So, if you wish to enthrall not just your brother, but also your entire family, here are some ideas to customize not just for the surprise of your brother, but also to the surprise of your entire family:
Best Ways To Customise Your Rakhi Thali
1. Personalized rakhi
The most important thing to form part of the rakhi thali as you know is the rakhi, which is going to be one of the best rakhi gifts from you for your brother. You can bring customization right in the rakhi itself. Yes, you can get the name of your brother engraved on the rakhi to bring a personal touch to your rakhi thali. When your brother finds his name in rakhi, he will be highly enthralled, isn’t?
2. Personalized gift
In addition to bringing personalization to the rakhi itself, you can make it something personalized for your gift as well as one among the best rakhi gifts for brothers. For instance, you can go for a cushion pillow printed with the name of your brother.
You can also opt for a personalized coffee mug with your message for your brother printed on it. You can also get the name of your brother and your name printed along with your photos on the cushion pillow.
3. Plate with your brother’s photo
To prepare the thali as you know, you first need a plate on which you will have to place all those religious stuff inclusive of rakhi, chawal, tika, diya, incense sticks and sandalwood.
Why not consider personalization of this plate itself. Yes, you can get the photo of your brother or even your own photo printed on the plate to add a personal touch.
4. Favorite sweet of your brother
Generally, two or three sweets should also form part of the thali as you will have to give sweets to your brother after tying the rakhi to his hand and after you keep thilak on his wrist. If this turns out to be the favorite sweet of your brother, your thali will automatically turn out to be a personalized gift.
For instance, if your brother has great attraction towards kaji katli, you can add it as a part of your thali. Similarly, you can choose any sweets like rasgulla, gulab jamun or any other sweet that your brother loves to give a personal touch to your thali.
5. Banana leaf for a traditional and personalized look
If your brother gives more importance to traditional values, you can get plates available in the shape of a banana leaf to place it on your thali. Traditionally, a banana leaf is spread on the thali and only on the leaf, puja items like chawal and kumkum are placed.
Now, if you cannot get the leaf, you can place the artificial leaf like plate on the rakhi thali before placing the traditional items like dhiya, chawal, etc.
So, personalization is highly possible in each and every aspect of Raksha Bandhan to make the festival more special not just for you, but also for your brother.
