Dear All I am going to India for couple weeks...i want to buy something for my colleagues who are of age between 25-30. some between 50-60. Can anybody suggest what i can bring them from India? Also wants to buy something for American kids(girls) age 3, 4, 7 years. Your valuable suggestions are needed. Thanks Jasmine
Hi Jasmine, Are you very close to them? for 50-60 range peope if they are women you can gift them ethnic dupattas tops etc. I gave a few to my sisters friends in USand they were overjoyed! American girl kids you can give them colorful woodden accessories which is usually costly over there. for serious people you can try giving some things like hand crafts, warli paintings, models of kathakali/ country boat etc... these are from my experiance. Let me know if this was of help Thanks, Priya
Thanks Priya!! That really gave me an idea...... but i dont understand what are wodden accessories?? yeah they are close to me... so i really want to give them some nice things .. i like your suggestions..... If you have any, please share those as well. Thanks Jasmine
HAppyto know taht you liked my idea! Woodn accessories means wooden bangles, earrings, neck chains etc which are available in plenty in different shades. few might like paintings also.. for example a canvas painting or painted tops/Dupattas.. to get an idea of the items you can look into my posts as well!!
You can visit arts and crafts showrooms and get tiny knickknacks like wooden keychains, coasters, pen stands etc. The choice is huge. For ladies, you can gift jewellery. I once took lots of kundan sets and my friends just loved them. Even Pashmina shawls is a good option. My cousin took fancy windchimes...they looked beautiful with tiny bells and coloured fabric. There is a very huge range in paper mache stuff like calendars, photo frames, etc.these are light-weight as well. It all depends on how much baggage space you have, depending on that you can decide what you would like to gift.
