But gone are the days when this meant only envelopes of cash or boxes of chocolates. Today's sisters appreciate thoughtful, fun, and meaningful gifts that show effort and understanding rather than just price tags.

So, if you're a brother wondering what to gift this Bhai Dooj, here’s your quick guide to winning your sister’s heart — no stress, just smiles.

Nothing says “I care” like a personalised gift. It could be a customised bracelet with her initials, a photo collage of childhood memories, or a handwritten note tucked inside a keepsake box. These small gestures create big emotional impact. If your sister loves stationery, get her a personalised journal. If she’s into home décor, a nameplate or a customised candle set works wonders.
