We know your ladoos and rakhis are ready for Raksha Bandhan, but the presents might still be in the pending category. And while the clichéd chocolates and fluffy bears might be an easy way out, your sibling/ whomever you bequest the relationship on will appreciate a more thoughtful (go the sentimental way) or thought out item (might hurt the pocket) under the wrapping paper. Ahead we curate the ultimate last minute gift guide for Raksha Bandhan from your fashion forward to the beauty buff kin.

For the fashion-forward sister

If your sister is the type who knows her Manolo Blahniks from her Birkenstocks, then a stylish handbag or a statement accessory is the way to go. Think of luxe, quilted crossbody or oversized sunglasses that scream ‘fashion icon’. She’ll be flaunting your gift on her Instagram stories before you even say ‘Happy Rakhi.’
