Bhai Dooj 2025: Heartfelt Gestures to Make Your Sibling Feel Special

Bhai

Dooj, a celebration of sibling love, will be celebrated on 23 October this year. This day is an ode to the special bond shared between siblings. On this day, sisters pray for their brother’s long life, prosperity and happiness, while brothers promise to protect and guard their sisters from any harm. The traditional rituals of Bhai Dooj include a tilak ceremony, aarti, and prayers, completed with giving gifts and sweets. Giving gifts encapsulates an important part of the day, where they stand as symbols of sibling love. This year, go beyond the traditional box of sweets and generic gifts, because your presents should be just as special as the bond you share!Here are some heartfelt gestures that make your sibling truly feel the love.

Plan a Sibling Date

Take the day off and plan an outing with your sibling. A movie date, coffee outing, or an adventurous long drive – whatever your siblings love. Spending a day together doing things you love will help deepen the connection and foster an unbreakable bond.

Recreate a Childhood Memory

From cooking their favourite childhood dish to playing an old game together, recreating a forgotten memory is the best way to remind them of your love. Nostalgia bridges the gap, and you are guaranteed to miss the old days when things were simpler.

Make a DIY Gift

Make a handmade gift for your sibling for a special personalised touch. A cute greeting card, jewellery pieces, or a scrapbook filled with your memories are some ideas to give a gift that feels personal and thoughtful.

Acts of Service

Offer to do their chores for a day and give your sibling a relaxed, stress-free day on Bhai Dooj. From cleaning their room to preparing a meal, acts of service are the best way to take some burden off their day. If you and your sibling fight over chores all year, this is the perfect gift!

Customized Gift

Prepare a customised hamper for your sibling consisting of their favourite items. Include self-care products, perfume, chocolates, and flowers to give them a heartfelt gift according to what they love. Include a warm handwritten note for a special touch.

Video Message

If you cannot meet your sibling this Bhai Dooj, there are ways to make them feel special. Make a video message expressing your love to them. Add old pictures and memories to make it nostalgic and heartwarming. This is a perfect virtual gift that proves that sibling love can be celebrated even from a distance.
