Neon Didi keychain

On the neon name keychain

The return gift from a brother to his sister. The outline lettering looks like a small neon sign, and it works just as well with her name.

His bike's number plate

On the number plate keychain

A keychain copy of the brother's bike or car plate. Buyers understand it at once, and it suits brothers who are hard to shop for.

Who buys Rakhi gifts

Sisters buy something small to send with the rakhi, and brothers buy a gift in return. Cousins, and families with several children, buy in sets. A lot of the buying happens online and across cities, because siblings often live apart and post the rakhi ahead of the day.

The gift has to be small, personal and quick to post. Keychains fit all three, which is why they sell well for this festival.

How to offer it

Run two offers side by side: "for Bhaiya" and "for Didi". For brothers, a number plate keychain of his bike or car, or a keychain with Bhaiya in Devanagari. For sisters, a neon name keychain with her name or Didi. Show a matching pair in one photo, since many buyers order both for the family.

Ask the buyer for the exact name or plate number, the script they want and the delivery address in one message. Send an approval picture before printing, especially for number plates, where one wrong letter spoils the gift.

Rakhi tips

Share your posting cut-off date early, with extra days for other cities.
Check plate numbers character by character with the buyer.
Offer the Devanagari and English versions side by side in your posts.
Pack each keychain flat so it fits in an envelope with the rakhi.
Group sibling sets together and print them on the same bed.

More ideas for small gifts are in the keychains range.

Questions

When should I open Rakhi orders?

Open them a few weeks ahead. Many sisters post the rakhi to another city, so they need the gift early. Set a last order date that leaves time for printing and the post.

Can I ship the keychain with the rakhi?

Yes, keychains are small and light, so they fit in an envelope or small box with the rakhi. Offer to pack and post them together if you sell rakhis too.

Which colours work for Rakhi gifts?

Bright colours like red, orange, yellow and gold match the festival. For number plate keychains, follow the colours of a real plate so the gift looks right.

How should I price Rakhi gifts?

Keep single keychains at an easy price and offer a sibling pair or a set for cousins at a small saving. Our guide to pricing personalised prints explains how to work out the cost of each piece.
