Siblings are linked in ways that are inextricable. Jewelry brand Alex and Ani expresses this kinship visually with this charm bangle, which extends past the point where a circle would end and creates a section of overlap. Smaller charms adorn the single-stranded part of the bangle, while a large charm hangs in the double-stranded area. That large charm says “Sister” on the front and “Woven together by unbreakable bonds” on the back.

Priceless (and payback for every time she ratted you out for underage drinking).

"I want to rip out every page of this glorious book and hang them on my wall so that I can be surrounded by these incredible women all day long," raves author Emma Straub in her blurb for "In the Company of Women."

It may serve as inspiration or affirmation that she should pursue her passion, too.

If your sister loves her sonic toothbrush, she could well feel the same way about the Echo. Created by Spa Sciences, this sonic makeup brush makes a slew of bold promises: that it leads to a faster and more even makeup application (and that makeup won't later settle into fine lines and wrinkles); that its technology uses less makeup than manual applications; and that its massage-like vibrations have anti-aging benefits. Independent lab findings support some of the claims, as do the anecdotal but glowing customer reviews.
