Whether your sibling is an actual blood relative, a sister from another mister, or just like a sister to you, it's always a good time to say thank you for always being there, sis. Reasons we love our sisters: She answers your endless late-night phone calls (even on "school" nights), still covers for you with the 'rents, and is always available to help polish off a craving for boxed mac 'n' cheese.

Show your sister that you appreciate her by trading your sibling rivalry dynamics for surprise and delight vibes with these gift ideas. From a collection of travel-size self-care staples and luxurious candles to beautiful wine glasses and sparkling coasters, there's something here for the jet-setter to homebody. And in case you're wondering what's in it for you, there is definitely a thing or two worth borrowing. After all, what are sisters for?
