We know, we know. Your brother has a special talent for getting on your nerves, doesn’t he? Sometimes, it’s him grabbing the last slice of pizza; other times, it’s him changing the channel when you’re CLEARLY watching something attentively. He’s messy, stubborn, and his burps are way too loud for a normal human being. But he would probably fight a mob of gangsters to keep you safe. Or maybe a pack of stray dogs, but you get the sentiment.
So as spectacularly annoying as your brother can be, he is also the one person you can blindly fall back on. He patiently listens to you, gives you advice when you most need it, and always has your back. He’s your reality check and also the person who encourages your far-fetched ambitions. But most importantly, he’s your best friend and the one guy you know you will always have a blast hanging out with, even if the urge to strangle him in his sleep does creep up occasionally.
With Raksha Bandhan right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to make your brother feel as special as he truly is. But we get it if just the thought of telling your brother you love him makes you want to vomit. Ugh, so cringeworthy, right? Fret not, for these ten awesome Rakhi gifts will get the job done when words fail to.
