What to Shop in India?

All over India makeshift markets line streets. Paan-sellers dot market corners, villages have busy market-days, deserted mountain trails boast lone tea-stalls that count as a whole settlement, and city roads all lead to snazzy malls! While shopping has always been big for Indians, as current trends go, â€˜Indianâ€™ is now big in shopping.
Ethnic chic, glitz and kitsch, whether itâ€™s clothes, carpets or clutter, if itâ€™s Indian, itâ€™s in! To name a little that could fill your bags: Kashmiri carpets that rival Persian rugs or rugged durries of natural fibre in vibrant colours and rural motifs. Perfumes extracted from the sweetest of flowers, opulent silks and block-printed cotton. Beads and trinkets, silver and gold, mirror-work Rajasthani skirts, tie-and-dye, inexpensive leather ware, and statues in metal or stone.
Look out for the bright red, yellow, green and blue handloom from the â€˜seven sistersâ€™ in the Northeast; Karnataka Bidriware (silver inlay on blackened white metal); Kanjeevaram and Benaras saris with gold woven into multihued silks; beads, bangles and other ornaments everywhere; shell craft, pretty sandals, kurta and pyjamas at Delhiâ€™s designer shops, brass from UP, bronze in the south; Darjeeling tea, and Coorg coffee.

There are tons of things to buy from India. It depends on what your budget is and where you are located. Sandalwood products, wood carving, handicrafts (in general), silk Saree's and dupattas, Indian sweets, and Jewellery.

Did you know India makes the thinnest watches in the world? The Titan Edge range. Buy it !! Its a great gift for one and all.
