Whether they’re into fitness, styling, or music, this curated list has the perfect gifting option for every kind of sibling. So, if you’re looking for tech that looks good, works hard, and doesn’t end up in the junk drawer this Rakhi, you’ve come to the right place.

For the one who’s always stealing your hair dryer: Croma Hair Dryer

Powerful, compact, and coated in a subtle pink finish, this 2200W hair dryer doesn’t just look good, it works too. With three heat settings (including Cool Shot for that frizz-free finish), and overheat protection, it’s perfect for the sibling who styles on the go or wants salon-level finesse at home.

It’s compact enough to be travel-friendly, so your siblings have no excuse to ‘borrow’ yours anymore.

For the audiophile who hates wires: Croma TWS Earbuds with ENC

With deep bass from a 13mm driver and an astonishing 38-hour battery life, the Croma ENC TWS are quite enticing. The IPX4 rating means they’re sweat-and-drizzle resistant, which makes them perfect for gym runs or monsoon playlists.

The real kicker is Environmental Noise Cancellation support that filters out the chaos when on calls, making them a good option for meetings on-the-go.

For the ‘I-can’t-find-my-charger’ type: Croma 10000mAh 22.5W power bank

Triple output ports, universal compatibility, and up to 22.5W of fast charging power. This sleek slab of energy is basically a tech insurance policy.

With both USB-A and Type-C support, plus built-in safety features and LED indicators, it’s equal parts powerful and reliable. Your sibling can juice up their phone, earbuds, and smartwatch in one go, and maybe, just maybe, stop asking to borrow yours.

For the fitness enthusiast: Croma Velocity AM Smartwatch with Bluetooth Calling

If your sibling’s idea of cardio is scrolling endlessly, this might just be their gateway to healthier habits. The 1.78-inch AMOLED display oozes sophistication, while 100+ sports modes, 24×7 heart rate monitoring, SPO2 tracking, and even menstrual cycle tracking make it impressively holistic.

Add IP68 water resistance, Bluetooth calling, and a chic gold strap, and you’ve got a Croma smartwatch that walks the line between fashion and function.

For the college or office-goer: Croma Nova Polyester laptop backpack

This one’s not just about looks, though the minimalist design and polished finish do get points. It’s built for function. You get a padded laptop compartment (fits up to 15.6-inch laptops), quick-access front pockets, and dual bottle holders for hydration-on-the-go.

The ergonomically padded straps make it perfect for campus hauls, work commutes, or airport sprints. Durable polyester means it’s made to survive spills, scuffs, and the occasional drop (or two).

Raksha Bandhan isn’t about spending a fortune; it’s about knowing what your sibling actually needs and watching their faces light up when you gift it to them. So, whether your sibling’s into style, sound, or fitness, consider your gift sorted. Just don’t forget the rakhi.
