Nine gifts for every type of brother
Editor's note: It can be tough to find the perfect gift for your brother. But our sister site, Souk, can help with that. With Rakshabandhan having just passed us by, Souk has put together a list of nine fab items that your brother would love.
Over to Souk!

Yes, yes, Rakshabandhan was yesterday.
But we put out a cool (if we do say so ourselves) gift guide for sisters last week, and we really wanted to follow it up with an even cooler gift guide for brothers. We think some of the things on this list would make for great birthday, I-got-this-for-you-just-because, I-was-thinking-of-you, or I-am-happy-for-you gifts for brothers, or besties who're practically brothers.
So what DO you gift the brother you didn't get to choose, but love (ok tolerate) and would (probably) defend to death anyway?
We have some (ok nine) ideas.
1) Gift Card
For the brother who needs to retire his decade-old hoodies and tees ASAP and replace them with classic fits from your favourite planet-friendly clothing brand.
Price: Rs. 3,500
For the brother you will definitely be thanking for *ahem* making you 'stronger' in all your award acceptance speeches.
Price: Rs. 599
For the brother who loves his condiments, can handle his spice, and would be excited at the addition of a trio of small-batch artisanal hot sauces to his growing stash.
Price: Rs. 900
For the brother who could use a daily visual reminder that you're always looking out for him...just as much as you're keeping a watchful eye on him.
Price: Rs. 999
For the sister who is fueled by caffeine, and would pick validation from Shakespeare over flowers or chocolate any day.
Price: Rs. 3,500
6) Kala Pani
For the 'fraghead' brother who loves a good aquatic scent profile and is constantly planning his next salty-fresh getaway.
Price: Rs. 2,501
For the brother with a snacky sweet tooth who'd love a generous supply of aam papad strips packaged like chewing gum.
Price: Rs. 1,494
8) Sustainable Gentleman's Hamper
For the brother who is a true sustainable gentleman, and deserves a grooming hamper of handcrafted personal care products that respects both the receiver and the planet.
Price: Rs. 1,000
For the design-obsessed brother who loves beautiful utility and would truly appreciate this seamless steel toolbox (made from a single sheet of steel) by an award-winning Japanese company whose products have been loved for more than half a century.
Price: Rs. 3,600
