Bhai Dooj is slated for Wednesday, 11 November, celebrating the protective sibling bond between brothers and sisters. As part of the festive rituals, sisters apply a tilak on their brother’s forehead and pray for their long life and continued happiness. Brothers reciprocate with thoughtful gifts that express their love and appreciation for their presence. Families also partake in a meal. To make this festival special for your sister and give her something she will love, read these five ideas, from jewellry and accessories to beauty products.
Jewellery is the easiest choice to make as, if you’ve spent enough time together, it is easy to find out her likes. If she prefers everyday wear, try gold or diamond studs with simple shapes, or if her tastes are traditional, she might adore lightweight silver or gold jhumkas. Trusted retailers include Tanishq (tanishq.co.in), CaratLane (caratlane.com), BlueStone (bluestone.com) and GIVA (giva.co.in). Earrings that would easily be part of the jewelryry collection will be the most heartfelt gift.
