National Siblings Day: Startups That Can Help You Make Your Siblings Feel Extra-Special!

We can all agree that the bond between siblings is extra-special! They are our best friends and worst enemies, helping us keep a secret from mom and also tattling us out. No matter how much you fight with your sibling, they are always there to encourage and back us up, and we would not have it any other way.

A little fun fact, Siblings day was introduced by Claudia Evart of the United States. She lost both her brother Alan and sister Lisette at an early age, so he decided to dedicate this day to them. April 10 was chosen as it marked the birth anniversary of Lisette. The primary intention behind this day is to acknowledge and celebrate the bond between siblings and just have a fun day with them.

Here are 10 startups to make your siblings feel extra-special this year:

1. Ferns and Petals: What better way to celebrate than a bouquet of flowers. With ferns and petals, you can get customised flowers according to the occasion.
