    Hi All

    It’s shopping time! Please give me some suggestions what all the best gift we can get from US to India. I am not much good in shopping. I would welcome all the suggestions. Let it be electronics, food, home, dress or any other goodies. Which is really good to take from US to INDIA.

    Quality/variety / we get it here but not in India/ we can consider all these matters.


    1. Best gift from US to India for parents, kids and teens


    PS. My in-laws are here and they are in their 60s. So my main motto is to shop for them. I think this topic will help everyone :) as it’s a very common scenario :)

    I mostly do dry fruits for the older folks ( prunes, plums , apricots)
    Candies , bath and body works/ Victoria secret gift sets ,hand sanitizer, lip balms.
    Hand bags ( cross body bags are a big hit with the younger crowd), . T shirts / shirts for the men. Don't give perfumes anymore, people are particular about brands etc.
    Have fun shopping !!

    Wushthof knives and knife sharpener can help in great heights with your mom in kitchen:) They are little costly, but definitely serve your kitchen long:)

    My favorites are branded watches, handbags (totes & crossbody, depending on who it is for), fashion jewelry, body lotions, plush throws, winter jackets, fleece jackets, makeup, all kinds of nuts esp pecans (since they don't get it there), sometimes home decor even fancy tablecloths , electronics , kids toys & clothing.

    We normally go to India in dec/Jan, so we shop big during Black Friday.

    Isn't that risky carrying knives that too super sharp ones?

    Yes, you would be fine carrying them in checked in luggage with proper packing & getting them inspected prior.. just checked the rules..

    here's the rules for anyone interested in carrying them

    Knife Carrying Restrictions on Aircraft
