Wholesome Gifts Your Sibling Will Actually Use
Raksha Bandhan is about promises; it is about celebrating the bond between siblings; it is more than just tying a thread on the wrist. It is the day when the teasing stops, hugs and love are exchanged, and thoughtful gifts are the centre of attention.
But here’s the thing: most Rakhi gifts are either too boring, too generic, or sadly, forgotten a week later. This year, why not break the pattern? Let’s swap out the cliché presents for gifts that are fun, functional, and get used. Ones that bring a smile, not just for a moment, but every single day.
Welcome to Urbanpicks, where gifting meets practicality, colour, and creativity. Whether your sibling is five or fifteen, we’ve curated the kind of gifts that aren’t just “nice” to have; they are too good to ignore.
Let’s start by clearing something up. “Useful” doesn’t have to mean boring. The right gift should do both, delight and deliver.
- Themed Stationery Sets
Your younger brother is obsessed with Spider-Man? Or maybe your sister is all about unicorns, Hello Kitty, and everything pink, sparkly, and magical? If that sounds like her, our themed stationery sets will feel like they were made just for her. Packed with fun essentials like crayons, pens, pencils, sharpeners, erasers, and even a cute little ruler, each set comes in an adorable box that looks more like a treasure chest than a school kit.
These aren’t just your average supplies, they’re a total vibe. The kind that makes kids want to sit down and draw, write stories, or just line up their things in the neatest little row. It’s fun, creative, and honestly, one of those gifts that keeps making her smile long after Rakhi is over.
- Fancy Water Bottles
Water bottles are an everyday essential, but that doesn’t mean they have to be plain. Urbanpicks’ water bottles aren’t just cute, they’re the kind of cute that makes kids want to stay hydrated.
Let’s face it, no kid jumps out of bed saying, “Yay, it’s math time!” But something magical happens when they sit down at a desk that feels theirs.
They’re not just studying. They’re playing, imagining, engaging. Spiderman is helping them write, the unicorn wants them to colour neatly, and these little stories matter more than we think.
As parents, we don’t always have a say in what the syllabus covers, maths, spellings, timelines from long ago, but we can shape how our kids feel when they sit down to learn it all.
And no, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. You don’t need to turn your home into a Pinterest-perfect classroom. What matters is this: knowing your child. Noticing the little things that light up their eyes, a dinosaur, a dash of glitter, a soft pastel notebook that feels like it was made just for them.
Because sometimes, that’s all it takes.
A water bottle with a unicorn or a dinosaur can be more than just a bottle; it can be a gentle friend at the desk. And suddenly, instead of saying, “I don’t want to study,” your child might just ask, “Can I write in my new notebook now?” It’s not about forcing focus. It’s about creating a space that makes them want to be there.
Fill it with colour. Add a little magic. And watch how learning becomes something they look forward to.
