Give your Brother More than a Rakhi - 15 Best Ways to Hang Out on Rakhi

Brothers - younger or elder, complete our life. Ever wondered how life would be without them? It's hard to imagine - that’s how special they are. It is not just their existence in your life that is special but also the bond you both share.

In the hustle and bustle of today's world, it's hard to spend quality time with your siblings. But yet, Raksha Bandhan is one day of the year where we set everything aside and cherish our relationship with our sibling. It's one day out of 365 - surely you should spend it right.

Given that sisters expect so much more than a blessing - in the form of unique Rakhi Gifts for Sister, it’s a little unfair that brothers receive nothing but a rakhi, right? This Raksha Bandhan, in conjunction with gifts, it's time to create endless memories. Hang out with your brother, spend some time with him and create long-lasting memories. Here are some wonderful ideas about how you can spend quality time with your brother.

1. Take him out on a shopping spree

Boys do like shopping as well. Perhaps not as much as girls, but they do. After all, who doesn’t like a fresh wardrobe? Take your brother on a shopping spree! The excitement and happiness you will see on his face will certainly be worth all the effort. Have an amazing time bonding over suggestions and opinions on the clothes - show him how much you really care about him.

2. Hit the gym with him

 

If your brother is a fitness freak, he will love this. If not, it will be a good way to motivate him to drop his laziness. If you guys have a gym membership - even better! Otherwise, you can just go on a trial to your nearest gym and burn some calories together. If you both end up liking it - you both can get a membership and make gyming together a regular routine. You may also wanna take a break from generic simple thread rakhis & tie him the personality-specific Gym Bro Rakhi.

Gaming runs in the veins of guys. It's hard to have a better day than a day at a gaming parlour. Spend your day playing FIFA or NFS on PS4, or striking pins down the bowling lane - and become the coolest sister ever!

Compete against each other in various games available at the centre and leave no stones unturned in winning the war against your sibling.
