My mom is gone to Pakistan for a month & I was wondering what things I can ask her to bring me back (candy, jewelery, etc). Can you give me suggestions? What types of candy/items are must haves… something you can only find there & not in Canada?
Re: Must have items from Pakistan?
I manage to get the following from Pakistan:
Desi Clothes
Some unstitched suits for gifting.
Stylish shawls for gifting
Bedsheets for regular use ( they are quite a saving actually, we get a very simple plain bedsheet for no less then £6 here , but if I get a designed bedsheet from Pakistan it costs me only £2 each )
Sauces ( I love the sauces they make in Pakistan ,Green chilli sauce , Ketchup chilli sauce , Tamarind sauce , they are so yummy )
We get some Jaggery from Pakistan too to make gur wala chawal for my husband 
yeah, thats about all I can think of ..
Re: Must have items from Pakistan?

pans and pots. Love Pakistan ones.
Clothes
cushion covers

Re: Must have items from Pakistan?
yes Pakistan definitely has some awesome choice in dinner sets and definitely saves you bucks there ..
We did get curtains from Pakistan, but found them really expensive :(
Cushions and Cushion covers is definitely a brilliant option .. these things are so expensive here ..
Re: Must have items from Pakistan?
clothes
traditional shoes...khussaz etc,but the bling stuff..heels...are awesome too.honest.
and the above stuff ofcourse,agreee with the ladies:)
Re: Must have items from Pakistan?
Are the dinner sets microwave and dishwasher safe? Do they have fine China there?
Re: Must have items from Pakistan?
Clothes ready made and un-stitched
I always buy loose Tea (Green Tea)
Hair pins (I prefer the ones you get there)

Re: Must have items from Pakistan?
When I visit Pakistan, I always get something which I can't find here or is cheaper there
For example
Tons of desi clothes especially lawn, cotton suits ..and I don't stitch them all in same size..some fitted and some lose..
Foot wear.. It's cheaper there and more variety. I always tell the owner that I am going to use it in The state so he puts some extra thing on the bottom so it's not slippery as shoes in pak are very slippery to use here
Dinner set
Bed set.
Jewelry
Re: Must have items from Pakistan?
Last time I went, my cousins and friends asked for a lot of candy. I just went to the corner candy store and brought back as many boxes as I could get.
Go Go Paan
Chocolate Paan
Coke Candy
Fanta Candy
Imli chooran (love this stuff!!!!)
Buying clothes is a must! Artificial jewellry, and shoes.
Re: Must have items from Pakistan?
There is nothing that a guy wants from Pakistan, its only women's paradise when it comes to shopping. I went to Pakistan and I couldn't even find proper styled clothing. All i found was chopped up crappy looking shirts or just shalwar kameez. There is literally NOTHING in Pakistan worth shopping for a guy.
