In India, there is no shortage of ideas for souvenirs and gifts to bring back from a trip. So, don't hesitate to visit the local shops and markets to make some nice finds during your stay.

Spices and tea

India, a little paradise for gourmets, is a destination with a thousand flavors and colors. Moreover, you will find many condiments and spices. For you lovers of spicy food, don't miss a visit to Kerala. This state is known for these delicious spices. You can easily find them in the vicinity of Periyar National Park. On the stalls of the merchants, you will see turmeric, cardamom, ginger, cloves and many more. Apart from spices, you will have no trouble buying good quality tea when you trip to India. Indeed, this country is famous for its Darjeeling and Nilgiri tea. Therefore, make a trip to these places if you want to bring some back to your loved ones or consume some once you get home. Finally, to enhance your future pastry creations, vanilla from India would be ideal. So, buy a few pods of it during your stay.

Clothing, jewellery and accessories

For you women, you will have the opportunity to find some fashion items during your trip to India. In this area you will find clothes, accessories and jewellery for all tastes. Above all, don't miss out on buying silk to flesh out an evening gown once you return from your stay. As for accessories, you will see a multitude of them in the cities of Rajasthan. The flagship products are mainly made with leather. So, don't hesitate to treat yourself to a beautiful bag and custom-made sandals during your stay in Udaipur. For your information, the leather used usually comes from sheep or goats. So, be wary of merchants who guarantee that the items they sell are made of camel leather. Finally, don't forget to debate to get a small discount on prices, because in India, everything is negotiable.

Handicrafts and original gifts

Apart from spices, tea and fashion items, you will find various original gifts for your loved ones during your trip to India. As an interior design, for example, you can invest in blown glass lamps for your friends. You can easily find them in the bazaars of Delhi. Of course, these handmade lamps are not easy to put in the suitcase, but their design is definitely worth it. In addition, you are welcome to go to the Chor Bazaar, located in Mumbai, if you are an antique lover. This place is full of ancient artifacts. Moreover, you will not fail to see many vintage decorative items. The same goes for bollywood movie posters that will delight fans of the 7th art. Of course, you won't be able to fit all these beautiful finds in your luggage. Nevertheless, you will keep a lasting memory of the moments spent in the typical Indian markets.
