Dessert

Do you have nostalgic memories of you and your brother sharing a piece of cake or a chocolate bar? Is your brother a huge foodie who loves digging into something sweet after a meal?

If you are looking for something a bit more elevated, you can gift your brother hand-made desserts like ooey-gooey brownies and crumbly cookies. At Theobroma, we offer assorted brownies in packs of 6 and 12 pieces. While the 6-piece pack easily fits under the budget of Rs 1000, you can splurge a little more to get the 12-piece pack as well. Featuring our signature flavours like walnut, choco-chip, cookie and more, these brownie boxes will make rakhi celebrations even sweeter! Similarly, our assorted box of pastries makes for the perfect rakhi gift for brothers who love to have their cake and eat it too! If you brother is a firm believer that variety is the spice of life, our assorted box of pastries will please him to no end. From our bold and delicious Red Velvet pastry to our chocolatey Opium pastry, our assorted box has something for every one of your brothers!

You can’t talk about dessert without thinking of cake! And when it comes to cake, no one does it better than Theobroma. If you want to recreate nostalgic childhood memories with your brothers, then our Fresh Pineapple and Cream cake is a trip down memory lane. If you’re looking for a safe option that will please all your brothers, our Chocoholic cake is three layers of white, milk, and dark chocolate stacked to perfection. However, if you’re ready to splurge, our speciality cakes open up new worlds. Whether you’re hosting a rakhi lunch or looking for an elaborate rakhi gift for a brother who loves food, our speciality cakes are a class apart. Featuring unique and compelling flavour profiles, our speciality cakes are decorated to look like masterpieces. From the mint-and-chocolate After Nine cake to the grand Tiramisu cake and everything in between, a speciality cake from Theobroma will turn this raksha bandhan into a rakhi to remember.

Skincare

Times are changing, and for the better! Gone are the days when looking after yourself was looked down upon as something frivolous. Today, it is important to maintain your physical appearance and a certain hygiene level. Whether your brother’s already knee-deep in skincare or could use a little help in that department, he will surely appreciate a few essentials. If your brother likes following a skincare routine, you can get him a kit with different products such as a facewash, scrub, moisturiser, and so on. Everything he will need to keep his skin looking fresh and clean is in one box.

Grooming Kit

Does your brother take pride in his glorious facial hair? If so, you can get him a beard and moustache grooming kit! Packed with shaping wax, oils, and growth serums, this box is just what he needs to keep rocking his facial hair in all its glory! Purchasing all these grooming products individually might take up too much of your time and cost you a fortune. However, purchasing a readymade kit is quick and costs a fraction of the price. And giving your brother the gift of self-care? Priceless!

Tea/Coffee Essentials

Do you see your brother sipping on multiple cups of chai in the morning or some chamomile tea before sleeping? Does your brother refuel during the day by drinking copious amounts of coffee? To create a more well-rounded gift, you can pick up all the accoutrements your brother would need to brew the perfect cup of tea or coffee. If he enjoys a variety of teas to pick from, you can get him a box of assorted flavours. From oolong and grey earl to chamomile and peppermint, you can get your brother different flavours for his many moods. Similarly, you can also get him a coffee-making kit so he can whip up the perfect brew to start his day off right. Whether he prefers cold brews, a French press, espressos, or mocha, you can curate a handful of grinds as per his liking. From differently flavoured tea bags and organic honey to top-quality beans and creamers, create a tea/coffee kit to turn your brother’s daily ritual into a joyful experience. While you’re at it, stop by Theobroma and pick out tea cakes that pair perfectly with a cup of tea or cookies that are the perfect accompaniment with a cuppa joe! A thoughtful Raksha bandhan gift for your brother, a mug and the ingredients to make his favourite beverage will put a mile-wide smile on his face!

Mugs

Do you know what else is a must while drinking a comforting cup of coffee or tea? A sturdy, spacious, and stylish mug! A mug is something that always comes in handy, if not today, then tomorrow. And mugs serve as excellent presents since most people tend to use them daily. Wouldn’t you like it if your brother remembered you every day while sipping on his cup of chai or coffee? If so, then the mugs at Theobroma fit the bill to a T. Made using elegant bone China, the mugs have a wide bottom and open mouth, creating enough room for a large pour of coffee or tea. And with our signature whimsical artwork, they are a treat for sore eyes.

Headphones

It is often said that when words fail, music speaks. Is your brother an avid music lover, always in charge of the playlist and blasting songs whenever he can? Or do you think he could benefit from taking some time to listen to a few songs and unwind? One of the best things you could gift your brothers this rakhi is a pair of quality earphones or headphones. You can easily find a range of earphones under Rs 1000. Pick a style and colour that would suit his personality and give him something he will use daily.

Journal

In today’s fast-paced and hectic times, self-care has become a priority for all. While you might find it easy to express your emotions, it might not be such a breeze for your brothers. One of the easiest ways to get in touch with your inner self is to begin journaling. And if you are giving rakhi to multiple brothers, then this gift is not only meaningful but super budget-friendly! At Theobroma, we have a couple of options for you to choose from. Our hardbound journal comprises sections for to-do lists, affirmations, and doodles. If you want something more travel-friendly, our compact spiralbound journal is just right for you. Featuring stunning artwork, these journals are easy on the pocket and will set your brothers up for a healthier emotional life.

Streaming Subscription

In the era of streaming, you need one subscription or another to watch shows, movies, or listen to music. Paying for myriad subscriptions can become a costly affair. And if you switch to a free plan, you are inundated with advertisements that interrupt your experience. If your brother is struggling to pay for multiple streaming subscriptions, then rakhi is your chance to reduce his burden! Get him a subscription plan for his favourite streaming service and watch his face light up. A lot of homegrown streaming services offer annual plans that easily fit within your budget. You could also get him a one or three-month subscription plan for international streaming services. If you are stuck and cannot think of anything specific to get your brother, then a subscription plan is a safe bet.

And what goes better with a top-notch movie or TV show than equally delicious snacks, right? While you can pick up bunch of munchies for your brother from any grocery store, they’ll pale in comparison to all the goodies featured on our snack menu. If your brother is one who reaches for something sweet, our Almond Biscotti and Sugar Palmiers make for the perfect movie marathon snack. Does your brother prefer to binge on savoury snacks while catching up on a favourite show? If so, our Ragi Crackers and Cheese Crackers are crisp, flavourful, and utterly addictive. While you’re at it, watch a few movies with him and make memories together!

Memorable Experiences

Often, what we truly yearn for in life is a fresh experience that will linger in our memories for years to come. If your brother is not particularly drawn to material possessions, consider gifting him an experience he will relish. Explore thrilling events in and around your city and select something tailored to his interests. From plays, stand-up comedy shows, and art exhibitions to food festivals, a plethora of options abound. Tickets for such occasions are reasonably priced, allowing you to easily find something that aligns with your budget. If feasible, acquire an additional ticket and transform it into an adventure you both can relish together.

With hectic schedules and busy lives, you might find it challenging to spend quality time with your brother. What’s a better rakhi gift for your brother than a few hours in each other’s company? If all you want to do this rakhi is sit with your brother and catch up on the things you’ve missed out, head straight to Theobroma. Take a seat in quaint and charming café and bond with your brother over a spread fit for kings. While our patisserie is a warm and comfortable space for the two of you to relax in, you can treat your brother to a meal by picking out his favourite items from our extensive menu. While we’re renowned for our desserts, our menu also features an array of savoury items like sandwiches, rolls, puffs, and more. Pair your choice with a piping-hot coffee or a cool pressed juice and chat with your brother for hours on end.

Tote Bag

One of the best ways to stay environmentally conscious is to avoid single-plastic items. So, why not help your brother be a better earthling by gifting him a tote bag? Tote bags are usually made from lightweight fabrics and can be reused multiple times. Whether your brother is a student and needs a bag to carry books or is a working professional and requires a tiffin bag, tote bags can come in handy for it all. If you are looking for a stylish yet affordable tote bag for your brothers, then Theobroma has you covered. In soothing pastel colours, they work perfectly with a range of outfits. Spacious enough to hold a bunch of things, your brother can use it for a variety of purposes. Get your brother one of our tote bags as a rakhi gift and help him be his best eco-friendly self!
