No matter how much we may fight, manipulate, and get each other into trouble all the time, our siblings are our family and we love them from the bottom of our hearts. After all, we have grown up with them right from the beginning or held them in our hands the moment they were born. They can be our best friends at times and our worst enemies too but the important thing is that they are always there to motivate us, and the most important of all, to embarrass us. The bond, however, is always the strongest.
This occasion actually began in the United States by Claudia Everheart. She lost her brother and sister in 1995 at a very young age. Realising their importance in our lives, she created this holiday to honour them and show them she will love them forever. In India too, we have respected and celebrated the bond between a brother and sister for a very long time. The Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan where a sister ties a rakhi on her brother’s hand symbolising the promise of how she will always protect her brother, one which the brother reciprocates as well.
We all have different ways to celebrate our bond with our siblings. We take each other out for a meal, give them something they have wanted for a long time as a gift, catch up with them, or simply laugh and fight with them on silly things and past events. But on this National Siblings Day, we at Things2do have come up with a whole list of activities and ways to spend the day to make it one none of you will ever forget, yes they’re better than siblings day quotes. Don’t worry because for all of you only children, we have something in store for you as well!

2Time to Make Your Own Perfume!
You know how much you and your siblings love fragrances. Your cupboards and dressing tables are just overflowing with perfume and deodorant bottles that you probably have bought for each other over the years, of which you might not be a fan of some of the fragrances. On that note, pun intended, why not engage in an activity where you and your siblings can make your own! Take part in a perfume-making masterclass with an expert who teaches you all the essentials of making your new favourite fragrance while your home is decorated to give a vibe consistent with the calming fragrances. It is also a chance to play a prank on your siblings but hey, the details of that are up to you.
