Wednesday, July 11, 2012, Ahmadabad, Gujarat, India: The great festival of threads is back again - Rakhi is due on 2nd of August this year, which is only a few weeks away. The markets are flooded with varieties of Rakhis everywhere in anticipation of the festival. Most sisters have started converging on local bazaars for buying the perfect Rakhi for their beloved brothers. There are millions of sisters living abroad who may not be able to return home for celebrating Rakhi in person. Online shopping has proved to be the savior for all such people stuck away from home on Raksha Bandhan. There are some really good popular online gift stores offering Rakhi delivery services to India on order. GujaratGifts.com, one of such online gift portals, has announced an Early Bird discount on all early orders of Rakhi gifts catalogue to India.

“We are now in our 15th year of service, and have been serving the NRI population since 1998.” informs Ms. Julia David, Manager of GujaratGifts.com, “this offers is an attempt to reciprocate our customers’ gratitude by way of Early Discount this year. The code to use is RKP12, while checking out.” she adds.

Online shops have proved to be much more convenient, economical, and faster in their services than many bricks and mortar stores. Online stores are also being preferred for their convenience of navigation and easy access to required items through keyword searches and neatly arranged categories. The online sale of Rakhis has grown manifold in the last few years among foreigners. “This is the most convenient medium to send Rakhis to India for NRIs as it might not be possible or feasible for them to find traditional Indian Rakhis abroad and send Rakhis to India from foreign countries to India” informs Julia.

When asked about the other features of the site, Julia informs that her company has been selling almost all the essentials for perfect celebration viz. sweets, chocolates, gifts and other tidbits. “We have arranged a wide range of Rakhis to India this year such as Diamond Rakhi, Auspicious Rakhi, Pearl Rakhi, and many more. There are some special pairs of Bhaiya Bhabhi Rakhis and special Lumba Rakhi for women.” she adds.

The trend of online shopping is growing at a rapid pace, not only among NRIs but among locals too. People often try to avoid the hassle of traffic, parking, and postal hassle and prefer to place their orders online instead. “This also saves money” ends Julia.
