When traveling to India, one question most of my friends in the US ask is, what should they be buying to India? What gifts should they be buying to their friends and family in India? I’ve asked myself this question during my initial days in the US. I still remember the first time when I was trying to squeeze in everything possible into my suitcase when I over-packed and the airline refused to accept my luggage. I send some stuff back home but learned a lesson. So when my friends ask what to buy from the USA to India, I have a lot to say.
First off, if you have been in the US for some time and are now traveling back to India after a long time, understand that things might have changed back home. India’s growth is incredible and when you are here in the US, you don’t really know what’s happening back there. You tend to miss the trends, the new culture, and social demands because you could be stuck in time.
I’ve seen this happen to a few of my friends. When they arrived in USA on a student or work visa, they embraced capitalism but the idea of India in their heads froze. When they went back to India after 10+ years, they were shocked to see the difference. India had changed in her culture, looks, infrastructure, and makeup. Some of my friends complained about why they didn’t like the change while some struggled to catch up.
Anyways, if you are planning your return trip (or visit) to India, I strongly urge you to shake off your idea of how India would be, from the time you boarded the plane and check the ground reality. Because if you are going to buy things from the USA to India, you better make sure you live up to the expectations of your folks back in India.
Things to keep in mind before buying things from USA to India
Before we get into what things you can buy to India, let’s look at some things to keep in mind.
Make a list
First off, create a wishlist of things you want to buy. This could be stuff that you wanted or think your friends might want, back in India. Go ahead and write them down, make it as extensive as possible. Go ahead, don’t worry, we won’t be buying all of these things, but it’s part of the exercise.
Split the list in to gift and non-gift items
From the main list you created, find out how many you will gift and how many you will not. You might want to separate them based on whom you will gift to. For ex: List for family members, list for friends and list for relatives.
Put a budget
Now, put a budget towards your shopping list. You know exactly what this is for, so I’m not going to explain. 🙂
Now, that you have a list for your friends, family and others you have a pretty solid idea about what you need, how many are going to be gift items and how much money you are going to spend.
Now, here is a list of things you could buy from USA to India.
1. Apple Macbook Pro (Price difference up to $500)
I strongly suggest you buy a Macbook when going to India, and the reasons are many.
Apple products including the iPhone and Macbooks are priced at exorbitantly high prices in India and not many can afford them.
At the same time, most young folks know and understand the value of Apple products that they wish for it badly. India has a tech-savvy young crowd, which uses and understands the latest technology like nobody else. Apple Macbook can be used by young folks in your family or your business friend, so it’s a guarantee. But before buying one, take care of the following points as well.
Macbooks are right on top of things to buy from the USA to India, and a safe bet as well.
– Buy a universal power plug adapter (~$10) because the flat pin charger of your USA-made Macbook won’t fit in Indian power plugs. You don’t want to be disappointed later, getting stuck with an un-usable Macbook.
– Ensure there is an international warranty on your Macbook so that if it gets faulty, its owner in India doesn’t have to ship it back to the USA.
– Find out who will be the authorized repair guy for Apple in your area in India.
2. Branded Watches (Cheaper)
Branded watches like the ones from Fossil, Kenneth Cole etc are cheaper in the US. In India, they tend to be slightly costlier (if at all available), especially for the expensive ones.
For example, Fossil ME 3078 Analog watch, is priced at USD 245 on Amazon.com and at USD 284 on Flipkart.com. This price difference will be higher as you go up into the more expensive categories. If you can grab any of these branded watches during a black friday sale, you will be saving even more.
Update: Smart Watches
There are a lot more smartwatch options in the US than in India, and many of them are comparatively cheaper than in India.
Example: Fitbit
3. Kitchen Utensils (High quality stuff from USA)
When it comes to quality, the US has some of the best brands available for cheap since it is the standard. Go to Ikea or even a store like Macy’s and get some kitchen utensils.
Anything like steel utensils, ceramic vessels, small appliances are all good. The thing is, they are cheaper in the USA and you get good quality stuff. If you are going for dinner sets or baking items, even better, because you get good quality brands at better prices than in India.
4. Super Foods like Quinoa seeds, Chia Seeds
These days, you can find some of these superfoods in some high-quality Indian supermarkets but they are hard to find. I recommend buying a few small packets of these as gifts for your family and friends. They are unique, exclusive, and not expensive. Make sure you buy good brands so the quality is good.
5. iRobot Roomba Vaccum Cleaner
I agree that not all electronic gadgets in USA are cheaper compared to India, but if you ignore the price point, there are some electronic gadgets in the USA that are still not available in India. For example the iRobot Roomba Vaccum Cleaner. It is not available in India as of now and will be a great value add for any household. It helps folks keep your house clean without any labor and many people will consider it a flashy, show-off item (lol). You need to have wooden or solid surface floors, which is common in India.
6. Men’s Jackets (For friends)
Men’s winter jackets, especially from brands like NorthFace are really good for Indian winters. Unfortunately, you won’t find them in Indian markets. Whatever you can find in India either will be of cheaper quality or really expensive. If your native place in India has winters, then buying a few men’s jackets under $30 will be a good idea. You could gift it to your friends or elders in the family.
7. Automatic Diabetes Testing Kits ( For elder folks)
If you have elders in the family back home in India, who are Diabetes patients, this can be a nice gift to them. In the USA, you’ll find several top-quality blood sugar testing systems that are unavailable in India. A popular brand like Active 1st will only cost about $30 on Amazon, which cannot be bought in India. This will be an exclusive item when you got to India and great value for those diabetes patients in your family.
8. Audio Headphones (Big difference!)
If you have any young folks in your family or friends list, then this is a must-have. Beats Audio headphones are super popular with young folks and are difficult to get in India. Beats Wireless, Over the Ear, Audio Headphones are available from Amazon while the same headset will cost about $500+ from India. Beats, like the Apple brand, is well known for its aesthetics and superior sound quality. Also, every young Indian knows the brand so well, that it will be a great value add to whoever owns one. I strongly suggest buying one when you’re going to India from USA.
Recommended: Get the Sony WH1000XM3 – I bought it from USA for $349 and it’s so much better than the Bose Quiet Comfort 2.
9. Perfumes (Difference up to $100)
If you are looking to please the women folk back in India, splurge yourself and grab a couple of bestseller perfumes from the USA. The USA has a great variety of perfumes to purchase, and at great prices too. Some of them are now available in India but the price will double up. My personal recommendation is to buy smaller bottles and carry different brands rather than buy one or two big volume bottles of fewer brands. Trust me, there’s going to be a lot of demand once you reach home back in India, so carry enough perfumes. Nothing is enough btw.
Note: If you are traveling via Dubai, Dubai Duty-Free also has many of the brands available.
10. Sunglasses
Who doesn’t like to have a sunglass gifted? In USA, there are probably more sunglass brands available than the whole world. You will never run out of options. Either visit your local sunglasses store at the nearest mall or hop on to Amazon and you’ll find many top brand sunglasses available for deals. An all-original Aviator-type sunglass from RayBan costs only $100 on Amazon while it costs about $125 on Flipkart India. Now, keep in mind that this price difference is available only for high-end, branded sunglasses, as cheap counterfeit, knockoff brands are available in India for cheaper prices.
11. Google Home WiFi system
In India to ensure blanket WiFi connectivity throughout your home or home office, it is recommended you get a WiFi system like that from Google. They ensure that your home WiFi is extended with full coverage to the entire width and breadth of your home. There are many WiFi systems available but the Google WiFi systems are eye candy and you get it at under $125 a piece (you might need the 3 pack just in case).
12. Apple Watch or the New iPhone
Both the new iPhone and the Apple Watch are available in India. Meanwhile, it’ll be a good idea to get a non-contract iPhone (you got to pay full price) or an Apple watch for India.
P.S – When you get the iPhone, make sure it is unlocked, so it works in India.
13. Cosmetics & Makeup Kits
Apparently, many cosmetic brands are only available in the USA (some are available in Dubai Duty Free as well) and are great picks to buy from in USA online. Here are some of the best cosmetic brands you can buy from Amazon USA and bring to India.
- Marc Jacobs
- Sephora
- Maybelline
- Anastasia Beverly Hills
14. Microsoft Surface
If you don’t like or have folks who are anti-Apple, gifting them the best of Microsoft would be a great idea. If you have teenage/college-going younger generation guys, this would be an excellent gift idea too. Compared to prices in India, Microsoft Pro is a great gift.
15. Branded Bags
For women folks back in India, who’d like some branded bags, USA is the right place to buy from. Although some brands are available in Dubai Duty-Free, buying it from authentic stores or online websites, will ensure you’re getting the right product at the right price.
16. Alarm Clock/Radio
I found this fancy alarm clock/radio from Sony that could be a good gift to any household in India. It is cheap and unique!
17. Bluetooth Speakers
Bluetooth speakers are kinda trendy these days. They’re wireless and you can take them where ever you want – makes them instantly likeable! Although there are many bluetooth speakers available, I suggest something special and typically “American”. Marshall is a great brand when it comes to anything sound and this speaker I found is just amazing!
18. Polaroid WiFi Camera
For photography enthusiasts back home in India (and not so enthusiasts too), this cute little Polaroid Action WiFi Camera is sure to make a great gift!
19. DSLR Bag for Photography /Travel Enthusiasts
I found this really useful/ergonomic/fancy carry bag that looks like a great boon to those carrying large pieces of photography equipment. If you got folks in India who’s got a thing for travel, this sure will make them happy.
20. Universal Power Adapter (Must Have)
Now, whenever I travel to India, this is one thing I wished I carried enough. Because of the differences in the way plug sockets work in US and India, you always have one like this handy. It’s a great gift for yourself and those traveling as well. Plus, it was cheap. So.. 😉
21.Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush
For those who have that extra care for personal hygiene, a rechargeable electric toothbrush would be the perfect gift.
22. Step Down Transformer (To make US electronics work in India)
This product will go into my list of must-buys. It’s also my answer to how to make a US electronic product work in India.
Since all US electronic products work under 110 V, when you take them to India, you’ll need to convert/step down the power electricity input from 220V to 110 V. For that, you need a step down transformer. This particular product I’ve listed here is just perfect and fits all plug types (flat and round).
23. Japanese Knife
A little something for the kitchen! Get one of those iconic super-sharp Japanese knives. You will get good quality ones only in US (I guess Japan too).
24. US States Fridge Magnets
In fact, there are many fancy and unique refrigerator magnet sets you’ll find on Amazon, but I found this particular one interesting. It’s got every state of US in it. I think it’d make a good gift set and keep you remembered for it. Perhaps you can gift each one state to each of your friends?
25. BB8 App Controlled Robot
Any star-wars fans out there in India in your family? I can 100% guarantee that they will love this gift. It’s an app controlled little robot that does some cool moves!
26. Drone with Camera
Update: Drones are currently banned in India and you need a license from local authorities to fly them. So, it may not be a good idea to buy them.
Drones are much in demand these days, isn’t it? Young folks these days play with them all the time. Of course, the professional drones are all super expensive and are too much of a risk. But if you wanna gift a drone to one of your younger friends in the family, then there are several options. One such cool product is this drone I found on Amazon. It’s neither expensive nor too big to handle. You can easily pack it in your luggage.
27. Himalayan Pink Salt Lamp
This is a fancy lamp that can sit on your tabletop or bedside. It’s made of Himalayan rock salt and enhances the ionic balance of your living spaces. When heated, the salt crystal lamp emits negative ions that fight against electromagnetic radiation. The naturally-ionized air also helps you sleep better at night, allowing you to wake refreshed.
28. Infusion Water Bottles
For the health-conscious, this is the perfect gift! Infusion water bottles let you add fruits to the main infusion chamber and let the juices infuse into the water, making it a better, healthier choice for drinking water. Get it on Amazon!
Bonus Recommendations (From user feedback)
- Branded bags – Those of you women who fancy an MK or Louie Vuitton bag, might want to consider purchasing one from the states while leaving. They tend to be priced higher in India.
- Lots of flat pin to round pin converters – If you are taking your electronic devices to India, you will need lot of them.
- Non-stick cooking set – They tend to be higher quality if you’re buying a good brand.
- Jackets and Sweaters – You will get a better collection in US, compared to India, but choose the brands wisely as fancy ones tend to be on the higher side.
Wondering how to ship your items when returning from the US to India? Here are your best options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which is the best gift to buy from USA for parents?
Like I mentioned above, diabetic machines, sweaters, Roomba vacuum cleaners, bags, flashlights, radios are all good gifts. - What should I buy from USA for younger brother?
For younger generation, get something like the new iPhone X, Wireless Headphones, a Macbook or a Surface Pro. - Is it good to buy a TV from USA to India?
In my personal opinion, No. Agree that you will get large screen, newer tech TV in USA at almost half the price of what it’d be in India. The problem is shipping. If you ship the TV, you’ll need to pay customs duties in India, which can be almost 50 – 60%. These days you get good TV in India as well.
So, what are you planning to buy?
IPad, PlayStation, Xbox, Apple watch, iPad, DSLR Camera
Agreed. I take it back.
Interesting article but HIMALAYAN PINK SALT LAMP is a scam. Please don’t spread pseudoscience.
Useful one to all peoples visiting USA . All the best
Add infrared (Forehead and ear) thermometer – It’s very useful who are having toddlers back at home
It was really helpful, thanks a lot.
What should I buy from USA for my wife
It is very good information and helpful tips
Hi Mani,
It’s too inspiring and interesting to read you’re blogs and its more informative, thanks for your kind deed.
I am planning to buy a Dell laptop from US through a friend of mine who is currently in US on B1 Visa. But bit skeptical on my plan as he is already holding an office laptop so only option to carry the new laptop would be luggage. Would it be safe to carry through luggage because i have heard, at times these electronics in luggage get missed and we have no trace of it. Requesting your guidance..
Most gadgets don’t have international warranty, unfortunately.
Hi!, Mani very helpful, you recommend Gadgets but these don’t have an International warranty
Hi Mani,
Nice compilation of products. when i traveled my mom and few close relatives always ask me to get some edibles like Almonds(being US biggest cultivator in world), Dried Blueberries and Organic dark chocolates. Mom already have a voltage converter at home and in the past i have managed to carry a DYSON Stick Vacuum cleaner, Expensive Espresso Coffee Machine, Bread Maker, Good Quality Cutlery Set and Good Quality Dish Rack. I was able to accommodate these when travelling with family and we would have 2 empty spare bags to fill… Thanks
Yes, being a women i really didnot thought soo between the lines 😉
Hi Mani, I would like to ship Bibles to India. 13 new. Will there be a duty on each of them? I am sending them for a ministry. And how much is it in American dollars?
Karren, No. US cards won’t work in India. You could buy the ones on Amazon India store though.
I have a lot of co-workers in India. There are a few that go above and beyond and I would like to send them something to show my appreciation. Can I buy an Amazon gift cards in the US and mail it to my co worker in India? Can they use one that is in US dollars or would I need to have it converted before I mail? Thank you in advance for your input.
Shipping or Air, is better as I’m assuming it’s fairly larger and won’t fit your luggage.
Hi
How can we take Apple Mac to India ?
Hi Mani Karthik
Thank you for variety of ideas.
My friend is travelling from US to Pakistan in 6 to 7 weeks. I am particularly undergrad student and I cant see anything feasible in your list except Jackets.
Would you be kind enough to suggest something more relevant and interesting that I could request my friend to buy for me?
Love from Pakistan.
Regards,
Sanjay
You could bring it along with you as baggage without any customs AFAIK.
Hi Karthik,
Thanks for the informative article.
I am travelling to US in couple of weeks. Wanted to get a stroller for my kids. Do I need to pay custom duty for the same ? If yes, any idea how much ?. And, I am travelling alone for business.
Regards
Vivek
Hiii karthik its a cheerful useful article . Thanks
You can if it’s for personal use. One is definitely ok.
Hi Mani,
Can we carry iRobot from USA to India in our checked in luggage and we are planning to carry two for each of our family. Will we need to pay custom fee thanks
Sony alarm clock also only support 120v. There are other brands that works on 12v adaptor for which we can buy just an adaptor for cheap in india rather than using a step up converter.
I was scrolling down to see if u bought any high end Graphic Cards for high end games. Haven’t found it but liked your piece.
I like CK One and D&G Light Blue.
Even I am checking for some popular brand for perfumes. Can someone suggest please .
Thanks !!
Good choice Sagar! I love it.
You’re right. I’ve tried Indian ones too (mostly China made). What you get for 200 Rs is BS quality, that I have to keep replacing them once a while. (Gets loose or broken). Even in US, there are really cheap quality stuff but you’ll get good quality ones – which is what I recommend.
Ok sir.
You have to directly check with the seller. Not all laptops come with international warranty.
Mani Karthik…..Whr R U? Pls. reply. if you write blogs then must reply otherwise no use.
If it fits your luggage and is unpacked it should be fine. Since its for personal use.
Hi Mani,
Great list by the way.
I am planning to buy Chicago Pneumatic Die Grinder which would cost me around 100$.
Is it ok to carry with me or will it attract any customs duty.
Technically there is a difference and you need a step down convertor. But I’ve been using it for few months now and it works fine.
Thanks. Great list!
Although I would say Universal adapter are way cheaper to buy from India than in US.
You can get a really good one for 200 INR 🙂
I got one from India to US 😛
Thanks for the article.
Will robot vacuum cleaners (roomba) work fine in India given the difference in electricity voltage between India and USA?
“Dont find fault, encourage instead”
Hi MK, Thanks for your great blogs. Home theater speakers and receivers are almost half the price in US compared to India. Is it not worth enough buying them here and taking it to India? Do you know, If I will be charged customs for the equivalent price in India or for the discounted price, that I got from the US? I also heard that getting Blenders like Vitamin or Blendtec from US is really worth, as you don’t get the same quality blenders in India and there is considerable difference in the price too. Thanks for your time.
Interesting read and take on the topic ! My two paisa bit – While I’m all for intellectual equality, it’s nice and essential that feminity holds its own!
Varsha, try to appreciate his efforts rather than trying to find mistakes. You first learn, then you can preach others.
Great article..I’m going to buy the Sony alarm clock! Thanks
Hi Varsha,
I understand where you’re coming from. This point was clarified a few months back already but here goes again.
It’s not what I think what women want (as in a generalized view), but based on my experience, and preferences for my family. Which I am confident is very different from others. Wish I could talk on everyone’s behalf, but I’m sure you’d agree that it’d be unfair and I’d making a fool out of myself.
Would appreciate if you could see it in context and keep sexism out. I admit that such narrow remarks from me (putting gender in assumptions) may sound distasteful to others, but that is not my intention. I can only be honest about my experience at the moment. Perhaps, I’ll grow out of it with a broader experience another time. I’m happy that you can see it with much more clarity than I can at the moment.
On a side note, I think we should have a separate debate on sexism, as I think(selfishly) that I can learn a lot from you.
Things that bother me like,
– Why pink is associated with girls.
– Why we have men and women separation at urinals.
– Why women are underpaid in developed countries.
– Why breastfeeding isn’t open.
– Why is there reservation for certain communities including women.
I admit that I have, as being part of the society, conditioned to believe that some of these are fair, in the past. But questioning them I guess is a good step.
Thanks for your comment, and the time. I appreciate it.
I’ve fixed the remarks in my article.
Wow! Knives and kitchen utensils for mothers, perfumes, handbags, cosmetics for wives? You think that’s what women want? Or is that just based on the women in your family?
In our households men work in the kitchen too. And women are busy with more important things than handbags, and perfumes.
You may have learnt a lot of things by living and working abroad. But I guess nobody ever corrected your sexist remarks.
any good cosmetics you can think of which are cheap and can be taken in bulk? i am looking to gift my 10 lady colleagues!!
also please mention some of the hand bags which can be taken as gift to India. I want to know the brand which are not so cheap
I agree Nivy.
This is great stuff! I would like to include Board games for those who enjoy them. Some of the best board games are either not available or too expensive in India.
Sure thanks for dropping by James.
Hi Karthi
I gone through your blog . The things you have share are mostly connected to my situations where I had good experience like holding lot of shopping in my suitcase along with my parents and at that time we don’t have idea to send or leave at my friends house in USA.
Now I had good experience how to get USA product into my hands recently I got my DELL laptop from USA ,there are lot of service provides who can ship USA Online products to India like Borderlink , ShopUSA , iparcel etc .
Condoms! Because, USA condoms are loose.
Then, a mug to clean the crack better.
Also, your spectacles cost an arm and leg in USA (anti-glare, progressive, etc)
God frames.
Nice Post. Could you please recommend some popular perfumes..
I’m planning to assemble a gaming PC. At present the GPU prices are skyrocketing due to bitcoin mining and here in INDIA it is very expensive than USA. Since my relatives will be coming to India soon, is it advisable to import graphic card or CPU components(CPU,SSD e.t.c) from USA? what about the customs duty and warranty?
Nice information
Thanks for sharing this. I would include shoes, especially for close family members. The variety and quality in US is hard to find. Although Indian markets carry more shiny stuff, they miss out on stocking shoes for different functions (running vs tennis vs hiking) and don’t educate their customers about this.
You’re welcome. Glad you found it useful.
Great info. Thnq
Thanks Sonika.
Great list
Yes, it should be fine.
Hi Mani,
Nice ideas….
Can I carry google home any model to India ?
Great info. Did purchase millets from LION the Chinese stores (Asian?). Some seeds as well. HbA1C meter for diabetics- I didn’t see three in India
I need a windows laptop from USA, But will I get International warranty for any of the Brands? I have selected some models from HP, DELL And Lenovo but when I enquired about the warranty, they are not sure about it, unless they check it with the serial no. I am confused which one to buy.
PS(Laptop models-Lenovo Yoga 730 15, HP Spectre X360 15t, Dell Xps 15 2 in 1.)
Ybor city. Tampa. FL
Bose and Samsung has good ones. In fact, you’d want to check the electricity specifications. You’ll get good ones in India too.
Nice list Mani. I’ll be going back to India this month end. I was planning to buy a sound bar with a sub woofer. Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks,
Praneeth
Thanks Vaishnavi, feel free to contribute as well. 🙂
Everything is as long as it supports 4G and can run Indian networks.
Which mobile phone (not iPhone) is suitable to take to India?
Hi Mani ,
Excellent ideas…useful post. Glad I stumbled upon it. Thanks.
Yes these are personal items, so it’s perfectly fine. Hope you only have one each of them, or it’d be tough to convince them they are for personal use.
Hi Mani, great post. I’m getting many of these things you mentioned in the post. Just want to ask if I can carry hard disk, Amazon -Fire stick, Electronic Tooth brush sealed packs in checked-in luggage to India with me.
Thanks
Hi Mani ,
can you please suggest Things To Buy From India to US, When Traveling for long term in US.
Hey Vikas, If you’re carrying it with you, you don’t have to pay duty, as long as you’re carrying one or two for personal use.
Good suggestion Etika. Hadn’t thought about it. Thanks!
Great list!
Recently I took some comforters back home which turned out to be quite popular too. They are cozy and much light weight compared to Indian quilts and blankets. Around the year, there are several sales at Macy’s/Target etc and you can buy good quality single bed comforters for as low as $15.
Mani Karthik, Bro awesome work you are doing. I have a query. I am buying graphics card from USA as a gift . Do I have to pay custom duty on this item. And How many I can buy in one time?
Drones are not allowed to be enter India from abroad even if it is a toy drone per regulations starting October 7 2014. It will forever be stuck in customs.
Mani, what would be the best way to send some of my US stuffs like mementos, kitchen utensils, small but cute kids toys , gift items along with some big items like dining table / chair / memory foam mattress from Dallas, TX to Kolkata, India ?
USPS, FEDEX, UPS or some other more affordable mechanism ? My expenses, my company does not pay
There are lot of good quality brands available in India, I think it’d be a waste of space to bring it all the way.
How about adult diapers? Are they cheaper to buy from the us and ship them to india?
Hi Chitra, good suggestion. But Alexa has a country specific restriction and is now available in India. It probably makes sense to buy it in India.
I think you can add Alexa to the list :D, by the way, Great list, Thank you!
Hey Mani,
Your post is very helpful.Glad I found a recent one.
I have bought a laptop here in US and I want it to be shipped to India, but I am having a hard time finding a cheaper Mail Service.So can you suggest me some courier services which will ship it at a reasonable and low cost.Also I cant find any of my friends who are going back to India.
Thanks
Hello,
Drones are not banned in India, but they are regulated. Government has issued drone classification categories based on size and weight and in order to fly them, you need to get unique identification numbers and permission from the authorities.
Drones banned in India man , don’t recommend that any one.????
Glad you liked it Anand. Thanks for the support!
Excellent list Mani..
Thank you for taking time out to research and list out specific items with price differences.
Loved this list. Thanks again!
I’m quite honestly not that great with knowledge about cosmetic brands but I guess these are good.
– Marc Jacobs
– Sephora
– Maybelline
– Anastasia Beverly Hills
Hope that helps. 🙂
It does. You got to get a step down voltage transformer which will convert your 220 V to 110V. There are different variants available ranging from Rs.500 – Rs.2500, and you’ll get it at the local electronics store.
Doesn’t voltage frequency matter while buying electronics like iRobot Roomba Vaccum Cleaner?
can you please tell me some good brands.? My hubby is going to usa in next month so i want to tell him”thodi shopping karke aao” some ladies stuff and what to buy.? thank you
I agree Vidhya. Good suggestion! 🙂
well, you missed cosmetics 😛
Cosmetics here are damn cheap when compared to India. Tons & tons of varieties and products are available here which costs so less.
Ha! I didn’t know about them Naman. Do you know where to get them?
There are Cuba cigarette perfumes..those are excellent and not available in India
