Nothing captures the gist of a relationship between a brother and a sister like the wonderful Indian Festival of Raksha Bandhan. Raksha means 'to protect', and Bandhan means 'bond', therefore Rakhis is a bond of protection. Each year on Rakhi day, sisters tie a Rakhi or an amulet around their brother's wrist as a protecting charm. They appeal to God to always protect their brothers and bestow all happiness upon them. |

The Brother's in turn vow to uphold to protect their sisters from any worldly harm and ensure their well being forever.
It is customary on Rakhi for Brothers to make either a cash gift or any token gift to the sister as an appreciation of her devotion. Over the past few years, sisters have also started giving gifts to their brothers. Lets take a look at some of the popular gifts for brothers.
Popular Gift Items
Sweets
Rakhi Sweets continue to be the most popular gift that sisters give their brothers. Each year the sweetshops report a substantial rise in the sale of Sweets, popularly known as Mithais. The Primary reason for this is that everybody can afford to buy sweets. Since Rakhi is celebrated by the masses cutting across all creeds and societal barriers, not all sisters can afford to get their brothers something fancy. However, as they say it's the though that counts and therefore at the end of the day, sweets work just like a diamond would.
Consumer items
Popular amongst these are jewelry and Wristwatches. Since, men's jewelry section is rather limited, watches score higher. And the best bit is that with the wide range available in the stores these days, you can definitely find something that will suit his taste and your pocket. Of course, if you are feeling rich, you can always buy one of those designer varieties which he is sure to treasure forever.
Garments
This is a tricky one, because these days men have gotten as picky and choosy as women when it comes to clothes so unless you know your brother's taste very well, it is advisable not to venture in this direction. However, should you still decide to do so, stick to neckties for the old brothers and wild snazzy tees for the younger ones. Again, you can choose something on the basis of your budget. In keeping with the Rakhi Tradition , you could get him a traditional Indian Sherwani.
Wallets
Men seem to appreciate wallets as a gift. A wallet to a man is a very personal belonging, something that he carries with him all the time, so you may have to spend a little time and energy to get him a smart looking one.
