7 of the coolest gadgets you can gift your sibling based on their personality

Rakshabandhan is right around the corner, which means the annual scramble to find the perfect gift for your sibling has officially begun. To prevent a gifting disaster, like giving fancy headphones to a sibling who does not even have a Spotify account, it is crucial to match the tech to their personality. Our curated gadget guide below does exactly that.

For the fitness enthusiast: Samsung Galaxy Fit3

This is the perfect gift for the sibling who tracks their macros and lives on the treadmill but thinks a full-blown smartwatch is overkill. The Samsung Galaxy Fit3 is a brilliant upgrade from its 2020 predecessor, packing more features into an inexpensive package. It’s also more of a fitness tracker than a smartwatch.

You get a bright 1.6-inch AMOLED display and tracking for over 100 activities alongside sleep and stress levels. Its fall detection feature also alerts emergency contacts. Lastly, the battery is claimed to last a good 13 days.

For the music lover: Sony WH-1000XM5

Your sibling who lives inside a personal concert all the time deserves the king of headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM5s deliver an audio experience that is simply sublime, powered by what is widely considered industry-leading noise cancellation. Headphone enthusiasts simply swear by them.

These cans support High-Resolution Audio through the LDAC codec for incredible sound fidelity. A three-minute charge gives three hours of playback, while a full battery lasts a marathon 30 hours.

Plus, their minimal design won’t be going out of fashion anytime soon – possibly never. While their succeeding XM6 model is set to drop soon, those are set to be priced higher, making the XM5s a more value-for-money proposition.

For the traveller: Croma 20000 mAh Power Bank

That sibling who is always jetting off to a new destination needs a reliable power source. The Croma 20000 mAh power bank is the ultimate travel essential for someone constantly fighting a low battery warning. This brick delivers a speedy 22.5W fast charge and can juice up three gadgets simultaneously through its USB-C and dual USB-A ports.

You even get a nifty digital display that shows exactly how much power is left, so there are no surprises. Additionally, built-in protection against over-voltage and short circuits should keep their precious phone safe.

For the relaxer: Croma Back Massager Seat

If your sibling’s charm comes from their nonchalant, laid-back personality, then help them lean into that further by gifting them a slice of paradise with the Croma Back Massager Seat. This seat turns any chair into a relaxation station. It offers five massage settings and four intensity levels for a truly personalised experience.

The standout feature is its isolation massage, which can target specific trouble spots in the upper, mid, or lower back. It even includes heat therapy for the lumbar region to soothe sore muscles. But perhaps the best part is that all of this is controlled by a simple remote.

For the styling enthusiast: Philips 5000 Hair Straightener

This one is for the sibling whose hair has to be flawless for every single photo. The Philips 5000 Hair Straightener is a game-changer because it is a brush and straightener combined. It heats up in just 50 seconds and its wide 60mm brush design styles more hair in a single pass.

The bristles are infused with argan oil and keratin for a smooth, frizz-free finish. The triple-bristle design also protects the scalp from heat, making styling fast and safe.

For the cleanliness freak: Dyson V8 Absolute

You know the sibling whose flat is so clean you are afraid to breathe in it. The Dyson V8 Absolute could be their dream machine. This cordless wonder packs a digital motor that can spin at a whopping 110,000rpm to suck up every last speck of dust. Its fully sealed HEPA filtration system goes as far as even trapping microscopic allergens.

The best part is the detangling Motorbar head, which has 43 vanes that automatically clear wrapped hair from the brush. And finally, the battery lasts for 40 minutes on a full charge, which should be sufficient to cover most of the home.

For the Instagram addict: DJI Osmo Mobile 6

Every family has an aspiring influencer who documents their every move. If you think they truly have the potential, you can help them level up their content game with the DJI Osmo Mobile 6. This is a gimbal that transforms shaky phone footage into buttery-smooth cinematic shots using its 3-axis stabilisation.

ActiveTrack 6.0 technology cleverly keeps the subject perfectly in the centre of the frame, even during fast movement. It also has a built-in extension rod for epic group selfies and a clever side wheel for controlling zoom and focus. Lastly, the compact, foldable design means they can easily pop it in their bag and be ready to shoot professional-looking content any time.
