India's link to UK is as old as hill; in mid-18th century, East India Company began to rule over some provinces of India. And then everything they did went down in history. Coming to the present: there are many Indians living in UK as citizens and also as immigrants; but never for a moment they have distanced themselves from Indian soil and their roots.

Celebrations of all festivals bear testimony to the fact that Indians in UK have held their Indianness even today. For example Rakhi 2012 brings lot of joy and cheer in Indian families in UK. They exchange rakhi gifts among themselves and also send rakhi gifts to India. In return, their Indian cousins send rakhi gifts to UK. This give-and-take has strengthened the ties between the two countries.

Every year Rakhi brings the two clans together through online shopping portals – new phenomena that can accelerate the process of sending and receiving rakhi gifts. Now Indians from India can send rakhi to UK and receive gifts & rakhi from UK.

Infibeam updates a dedicated store for rakhi gifts every year so that Indians from both sides can send and receive rakhi and rakhi gifts. Check out a collection of rakhis, rakhi thalis, rakhi hampers, rakhi sweets and rakhi return gifts for sisters.

It is difficult to get rid of some bonds and Raksha Bandhan is one of those holy bonds that bind brothers and sisters into an eternal friendship. Many would counter this new term that is associated with brother-sister relation. But the fact is that the new generation of siblings has given a new meaning to this age-old tie; the shell of formality around this relationship is shattered by more casual manners adopted of late. For example, earlier we could hardly notice any brother-sister pair talking about their respective love interests; now, both have shed qualms and enjoy freewheeling conversation about their love affairs.

While this is just one observation on this relationship, there can be many other examples to prove this point. Here I don’t want to go deep into those changes; rather would like to explore how this festival is celebrated.

As mentioned above, the new generation has come of the age and hence, their festival celebrations are different than they used to be two decades ago. Here I am talking about those siblings who are geographically living spaced out but emotionally close; a sister is living far off and brother is in India or the other way round. Such siblings use online shopping portals and use rakhi offers and rakhi deal to buy gifts and rakhi. The same portals also ensure that the gifts and rakhi purchased are delivered on time. This double advantage lures consumers visit the e-commerce portals frequently.

Moreover, these portals launch lucrative rakhi gift offers for customers and who wouldn’t like to get offers on rakhi gifts? So what are you waiting for? Visit Infibeam.com; buy rakhi gifts online and avail rakhi 2012 offers!

A brother is a friend given by Nature. The statement written by a French dramatist Jean Baptiste Legouve is true even today. Traditionally, brothers and sisters have never been able to behave like friends in India; however, with modern values began to be accepted by urban India, the old school of beliefs has meekly switched its attention to other issues. Earlier it was difficult for a brother and sister to ride a bike together; going for a picture was a strict no-no from parents. Today, many brothers and sisters are spotted near hang-out zones like multiplexes or entertainment park; thanks to the new wave of understanding among families, who have allowed their kids to behave like true friends.

Though our modern brothers and sisters have grown to take each other as friend, Raksha Bandhan is a festival when they cherish the traditional values and celebrate this festival with enthusiasm. A little change in gift-giving has been noticed by retailers – rakhi gifts for brothers. Surprising but true that now sisters also send rakhi gifts for brother, who, till the date, had to shell out many bucks after shopping rakhi gifts for her sister.

A popular belief is that return gift is normally given to a person who gifts us something. But on Raksha Bandhan, brothers give rakhi return gifts to their sisters when the latter send them rakhi. I was little surprised to know this from my colleagues, who explained that almost 80% netizens use this term – and they are using it right. So what's the big deal if I didn’t know this term; from now, I will be one of those 80% net users.

But now the question is: what are the best rakhi return gifts for sister? Well, if my netizen-friends do not know this, they have wasted their hours in cyber-cafes or at home surfing the net waves.

Rakhi is a festival when gifting is gratifying; it doesn’t matter whether you are older or younger than your sister, a gift always makes you feel grown-up.
