Ideas for gifts to India

for elders we can also get compartmented medicine boxes...i got such boxes for my grandparents when i went to india...you get them at the dollar stores..
this would be of help to them as they needn't have to struggle to search for the medicines each time...arrange the medicines for a week and get done!

Hi, I am planning to visit India next month. I am from Maharashtra. I have 2 year old son. We are going to visit India after 3 years. We have so many relatives & friends in India. I want to give gifts mostly to all of them. Please suggest some ideas. And what things we should take with us while traveling with 2 year old son? Please help me.

Hi Padma! i think you should buy chocolates for the kids and dry fruits for elder people. And for youngster buy some electronic gadgets like i-pods for boys and for girls buy makeup products.

hi

what about small earrings or semi precious stones or pearls etc which come during sale?

Dear Coolguy
Take in door games which attracts your son block buildings smaller size and comics books (while traveling) For colouring some drawing books etc. I hope you can manage with the food.

If you have a wholesale store like "Costco" or "savers" you can get lotions and creams and perfumes in 3/6 bulk packs. People in india love cookies too! You can also try stores like marshalls, tjmaxx and ross for makeup, scarves, hangbags for little girls in your family.
