Gifts from Pakistan

Hangout GupShup Cafe

Anytime family comes here to America, I shudder at the thoughts of what gifts I’m going to get. They always ask, and I always say, don’t send anything.

But they still do.

They’re not very rich, and so they’ll send the cheapest crap ever…and I’ll be like…honestly?

If I say jewelry (artificial) - they’ll send karay that are meant for a 3 yr old. I don’t know what the going rates in Pakistan are anymore, but honestly, just don’t send anything if you can’t afford it.

They keep insisting, and so before they bring something retarded yet again, I gave them a list of cd’s (even though I can download this junk).

What do you guys ask for from Pakistan?

I’m not asking for clothes this time, because again, they screw up by sending me cheap crap, and I end up never wearing it. We strictly told them no clothes this time. I haven’t even worn all the clothes I had made.

Mama not everone has time or spare cash to go to Pakistan just to make a wardrobe. Until another baby is born, I have no reason to go back there.

Ask for mithahi. Just tell them that Aunty/Uncle .. yahan har cheez mil jaate hai, bu achchi mithai nahi milti ... it will be easy on their budget too.

Re: Gifts from Pakistan

can they carry mithai in their luggage? I thought it was an issue now because of threats to international security.

they are not too expensive, there is no issue with fit or fabric or style
