Bhai Dooj Gifts for Brother

Bhai Dooj symbolizes the undying love, affection and commitment between a brother and sister. Unlike Rakshabandhan, where the brother vows to protect the sister, Bhai Dooj is where the sister puts a tikka on the brother’s forehead to ward off evil spirits and keep him safe.

What makes Bhai Dooj an even happier occasion is that it falls on the last day of Diwali. Families gather together to celebrate this eternal bond making it a befitting end to the festive season. The siblings also exchange gifts on this day.

At Giftease, we have done half your work by listing out some unique gift ideas for your brother this Bhai Dooj.

Since Bhai Dooj is all about protecting the brother, what better way to do it than gift him an idol of Lord Ganesh to remove obstacles and bestow buddhi on your brother? You can choose from a range of hand painted figures to ganeshji in a frame or studded with stones

 The most important aspect of gifting is the thought that goes into it. You can gift your brother any watch or you can gift him the latest analog watch from a good brand like Titan or a bright coloured watch with a quirky message from Fastrack. Don’t be stingy. Buy your brother the best!

Gift him a quality leather wallet or card holder to hold all his usual array of receipts and cards. Slim wallets are the latest trend. Slimmer than the traditional version, they are just enough to hold what he might need for a night out.

Women love to smell good. But guys today are not far behind. All guys wear some sort of EDT, deodorant or cologne. So this is one category you can safely invest in.  

Gadget gifts and accessories for men is also a great choice. There is a wide range you can choose from. Mouse pads, I pad covers, hard disks, laptop sleeves, USB hub and phone cases. You can choose from sober to wild prints for any of these making it fun for you as well while shopping.

With the market overflowing with unique gift ideas thanks to Giftease, there is no excuse to gift your brother something mundane this Bhai Dooj.
