Celebrate Rakhi a Little Extra with these Ideas, this Year

Raksha Bandhan is one such Indian festival that is celebrated all over the country to strengthen the bond of siblings. This festival is that one day, where siblings come together (for a few hours though) with harmony and have a good time. Making the most of your Rakhi celebrations, here is a list of things and activities that you can consider-

1.      DIY Gifts- Rakhi is a festival that demands the exchange of greetings and gifts among siblings. And like every year if you're wondering about what to give your partner-in-crime sibling, then we have an idea- go and DIY. DIY gifts are quite trending, and why not? When a handmade gift is presented to someone, it is not only the gift that brings joy but the receiver's reaction, his/her response over such an overwhelming act is something more heart-warming. Gifts like Explosion Box, Chocolate Box, Scrapbook, Gourmet Hamper, etc. are in trend and are readily available online.

2.      A Unique Rakhi- The main attraction of Raksha Bandhan festivity is the Rakhi thread. Every year you spend hours and hours to choose that one thread that you think will embrace your brother's wrist the best. And not only that, choosing a different and innovative rakhi from last year's rakhi is also something that the sister's swear by. So, cut all those outings to zero and this year buy rakhi online. At any reputed online Rakhi shop, you will find hundreds of options to choose from. Moreover, if your brother lives abroad, then these online gifting portals give you the chance to send rakhi to Canada, USA, UAE, UK, and other countries, using their gifting service.

3.      Movie Marathon- Not every materialistic thing counts as a gift, sometimes a gesture like planning a movie marathon can also be a good pick. You know your sibling the best, his/her preferences in movies, what genre excites him/her, and all. So, plan a movie marathon at your home where you guys binge watch both of your favourite movies. To make the gesture more overwhelming, order snacks, cola, etc. online and voila!

4.      Plan a Trip- Yes, why not? Remember the last time you went out for a trip? Well, it's been so long (and even if not then also, a little outing never harms anybody). So, go ahead and plan a weekend getaway with your sibling to a destination you both have yearned to go. If you like, you can also go on a road trip on your bike and with all the proper gears. Plan the getaway or the vacation, at a place where you both can enjoy, irrespective of those small gifts you guys have.

5.      A Spa Session- This might be a little out-of-the-box, but then it is something exciting and fun. You can plan a spa session at home or can visit any spa for a relaxing and pampering session. This gesture can be a little tricky because where girls love such therapies, boys don't. And where the bookings can be an easy deal to crack (if you are planning for a professional spa session), getting your brother ready for this pampering session can be a daunting task. So, do that wisely!

All these gifts, gestures, and things can make your Rakhi celebrations more warming and exciting.
