Well, we couldn't agree more on this. Gifting a pack of your favorite perfumes or an individual bottle of perfume is a great gift to bring a smile to your dearest sister's face. You can gift her an experimental or new fragrance to add to her collection or pick the one that she already loves. The tried and tested policy works best!

6. Skincare Kit

Whether she swears by her skincare routine and makes sure that is doing everything to keep her skin healthy or she is like, once in a week 'CTM kinda girl', gifting her skincare products is always a good idea. Rather than gifting her something that may affect her skin, consider gifting organic skin care products, especially if she has very sensitive skin. 

7. Customized Name Pendants

This is a great pick if you are someone who believes in gifting something unique to her sister. Take the gifting game a step ahead with customized name pendants or earrings. You will find many designs and color options in the market, and you can choose what you think will look best on her. 

8. Smartphone

In this tech-savvy world, smartphones have become a necessity. If you know she is forward to changing her mobile set because it's been sometime now or just because she likes to keep an updated version of the phone, this festive season, consider gifting her a phone (only if it is within your budget). 

9. Chocolates

The love for chocolates is inevitable, no matter to whom you are planning to gift. A big basket full of chocolates or a box of her favorite chocolates can be a sweet gesture for your sweetest sister.

10. A Pair of Earrings

I have hardly come across a girl who doesn't like jewelry. Whether it's pendants, bangles, neckpieces, or earrings, it's popularly known as a girl's best friend. 

Oxidized, boho, pearl, thread work, or metallic, all are great options if you would love to gift her a pair of earrings. Even if she is stacked with all kinds of jhumkas or eardrops, receiving a new design of earrings from your brother is definitely special. If you don't want to give the earrings in thread work, pearl or metallic, then pick something in sterling silver, rose gold, or diamonds. 

11. Pretty Shoes

Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world!

We may have probably heard this a zillion times, but we fully agree with this. The more is always less when it comes to shoes for any girl. If she has already mentioned then it's fine but if not then you can ask her what she wants to have, which color or if there's any specific brand she is looking for. We hope in case of shoes right article and size should be your priority of you, so we recommended either take her shopping with you or ask her for the right specifications so you don't get it wrong. 

12. A Polaroid Camera

If she loves to capture the moments or loves being the muse, either way, it's good if she has a nice camera. Try and give her something that she can use apart from her phone for photography like a Polaroid camera. They come in pretty colors and compatible sizes. Some have the instant picture print feature and some come with black and white or colorful digital prints. You can choose and figure out which one she would like and use more, rather than just using it as a photo prop. 

13. Books

Phones are replaced by mobile phones, physical games are replaced by online games, and similarly, books are replaced by kindles or reading pads. But if your sister is 'old school' at heart and loves the smell of a new book and likes to read by flipping the pages rather than scrolling the pads then gifting her a book from her favorite writer or novelist is a fab gift.

14. An Outfit She Has Been Eyeing On

I have enough clothes, I don't need to go shopping - said no woman ever! 

A girl never has too many clothes, so gifting her an outfit is a very basic, but appreciative idea. The best is to take her out shopping, so she can buy something nice of her choice, but if you want it to be a surprise, then try and look out for her shopping cart, where she might have added some outfits to her wishlist that she wants to buy shortly, We are sure she will be fortunate to have a brother like you who knows what exactly she is looking for.
