Self-defence classes 

For any brother, who wishes to really gift something meaningful to his sister, there is nothing better than sponsoring a ‘self-defence’ training programme for her. There is no better way to deal with an unwarranted situation than face it boldly. The girls should be capable of fixing a punch on the face. There are many specialised schools and women associations which impart such training, also online programmes are available on various websites (do some recce for your loved one).  Try looking for it in some well-known gyms too.

Pepper Spray

This must-have self-protection spray needs to be in every girl’s bag to keep troublemakers at bay. This can be used as a self-help tool in emergency situations, as it causes inflammation and the eyes tend to close, taking away vision for some time. This temporary blindness allows the attacker to lose track of the entire condition. Also, using pepper spray for self-defence is the easiest way to escape. It is easily available at various chemist shops, but in case you find yourself at a loss, there are many online websites offering it at a reasonable price. Go buy it now for your sister!

This brush is made from Zytel and can work as a dagger. You can place an online order now for your sister’s beauty cum safety measures.

Stun guns (Taser)

This unusual and peculiar gift item can actually be an effective self-help tool for girls in distress. The idea of stun guns in very popular in the West, and is slowly catching up in India as well. The stun gun also known as Taser, works in such a fashion that it generates electric shock every time it’s used. Interestingly, this makes the attacker lose consciousness for about half an hour so, making way for the victim to run away. Time plays a pivotal role in such unwanted situations and this gift can come in handy. These are easily available on various online e-commerce portals and can be ordered at a reasonable price tag.

The fact that this pure sibling revelry shall always remain untouched by any evil is a bigger gift than anything else. So, stand up for your sister this ‘Raksha Bandhan’ and make her feel doubly assured that thou shall stay protected forever and ever!
