The beauty of the Rakhi Festival lies in the fact that the celebration need not be limited to only brothers and sisters. On many occasions women tie Rakhis to men who are not their brothers. This is basically done to honor a close male friend to let him know that he is thought of and loved as a brother and the friend in turn also reciprocates by almost unofficially adopting the girl as his sister. Many a times women also tie Rakhis around the wrists of suitors to gently let them know that they are not interested in them, but instead think of them as brothers. |

A rather prominent practice, particularly in the large joint families, is of women tying Rakhis to their brother in-laws. This is done to foster feelings of respect for each other in them. Its an important method to make a sister in law feel more comfortable in a household she's not been brought up in and also to let her know who she can turn to incase of any problems whatsoever. Bhaiya (brother-in-law) and Bhabhi (sister-in-law) also exchange Rakhi Gifts amongst themselves. Lets take a look at some popular Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhi Gifts.
Sweets
Sweets are an appropriate gift for this occasion. Each year on Rakhi sweetshops go into a frenzy in keeping with the festive season, so you are sure to find a wide variety of sweets to choose from. Instead of sticking to just one sweet you could have them prepare a platter, which contains little pieces of different kinds of sweets. Regardless of what you choose, it is sure to be a lip-smacking, special Rakhi gift !
Hand Crafted Rakhis
Ok ladies, here is the time to put all that you learnt in craft classes into action. Create a very special hand crafted Rakhi for your brother-in-law and he is sure to appreciate it because of all the effort that went into it. Contrary to popular belief, its pretty simple to make a hand crafted Rakhi, take a look at the many Internet manuals or simply ask your kids to help you. You could decide whether you would like to make a Flower Rakhi or a Metal Rakhi or a Stone Rakhi.
Idol of Lord Ganesha
In keeping with the Rakhi traditions, you could choose to gift an idol of Lord Ganesha. It is considered a most auspicious gift for this occasion and said to bring good luck to both the giver and the receiver of this generosity. This Divinity Rakhi gift.
