4. Surprise Share Childhood Recreation
Surprise your sibling by recreating a childhood memory digitally as a return Rakhi gift. For example, recreate and share your unique sibling handshake via a video.
Or recreate and dub your favorite cartoon/movie scenes from childhood on video. Such surprises will take you both down memory lane instantly.
