What thank-u-gifts to take to India for 18-22year olds?

eater · Sep 5th, 2004, 06:23

In mumbai we now have cousins etc all grown up.

They were 10-12yr old when we last saw them, now 20-22yrs.

Could members please suggest the kind of presents/gifts/thank-you, items we could take (for them and their parents) that they would love...they have never been out of India.....

T-shirts with local Canadian flavor should go over well. It's something they can wear and impress their friends with.

It depends on your budget and your relationship.

Chocolates, biscuits, cheese and foodstuff are always appreciated.

You could also carry a digital camera or a digital diary or a Discman or a GSM handset or DVDs of Hollywood films or items of clothing like a T-Shirt, etc., if you know the right size.
