vanity, tote, sling, and even laptop bags. As for your brother, you can pick out a duffle bag or even a trendy backpack.
Other apparel options
How about deodorant for your brother or a necklace or earrings for your sister at Raksha Bandhan? There is an endless array of options in this area, and you do not need to worry as much about sizing unless you choose to buy very specific jewelry, of course.
Other than these fashionable apparel items, you can also choose to get evergreen gifts like gift cards. These gift cards can range from clothing retail shops to even accessories. Your sibling can utilize these gift cards as per their wish anytime during the validity of the gift card. This is a very interesting gift option that you can combine with other gifts like a gorgeous bunch of flowers, plush soft toys, chocolates, greeting cards, and many more.
