Though the gifting practices in Rakhi have evolved over the years, the spirit has remained the same. You can still find people standing in queues to buy rakhis from retail shops in your locality. Subsequently, last year on the Rakhi day, you might have also experienced a great deal of heavy traffic and gatherings in sweet shops. And all this demand and energy from people is quite expected. This is because Raksha Bandhan is not just a festival for Indians but an emotion!
Though we might see that people flock to local markets to get their rakhis or their sweet box, we also witness that the depth has dipped. The reason is that the gifting practices have gone through a paradigm shift with the advent of e-commerce platforms. Just a few days left to enjoy Raksha Bandhan with your sibling this year, and here is a blog from our end, ready to help you understand why you need to sort your Rakhi gifting online.
Grab a seat as we will be discussing how other platforms are redefining Rakhi online gifting to the next level. But first, let us go through the reasons why people in 2025 are preferring online shopping, prior to Raksha Bandhan in August.
Reasons why Siblings are Preferring Online Rakhi Gifts This Year Rather than Retail Stores
Getting a Rakhi that best suits your imagination on your sibling’s hand is a steal deal. For that, you might have the urge to visit your nearest retail shop. But would that do any good? It means you either have to beat traffic, or stand in long queues, or in the worst case scenario, face bad climate conditions like rain, etc. Alternatively, online ordering eliminates all those hassles. Isn’t it?
Let’s go through the reasons which is driving siblings to hit those online gifting platforms-
● People Saying Goodbye to the Hassle of Crowded Markets
Contemplating the real scenario- you try to visit the local shop near you, navigating through the traffic, standing in the queue. And by the time you get your hands on the rakhis, your joy of gifting turns to exhaustion. Moreover, your important minutes of the day get wasted.
Comparatively, on online platforms, you can not only avoid unwanted hassles but also get to choose from a wide range of eye-catching rakhis, that too, from the comfort of your home.
● Curated Hampers That Say More Than Just “Happy Rakhi”
Hampers are the new rakhi gifting practice where people get to choose the items they want to gift their siblings within a single box/package. If you are not so much of a curator, you can get some amazing assorted gift hampers that will make your sibling feel special to his/her core. From gourmet treats to wellness hampers, from customized keepsakes to trendy accessories, each of our hampers is made with love and emotion that caters to the amazing bond between brother and sister.
● Customization is the New Tradition
Since we have somewhat discussed the versatility of rakhi hampers, we need to talk about how online gifting is bringing customization to the table. With gift customization made easier, siblings are finding better ways to say they care. Moreover, rakhi hampers are transcending the limitations of age, gender biases, and other false stigmas.
As for the customized ideas are concerned it may be a picture of a good moment on a coffee mug, something like that. Here are some of the trending gifting orders that you can look at and get an idea-
- Personalized gift cards/playing cards with the hamper
- Siblings’ favourite products like a scented candle, a music system, premium chocolates, a Notebook, etc.
- Digital notes or videos with Flowers/Plants
- Rakhi Essentials- Like gifting a Potli in various designs. You can get them in the flower design.
Sometimes people also love posters and frames. If your sibling is one among those, you can gift them a customized one from the same online platform. All you need to do is write down the message you want to paint in the frame prior to ordering.
So, you can understand that it’s poised to be an element of surprise for your sibling, isn’t it? Try to get something like this from the nearby local shop, and you would probably fail.
● Siblings Living Away from Your Place? No worries
As we are all living a fast-paced lifestyle, most siblings live away from each other, sometimes in different cities or even states. Online gifting bridges the gap seamlessly. For instance, The Gift Studio offers reliable delivery across India, ensuring your hamper reaches your brother or sister within the stipulated period of time, no matter where they are in the country.
So even though you might be living apart, that doesn’t mean you can’t send your love to your sibling. And with the power of online platforms, you don’t need to worry about couriers, missed delivery slots, or shipping chaos.
● Exclusive Designs You Won’t Find in Stores
One of the greatest advantages of buying your rakhi online is access to exclusive designer rakhis and limited-edition hampers. These are handcrafted, premium-quality items you simply won’t find in your local store. Think eco-friendly rakhis, elegant bracelet-style threads, and hampers with international chocolates, luxury teas, or artisanal treats.
