Questions and Answers 

What items make the best gifts for sisters? 

Before purchasing any gift, make sure that the item coincides with your sister’s interests. For example, if your sister is interested in art and decorating, these Big Mood stickers can be used to customize her laptop. Or if she likes to spend time outdoors, consider this JoGo Straw for on-the-go coffee brewing.

Logan also suggests thinking of what items your sister could most benefit from now: “If you know of something that your sister needs, get it for her,” says Logan. A gift option for her first Mother's Day, for example, can be something that helps boost her energy. “If you have one of those sisters that have it all, think of something that she can use but would never think of getting,” says Logan. Otherwise, a personalized gift that celebrates your bond is always a special gift for your sister. 

How much should you spend on a gift for your sister?

Depending on the occasion and the number of siblings you have, $50-$100 is an appropriate amount to spend on a gift for your sister. However, if you’re trying to get an inexpensive gift, consider giving your sister homemade treats, a handwritten note, or a DIY craft. For dedicated DIYers, a Cricut machine is an excellent tool for personalizing and elevating any gift.
