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.

But don’t forget the tradition of Rakhi sweets—Pair your skincare gift with something celebratory yet traditional, such as Theobroma’s Raksha Bandhan Mithai Confectionery Box—it fills the gap between modern self-care and nostalgic indulgence.

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!

And to this rakhi special gift for brother, include a sweet surprise, such as our Raksha Bandhan Chocolate Rochers Gift Box—a premium addition that is sure to please any grooming enthusiast and provide a moment of indulgence after pampering.

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 something that pairs perfectly with a cup of tea or cookies that are the perfect accompaniment with a cuppa joe!

It’s a great Raksha Bandhan gift for a brother who appreciates slowing down and appreciating the small things.
