Best Fun Gifts for Your Adult Sister

Updated on November 9, 2018

There are so many directions you can go - sweet and sentimental gifts, cute and funny gifts and useful things she probably would not buy for herself. I hope you enjoy getting inspiration for that perfect sister gift. I certainly had fun putting this together for you while wishing I had a sister to give these to.

My friends are going to benefit from this because now I have some great ideas and I am sure to surprise them one of these days.

Ways To Be Together Even When You Are Not

Mark My Words Sister Mug, 4-3/4-Inch, 20-Ounce Capacity

We grow up and build our own lives. Perhaps you live close by, but perhaps you and your sister are too far away to sit together for coffee in each other's kitchens and you miss having her near. Skype can let you have a chat over a cup of coffee (or soup in a mug) and it can be fun to have her sit before you sipping from a sister-mug you bought just for her. And if you don't Skype, then you will know that she has a part of you next to her every time she drinks from this cup. This mug has a whimsical and lighthearted design. Most reviews on Amazon showed that recipients loved the mug and that it is much more beautiful in real life than in the photo. The only problem some people indicated was that some of the writing got lost in the florals and vines. The mug comes in a few different colours. When you click on this product, you can browse around and look at other mugs with a sister theme. Perhaps there is something that would please you more than this one.
 

A Touching Statue That Expresses What You Feel

Susan Lordi has a way of expressing family sentiment and love so simply yet elegantly. Look at the casual way these two sisters are walking and holding hands - a simple everyday kind of scene that evokes a deep sense of intimacy and affection. If this is what you feel toward your sister, she will be greatly touched to receive this gift from you. It is not expensive and arrives gift-wrapped. Every time she sees this figure it will surely bring a smile to her face. There is a selection of Lordi statues from which you can choose so you can find the one that exactly expresses how you feel about her.
 

Give Your Sister A Cute Gadget That Will Make Her Smile

Who can resist smiling when you pick up one of these little kitchen helpers? It may be hard to know who will like it more - your sister or one of her kids or grandchildren or nieces/nephews. If it is the latter, your sister will be pleased to have something fun for the kids when preparing meals and if she has a good sense of humour, she will always think of you with a chuckle when she uses one of the utensils you picked out for her. Clicking on either of these two products will bring you to pages on Amazon with more choices for fun gifts of this kind.

The grip on the monkey peeler is great and, while peeling potatoes and other vegetables is never fun, at least your sister will smile and think of you as she sets about to do this task.After all, even when we are all grown up, we are not so different from how we were as kids. And kids like to laugh and have fun, right?

The piranha pizza cutter works wonderfully and cuts more than just pizza. It makes pizza night a little more fun - and her kids (or grandkids) will get a kick out of helping slice up the pizza or grilled cheese sandwiches. Not all wheel cutters work well and I found that this one was excellent.
 

What Happens With the Sisters Stays With the Sisters

T-shirts are a fun gift. This one is a particularly cheerful design. You probably have a secret or two that you and your sister share. Why not show everyone how close you are now or were once by letting the world know there are things you are not saying to anyone but each other.

Zazzle, the site on which this t-shirt is found, has a number of different designs so you might want to browse if this particular item is not exactly what you are looking for. Open the page by clicking on the Zazzle link below the photo. You will be taken to the product page -- at the top of that page, you will see a search square with the words "sister t-shirt". Click the search symbol and you will be taken to a page with over 50,000 different sister shirts. To make it easier for yourself, click on the button labelled "for her" to get to a collection of shirts for adults rather than designs for children.

What If Your Relationship Is Strained?

If your relationship with your sister is not easy and openly loving as you wish it would be, I suggest you be careful about giving cards that are too sentimental. You wouldn't want to think she is guffawing at your gushy card or making fun of your loving poem behind your back - something that is possible if she does not feel particularly loved by you, or loving toward you, at this stage of your relationship.

In this case, keep the wording simple and upbeat. Perhaps mention that you are looking forward to better days ahead. And that you are ready to get together and work through all that is keeping you from establishing the adult sister relationship that would surely be an important resource for both of you. After all, nobody else has had a childhood as closely similar as you have and that means that there is a bond that is different from all other human relationships on earth. It would be s a shame not to do something to make it work.
