9 ways to impress your Gen Z sister and become the cool sibling!

If you are stressing out about what to gift your sibling who also happens to be a Gen Z, these tips might help you out!

No matter which generation you are from, we can all agree on one thing - the collective fear that we have for Gen Z. The now adult generation, who has graduated from being students to slogging their way into major corporate settings, Gen Z have always had their own reputation. Characterised by their behaviours or language that feels alien or even off-putting to older generations, from "the Gen Z stare" to their emphasis on setting boundaries, this generation is often misunderstood.

However, it's a different story when it comes to your siblings. As elder siblings, taking care of and satisfying younger siblings’ needs is mandatory. I don’t write this as a younger sibling but as someone who loves the attention that her elder sister gives her. While much of Gen Z may be misinterpreted, it's important for families to embrace their personalities and appreciate their unique perspectives. It's often said that this generation is hard to impress and since elder siblings often love taking on a challenge and proving the youngest wrong, surprising them by showing you listen is the best gift you can give them.

With Raksha Bandhan here, it is only fair to use the day as a learning curve. So, if you are a sibling to a Gen Z, here are a few ways in which you can impress them.

Get them a Labubu. You may not get the hype but they know the business. You never know, they can get into Labubu trading and get you a better deal!

You said, 'go touch some grass,' they heard 'have some Matcha'. So what better gift than getting them the whole set? We mean matcha tea tin, tea bowl, whisk & stand, and scoop.

Get on the 10-second fame. Agree to do that famous Instagram trend, or best, surprise them by already practising the dance beforehand.

Plan a trip, so they can vlog about it!

Pay for their therapy session while promising to go to one yourself.

Show them that you value their opinion, especially for matters they care a lot about.

Get them outfits but thrift them instead of getting them from a fast-fashion brand. This shows that you care about conscious fashion like they do. 
PS: It might stop them from stealing from your closet.

Spend a day building a community on Minecraft with them!

Take them on an immersive experience that allows them to be involved in activities like a trampoline park or mini golf.

Hope this makes you cool atleast for this Raksha Bandhan!
