Rakhi, or Raksha Bandhan, is a festival celebrated to honor the special and enduring bond between brothers and sisters. A sister often wraps her brother's wrist with a colorful rakhi, a sacred thread, that represents sibling devotion, during this celebration.
The event begins with the traditional aarti and ends with prayers for everyone's well-being (good health, prosperity and happiness). Following the prayer, the sister adorns the brother's forehead with a tilak. The brother then makes a promise to lead and guard the sister for the rest of their lives, no matter what. Additionally, a brother traditionally gives his sister a variety of fun gifts as part of the ritual. Gifts are important and represent expressions of affection.
With time, the ritual has changed drastically. It’s not just the sister tying the rakhi on her brother’s wrist or it’s not just the brother giving gifts to his sister. Nowadays, even sister-in-laws can participate in this holy ceremony. After all, the festival is all about celebrating the bonds, the relationships.
When it comes to our siblings, we have seen them trotting like a toddler, and adulting way too hard. Here, in this blog, we have put together the different types of siblings and how our specially curated rakhi gift hampers are a perfect gift for them. So, shall we begin?
The Monica
‘Neat’ and ‘Tidy’ describe her perfectly, making her, her mother’s favourite. If your sibling is a self-professed organisation junkie and keeps everything sorted in a designated place, then you must have faced the brunt of her bossiness. Keeping it clean, according to her, means “Not just clean, Monica clean”, which may even put the health department to shame, failing to compete with her! If she’s the Monica Geller to your Ross from F.R.I.E.N.D.S., then the Green Vanity Pouch Rakhi Hamper Set Of 6 is just the perfect gift for her.
The Rakhi special hamper comprises 3 pouches in 3 different sizes with a soothing sage green colour, 1 pair of rakhi and lumba, 1 pack of 4 chocolates and 1 bottle each of rice and roli. The quilted and cushioned pouches with their smooth velvety surface are spacious and enable to easily organise trinkets, cosmetics, and documents. The pouches feature a zip closure for easier functionality and a waterproof lining to keep one's essentials in the pouches dry and safe.
The Daphne
If anyone’s “Spill the tea” gets your sibling to think “How dare you?” (in Lucifer’s tone), we don’t mean to annoy her further but we have some tea to spill. We are here, presenting to you, the perfect gift for your chai-lover sister. Chai is not just tea, it’s an emotion. We have taken it by heart and curated this exquisite gift hamper, best suited for a tea connoisseur.
The gift hamper is an amalgamation of 2 cups, a tray, a snack plate and a creamer. The gift hamper is crafted in a minimalist-vintage style because we guess your sister might get inspired by Bridgerton ways of tea parties and soirees.
If it’s your brother, whose favorite t-shirt has “chai addict” written on it and never misses the evening “chai adda” session, Raksha Bandhan is that time of the year when you can either brew a cup of his favorite flavored tea or compel him to prepare one to pamper you, a little bit extra.
The Workaholic
Instead of working to live, workaholics live to work. They don't appear to be able to tell these two mottos apart. Workaholics, in particular, are known to live and breathe their jobs, spending all of their free time there or worrying about them. Working constantly, though, can be taxing on one’s personal life as well as mental health.
So, amid the work-a-day accessories and tools, help your sibling create a comfort corner by letting them place little florals in a mini vase and fond memories in a sleek photo frame.
Advise them to take a chill pill and energise with a cuppa of black coffee to beat the weekday blues. The Workstation Raksha Bandhan Hamper Set Of 6 comprises a coffee mug for the unending coffee refills, a small vase for beautifying the desk, and a photo frame to reminisce over sweet childhood memories.
The Bunny
When we talk about “comfort movies”, the discussion often takes a turn to the lane of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. How many of you agree with it? Raise your hands! Well, I have both of my hands raised. The common favorite of all the characters of the movies is…(drum roll please?)...Bunny!
Bunny, whose “Badtameez Dil” has stolen millions of hearts, whose Ilahi spirit has inspired the youngsters to take up a job that offers you to travel, to follow your dreams, no matter what, and to never stop because “main udna chahta hoon, daudna chahta hoon, bas rukna nahi chahta.”
Ranbir Kapoor as Bunny has left a massive impact on the audience. If you went to watch the movie with your sibling, and he whispered, “I want to be a Bunny when I am all grown up”, the yellow travel pouch set is the accurate Raksha Bandhan gift for him. You witnessed his indomitable spirit to achieve his goal and finally, succeeded to be a traveler for life. He can use these 3 pouches of various sizes to fit in all that he needs to carry on his safarnama.
From towels to passport, from grooming kit to deodorants and shaving essentials, let him pack conveniently for his next trip. And, with a roli chawal teeka, wish him a safe journey for his next trip.
For The Love of Bubbles
Daily life is tiring enough, so why not make bath time a routine of pampering and indulging in relaxing scents? Encourage your sibling to rejuvenate and charge up after a long day by gifting them a Bath Essentials Raksha Bandhan Hamper Set Of 7.
Whether they are a bathroom singer or a shower overthinker, bathroom personalities are many and unique, but it’s a time that helps one focus on themselves. 
The Bath essential hamper especially curated by Nestasia for the auspicious occasion of Rakhi comprises 1 rakhi, 1 bottle of rice, 1 bottle of roli and a ceramic planter to include the essence of nature on the bathroom countertop, floral fragrant votives and potpourri for an aura that soothes the body and mind, and a sleek hand dispenser to add a modern touch to the bathroom.
The Poo
“Kaun hai woh…jisne mujhe mudke nahi dekha?” 
If you know who it is, and if you have someone totally the same in your house, this hamper is the absolute rakhi gift for the person. We all have grown up watching this Bollywood movie, and this Lady Elegante was the fashion icon at that time. It’s none other than Ms. Pooja or popularly known as Poo. Kareena Kapoor mesmerized us with her fashion, style, makeup and bold attitude. 
Girls, it’s no shame to admit all of us have tried to imitate her at least once. And, our brothers have seen it more closely than anyone else. After all, binge-watching Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham is still a connecting point between the two of you. And, our Dusty Rose set of 3 pouches is made exclusively to suit the taste of your Poo!
Like Rose is the queen of flowers, your sister, your very own Poo is no less! The fashionista of your home will need these 3 pouches to keep her makeup brushes, eyeshadow palettes, concealers, foundation, lipsticks, etc. all in one place or she might lose them. As a protective brother, you can’t let it happen, right? 
Not just that, the sunglasses without which your Poo can’t leave the house, the Dusty Pink pouches have space for that as well! While gifting the makeup pouch set, you can add a few makeup essentials to brighten the smile on your baby sister’s face on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan.
The Serial Baker
If your sibling, like Remy from Ratatouille, is obsessed with staying in the kitchen with an apron on, a mitt on one hand and a spatula in the other, then the Bakeware essential hamper is just for her.
The chef rat of your home, who loves to try out new dishes and makes you the Anton Ego of her cooking experiments, deserves the exquisite Rakhi special hamper that Nestasia has to offer. 
Whether they wish to bake soufflé, pies, cakes, cheesy white sauce pasta, lasagna or macaroni and cheese, the Bakeware rakhi hamper has 1 pair of 1 rakhi and lumba, 1 bottle of roli, 1 bottle of rice, 1 box of 4 chocolates, and dishes and moulds that have been curated to be the star for a dedicated home chef.
The Rani
A queen is expected to be fearless, audacious, and bold. But every queen that we see ultimately as a colorful butterfly was once a caterpillar in a cocoon. The story of the journey of this butterfly leaving the cocoon and flying with colors is best portrayed in Kangana Ranaut’s Queen.
The story was so inspiring that the movie reached a peak of being one of the biggest hits of Bollywood. Starting with an unfortunate turn of events, Rani’s marriage was called off yet she went on her honeymoon all by herself to the dreamland of Paris. It’s a tale of how a small town girl, surrounded by a big joint family, crosses the threshold of familiarity and steps into a new land where she had no idea how to survive. She learns and she grows. She becomes the Queen, who needs no one but herself.
Having an elder sister is such a blessing, isn’t it? She is like a second mom. And, she is no less than a queen like Rani. Bring her a token of Paris with this festive rakhi gift hamper on the day of Raksha Bandhan, which includes a showpiece of the Eiffel tower- a Parisian charm, a green marble tumbler and an angel photo frame to keep your pictures and savour the sweet moments. Don’t forget to take her to Paris for real whenever you get a chance!
The Kaira
“Dear Zindagi,
Thank you for making me the woman I am today!
With love,
Kaira”
Sounds familiar, isn’t it? Yes, you have guessed it right! We are talking about Alia Bhatt, who has taught us that the moments which break you are also the moments that build you. Dear Zindagi is a compilation of our midlife crises, where we find ourselves struggling with various types of brokenness.
In all these times of despair, we all search for a Jug to guide us on the path of finding ourselves, towards what truly makes us happy. Anyone can be a Jug, but Jug can’t be anyone. It should be someone who knows you well enough to understand you the way you are. As an elder brother, you can do it the best. 
If you have guided your little sister Kaira to a place where she finds peace with herself by adopting various hobbies, one of them being gardening, this gift hamper will be the best gift for her on Raksha Bandhan. A gift hamper for gardening with 4 mini clay pots set, 3 gardening tools set, and 1 wooden tray- we thought what can be better than this!
