Online Gifts to India with Local Flavour!



I have first generation and second generation Indians living around me in the US. Most of them settled here 20 to 40 years ago. The Facebook frenzy has helped them to explore their India connections. As they bond again with their Indian relatives and friends, they also come to me to ask about how to Send Gifts to India online.

Whether you want to Send Birthday Gifts to India, celebrate successes, marriage anniversaries, or festivals, there are some thumb rules that you can use to choose an appropriate gift for an Indian:
 
  • Remember, what defines India, Indian state, and city where your relative or friend stays. All Indians love ethnic items. A married woman in India living in a Tier II or a Tier III city would most probably wear sarees. If this woman is from North India, Benarasi saree (or probably a cheaper saree with that look) will certainly be appreciated. Silks and Kanjivaram sarees are more popular in the South. If this woman lives in a growing metropolitan city, she might prefer salwar-suits. Depending on the weather of the area, you can send her either a cool comfortable cotton suit or a silk suit which is more suitable for winters.
  • Besides the dressing sensibilities of the people of the region, you can also explore the overall environment of the place. People from a holy city like Varanasi, Haridwar, or Ajmer, think of idols and religious icons as harbingers of good fortune. People from Goa, known for its musical culture, may prefer a CD player.

Next time you send Online Gifts to India, you can use these tips to bring a smile to the faces of your friends and relatives.
