How rakhi gifting works
- Choose the rakhi. Pick an engraved metal rakhi (Rs. 249-299) if he'll keep it as a keepsake, or a plantable seed rakhi (Rs. 199) if you want it to grow into a plant after the festival.
- Add the return gift. This is what makes it a complete Raksha Bandhan gift rather than just a thread; a hamper, wallet, bottle or jewellery box, personalised with a name or initials.
