It’s hard to shop for a woman you’ve shared a childhood with.
You’ve watched her go through all her eras—each truer to her identity than the last and yet, still a solid part of who she is right now. You can’t really pin her personality down or box it into a category. Because it’s a host of little insights (and items she, ahem, may have “borrowed” from your room) that coalesce into this person you can’t really describe in words, but know entirely.
So we’ve put together a list of 12 gift ideas for every kind of sister who's also one-of-a-kind to help you score major sibling brownie points come Rakshabandhan or her birthday!
