Gifts for Sister

Sometimes the closer you are to someone, the harder they are to shop for—so finding a gift for your sister? It’s a lot of pressure.

You grew up together, so you know the ins and outs of her personality, her likes and dislikes. But when the calendar rolls nearer and nearer to a holiday, you might find yourself completely blank on what she’d actually want. Or worse yet, how to top last year’s gift, which also took you ages to decide. Time to take a breath. We’re here to help you brainstorm gift ideas your sister is sure to love.

Let’s look at some unique gifts even the most shopaholic of sisters have not seen before:

When warmed by a hot beverage, the mug magically reveals helpful facts of each planet in our solar system. The perfect light reading for mornings and evenings alike.
