Widening the scope
You can also pick up Rakhis for your bhabhis. Some of the best bets for bhabhi Rakhis are websites like onlinerakhiwala, flipkart and amazon. Most of these websites also offer a complete package with a silver tray, sweets and the other necessities for puja within a price range of Rs 500 to Rs 1,000.
A Contemporary Twist

Made of simple, coloured silk threads coupled with silver and adorned with gems, these Rakhis are very elegant. The website exclusively.in also has some great options.
