Self-care spa hamper
Bath salts, a scented candle, a face mask and an eye pillow. An evening off, in a box.
Bhai Dooj closes the Diwali week with a tilak, a prayer for her brother and a gift in return. Since she has just been through the Diwali rush, pick something that pampers her or that she can use every day, not another box of sweets she will pass on.

A miniature set of four or five fragrances, so she can find her favourite.
Her initials embossed on a slim wallet. Practical with a personal touch.

Jewellery like jhumkas or a charm bracelet, a self-care hamper, earbuds, a sling bag or a personalised gift, plus sweets.
The spirit is the same. Many brothers give something smaller or more personal on Bhai Dooj, since it comes right after Diwali.
