Gift for your brother-in-law: what to give jiju, a saala or a devar, and when a candle is the right call

A brother-in-law gift should be friendly, not personal. For jiju or a devar setting up his own home, Vanilla Reverie (Rs 549), a vanilla candle in an amber jar, or a navy Spiral Pillar (Rs 179) for his desk. For a gadget-lover, buy the gadget.

Key takeaways

Jiju, saala and devar are three relationships; choose for each one.
A gift for jiju is also a gift for your sister's home.
Do not compete on price: a Rs 549 jar with a funny note beats an expensive watch.
If he wants a gadget or a jersey, buy that instead of a candle.

Three different brothers-in-law

In English it is one word. In an Indian family it is three relationships, and each needs a different gift:

Jiju (your sister's husband): teased, fed, and given the best chair. A gift for him is also a gift for your sister, so it should suit their home.
Saala (your wife's brother): often younger, often in a hostel or a first job. Something casual.
Devar or jeth (your husband's brother): you are new to his family, or he is new to yours. Something correct and friendly.

Raajkosh hand-pours soy wax candles in Jalandhar. A candle is not the gift for every brother-in-law, and we will say when it is not.

When a candle works for him

It works for the brother-in-law who has just moved into a new flat, who keeps a tidy desk, who enjoys a calm room after work, or for jiju when the gift is really for his and your sister's home. It does not work for a man who wants a gadget, a cricket jersey, a bottle or a gaming voucher; buy those from the right shop.

Jiju deserves a special mention

Searches for a "special gift for jiju" usually come from a younger sister- or brother-in-law who wants to make a good impression, often on a student's budget. Two honest pieces of advice:

Do not compete on price. Jiju will be embarrassed by an expensive gift from a younger sibling. A Rs 549 jar with a funny note beats an expensive watch.
Make it a joke he is in on. "For the man who survived our family's Diwali" on the gift note will be repeated at every function for a year.

To put "Jiju" or his name on the tag itself, a custom enquiry on our custom orders page does that. We reply with what is possible, a timeline and a price.

Occasions for a brother-in-law gift

His birthday, Diwali, Bhai Dooj in families where jiju is included, his first visit after the wedding, a new job, or a new home. For jiju and didi's anniversary, give one gift to both of them; our anniversary gift for bhaiya bhabhi or didi jiju page covers that.

What men usually get instead

Perfume sets, wallets, belts, watches, grooming kits, dry fruits and gadgets are the usual brother-in-law gifts, and leather brands, electronics stores and gifting portals do them well. If he would use one of those, buy it. A candle is for the man who would not buy one for himself but will light it every evening once he has one.

Sending it to him, prepaid

We deliver across India, dispatching in 24 to 48 hours and delivering 2 to 7 days after dispatch; order early and check the delivery estimate for his pincode on the product page. Payment is prepaid only (UPI, card, net banking or wallet); there is no cash on delivery. Optional gift packaging and a gift note are on the product page. Shop orders can be returned on a request within 24 hours of delivery, and damage reported within 24 hours is replaced or refunded.

Tell him the rule for any candle: a stable, heat-proof surface, never unattended, and keep each burn to 3 to 4 hours.
