17 Gifts To Get Your Sister This Year (That You’ll Also Want For Yourself)

by Brittany Bennett

I have two sisters, and they're basically built in best friends. Sure, we grew up tip toe-ing out of each other's rooms with a stolen item of clothing in tow. But that's sisters, right? You love each other so much that you love what they love too. Including that denim jacket that happens to look good on all of you. There are a number of unique gifts for your sister this holiday season, but you might just find that you'll also want them for yourself. And so shortly thereafter your sister unwraps her gift, you might just be tip-toeing out of the room once again with it.

As much as we (read: I) want all of the things our sisters own, they're entitled to their own possessions. Ugh. I mean — great! Even though siblings typically share the same features and characteristics and styles as each other, at the end of the day we're all our own individual, unique person. Which is why your sister deserves something that's all about her. So try — if you can — to resist taking the very gift you gave your sister this holiday season and let her enjoy it. At least for a little bit before you go undercover on a James Bond style mission to retrieve it from her room.

Personalized Family Mugs
