Get a bag or something else angraizi. Dnt think books and nijaabs are good wedding gifts. cosmetics from good brands will be a great gift actually as the ones in Pakistan aren’t that great. Perfume is a good option too. I never go wrong with perfume and it will cost you very little.

I struggle to find ones without alcohol denat-which my BIL won’t use and thus not suitable for SIL too.

She’ll get cosmetics for her Wedding. Surely more isn’t good?

I don’t quite follow the angraizi business. She’s in Pakistan. Why would I buy her something along the British lines? Sorry don’t get it.

Okay I’m gona be bold. Is this a case of people don’t like gifts that would come under the ‘religious’ tree? Is it all about getting big expensive gifts?

The best present I ever got was a drawing from my little cousin when she was 5. I got it when I was 21 and I kept it safe. The effort she put it was so sweet. I never realised how commercialised some have become.
