India is a country of festivals and soon we will be celebrating Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi), the festival where the sister ties a band on the wrist of the brother as a form of a bond.
Gifts are a core part of the festival, and if you’re still searching for something, we’ve got your back! We’ve compiled a list of gadgets that one can use in day-to-day life, to cover all kinds of budgets, be it an audio accessory or a smartwatch.
If your sibling is a fitness freak or is trying to achieve a fitness goal, a tracker makes absolute sense. The Mi Band 2 comes with an OLED display, simply lift your wrist to see the time and tap the button for steps and heart rate. The improved pedometer algorithm is good at filtering out unnecessary movements as well.
It is durable and resistant against water splashes, sweat, cosmetics, dust, and more. The glossy black display is UV-coated and resistant to scratches and fingerprints. It also has a new wristband design which is made of more skin-friendly material and doesn’t slip out of your hands easily. The best part is the battery life, a single charge will last you at least a month.

The new Instax camera from Fujifilm has been recently launched in India and is highly recommended for everyone who loves the vintage feel along with the nostalgia of ‘polaroids’. The camera has three shooting modes – double exposure mode, macro mode and landscape mode. It also has a selfie mode and you can check the capture area of your selfie in a mirror next to the lens.
The film takes around 90 seconds to fully develop and the camera also features a 10-second delay timer. While Instagram and its square photos today are the norms, nothing beats having a physical copy of the Instax and marking it with a pen.

Reading is one of the most constructive hobbies one can have, and we all know that sibling who’s always reading, and making life slightly more difficult for us. Well, the best gift for bookworms is a Kindle.
A Kindle e-book reader not only can carry around hundreds of books, its battery life lasts days and days to come. The best part is, the display is a special e-ink panel that does not generate backlights like an LCD or an AMOLED, hence you can read for an hour and hours without straining your eyes.
