Add Tailor Size Guide as a preferred source on GoogleRaksha Bandhan is a gifting festival, which makes sizing the central challenge — most buyers are shopping for a sibling, not themselves. Here's how to package gift-ready apparel and remove the size guesswork that drives Rakhi returns.
Rakhi Gifting Plays
| Offer | Who it targets | Sizing tip |
|---|---|---|
| Kurta gift sets | Sister buying for brother | Show men's chest/length chart |
| Sibling combos | Matched outfits | Gift-size selector |
| Gift cards | Unsure of size | Removes return risk |
| Express delivery | Last-minute buyers | Publish cutoff date |
Notes
Sell gift cards as a sizing safety net. When the buyer doesn't know the recipient's size, a gift card converts the sale without the return risk. Promote it explicitly as the 'don't know their size?' option.
Make gift sizing easy. Offer a simple size guide framed for gifters ('not sure? here's how to pick'), and make exchanges effortless so a wrong-size Rakhi gift becomes a quick swap, not a refund.
FAQs
How do I sell apparel as Raksha Bandhan gifts?

How do I handle gift returns for wrong sizes?
Offer easy size exchanges rather than refunds, and consider gift receipts. Since Rakhi buyers often guess the recipient's size, a smooth exchange flow protects both the sale and the relationship.
