Sisterhood is an interesting relationship to say the least, so deciding what the best gifts for sisters are is a confusing subject. It’s just as hard as finding the perfect gift for your best friend, and a lot harder than choosing gifts for friends (yes, plural). By birth, a sister is kind of your built-in life partner and sworn enemy at the same time. That bond will go up and down, but in the end, a sister is someone who’s seen you – all of you – in every era of your life, even the really awkward phase you don’t talk about. Anyone you endured so much with is worth appreciating.
Whether it’s Hanukkah, her birthday, or you’re trying to win her back after a nasty fight, there’s a lot at stake in knocking her out of the park with the perfect gift. If you don’t, she’ll hold it over your head forever. As someone who does both is a sister and Has a sister i can speak to the fact that she or i would love any of these gifts so you know they last. (And hypothetically, should my sister see this because she’s looking for inspiration: the list is in no particular order, but I want the Prada bag, TYVM.) Below are 37 of the best gifts for your sister.
